I liked Clark for VP myself, especially because of that comment made about McCain's military experience somehow qualifying him for the presidency. I like people who speak their minds and tell it like it is. My grandfather used to always say that, "Tell it like it is." Enough reminiscing, we've got an election to win! Hear, hear!

Personally, I believe Obama doesn't want any part of him, for whatever reason. He's never been invited to any campaign events or even the convention, has he. He's become a non-person to them. Why?

He was the PERFECT VP choice!

I respect mccains service to his country but that does not qualify him to be president. He would bring back the draft, where wesley clark respects peace & is a much more qualified to speak about mccain. wesley clark spoke the truth about john mccain, that everyone seems to be afraid to do.

The man is a Rhodes Scholar in Economics, Speaks several languages and if he can hold a nineteen-nation coalition like NATO together, he should be the poster child for diplomacy. He is a loving father and grandfather. His wife, Gert, would make an incredible First-Lady. While I thank you for your service to our country, you're thinking like a Marine. Army Officers have minds of our own and while we were taught discipline, commitment, honor and leadership. This nation was fortunate to have General Clark in command in Bosnia. It was an ugly conflict that was successful and did not cost any American lives. He always put his troops first, as he puts this country first.<br><br>LTC Devon Thyme<br>US Army (Ret).

It’s bad enough that Obama chose a warmonger like Biden, a Cold War left over. Obama needs to put a leach on his attack dog Biden because we are sick of Biden’s lies on behalf his lobbyists. We are sick of Biden’s association with the terrorist KLA and I am a Zionist speeches. Biden needs to speak on how he plans to win the peace not how he wants to win wars. If Obama wants change great speeches will not get him there. Hitler also made great speeches to screaming crowds. Obama will be judged by his deeds. Russia bashing and posturing to promote another Cold War is not the direction that Americans want. America needs to return to championing international law observing its covenants and being the example that follows due process, rule of law and being a partner not an adversary in world affairs.
