Wes Clark for somethin'

[DividedWeAre]

Wes Clark for somethin'. Wes Clark for somethin'. C'mon PE Obama, be is the smartest guy out there. Integrity, too. Sign him up for the team!

[DJ13]

1. Maybe he doesnt want to be in government again?

I agree though, that man is smart and would be an asset if he did want to serve again.

[elleng]

5. He 'wants' to do what

'they' need to be done.

I'm concerned about 'them' at the moment, for this reason.

[...of J.Temperance]

7. Who are "they" and "them"? n/t

[elleng]

12. The up-coming administration,

the O-movers at the moment.

[...of J.Temperance]

17. I don't think there's any reason for you to be concerned about the Obama Administration

I believe that hearts and minds are in the right place with the in-coming Administration.

[elleng]

20. I've thought so, too;

I've hesitated as I've felt ??? about them and Wes.

[...of J.Temperance]

21. It's okay, I can confidently say that I reckon the new Administration can be trusted

Unlike the outgoing Regime.

[Captain Hilts]

2. Clark's worked his butt off trying to get a more Democratic Congress. nt

[Lex]

3. I agree. He should *not* go un-utilitized by the Obama Admin.

4. Wes Just Wants To Serve,

in whatever way is best for this country, whether it's in Obama's cabinet or not. He is awesome!

6. Wesley Clark could be National Security Advisor or Secretary of Defense

Either way, I agree he needs to be given a role in the Obama Administration.

My ticket in 2004 was Wesley Clark/ John Edwards *sigh*, in my heart I know that a Clark/Edwards ticket would have won.

[elleng]

11. I've hoped for

NSA for a LONG time.

[...of J.Temperance]

18. Wesley Clark would make a great NSA agreed n/t

[XOKCowboy]

15. I'd have happily voted for it..

Edwards/Clark, Clark/Edwards either one.

[...of J.Temperance]

19. Yes either combination would have won

It would have been a killer ticket!

8. I somehow believe that he may be tapped as SOD in 2010.....

when he is elligible, and when Gates would no longer be as useful as he will be on the onset.

I believe that Barack has a good relationship with Wes.

[elleng]

10. OH Frenchie,

thats the best i've heard in ages!

My impression has been that they DON'T have a good relationship; I SO HOPE I'm wrong about that!

[FrenchieCat]

14. I don't think they have a bad relationship........

I think that Wes Clark, if he wants, has a place in this administration.

There are many, many positions left to fill.

[4lbs]

16. I totally agree. Although, I'd like it to happen sooner than 2010.

Now wouldn't be too soon would it?

:D

[FrenchieCat]

23. Legally, Wes Clark is not eligible till 2010.

Which would make it a good reason to wait.

[4lbs]

24. Ah yes, you are right. Maybe that's why Obama is inclined to keep Gates on for 2009

and wait until Wes Clark is eligible in 2010.

[Zen Democrat]

9. If nothing else, at least DNC Chair.

He works harder than anyone to elect Democrats. I think Wes Clark is qualified for just about any job in Washington. Has he been out of the military long enough to be eligible for Secretary of Defense? Hmmmm, maybe that's why Gates is rumored to be held over for a while. Or maybe this is just wishful thinking!

[yeswecanseattle]

13. Lets make sure we get General Mcpeak in there first after all he was behind BO before it was popular

Mcpeak was behind Barack from day one. Wes was not.

[cyclezealot]

22. I second that emotion.

[victoryparty]

25. Clark for Deputy Secretary of State (Hillary's No. 2)

[fujiyama]

26. That's an interesting idea

He has a close relationship with Hillary. Who appoints the Deputy? The president or the Secretary?

What Hillary will need for that position is someone perhaps a bit better versed in geopolitical issues. I personally think Clark fits the bill...

[robcon]

27. Clark is dead to Obama, IMO.

Clark, in his Clinton-supporting days (when he was probably a frontrunner to be Clinton's VP if she won the nomination) said "Former NATO commander Wesley Clark, a Clinton supporter, called the comments "disturbing," and he accused Obama of not being prepared enough to be commander in chief and properly oversee an end to the Iraq war."

No job for Wes, IMO.
