Reply #18: Patience, my Brother, is all I can ask of you! As one who wants the good General to run, [View All]

He will have to make his own determination on this very important decision. He ran the last time because I for one, asked him to. This time around, if he runs, it will have to be because that what he wants for himself and for Americans.

I have met Obama and I have his book with his autograph in it, and as much as I like OBama as a very bright and shining example of an up and coming leader for my daughter's generation (she is a Black accomplished young woman currently at Harvard), my reasons for supporting the General all of this time does not allow me to just switch to someone that would be so green on Foreign policy at this time. If Wes Clark doesn't choose to run, no matter how much I "Like" OBama, I don't believe that I could energetically get behind his presidency.....although time could change that....perhaps.

The main problem for Wes Clark, who I believe is perfectly suited and specifically qualified to be President at this time, is that the press doesn't ever speak his name, thereby withholding any buzz that he would otherwise benefit from.

The main problem that I have with Obama, who I believe is not particularily suited to be President at this time, is that the press speaks nothing but his name, thereby helping him generate buzz not so deserved.

These extremes are frankly totally inappropriate and curious and are obviously due to those some might call The-powers-that-be who are handicapping the kind of candidates the Democrats will end up with...while the same people are heralding GOP Rudi 9/11 hero Giuliani and John POW hero McCain, neither thought of as green on national security (although I am of the opinion that both suck in this area).

In the meantime, Democrats get as their frontrunners.....Hillary "First Lady War supporting" Clinton, Barack "Fresh Face" Obama, John "I'm sorry about the war but I love the poor" Edwards and John "I ran already so let me run again" Kerry.

So I am of the opinion that of these above, Wes Clark is thus far the best suited to get done what this country requires at this time......and I can only hope and pray that he runs in order for me to have someone to "want" to support.

As I don't see myself supporting those who were for the war before they were against it....as this showed me an extreme lack of wisdom which therefore will not be rewarded by me by supporting them for the highest office in this land.....judgement lacking which I believe is required for the job, it leaves Obama preferable only by default, and that ain't the way that I want to go.
