Obama Tool Wesley Clark Attacks McCain's Experience
Here's a criticism I thought I'd never hear from an Obama supporter. Creepy ex-General and BHO stooge Wesley Clark says that war hero, former squadron commander, two-term Congressman, and four-term Senator John McCain would make a lousy President because of his lack of experience.
Sniffs Clark:
I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.
Obama's most notable experiences consist of getting really stoned a lot in college, which he brags about like the teenager he still mentally is in his excruciatingly revealing Dreams from My Father. BHO has no serious qualifications at all, a fact that the bumbling Clark apparently believes he can obscure by attacking McCain's decades of relevant experience.
After denouncing his thin resume, next Clark et al. can go after McCain for spending 20 years in the pews of an anti-American church of race hate, for hanging around with unrepentant terrorists who bombed the Pentagon, for being an insufferable snob, for being married to a nasty little America-hating piranha, for advocating surrender to the terrorists we have on the ropes in Iraq, for not being able to decide whether Iran is a threat, for promising to suck up to hostile dictators, for being likely to subordinate our national interests to the execrable United Nations, for wanting to destroy our healthcare system with socialism, for intending to gut the military, for being likely to appoint left-wing extremists as judges, for promising to jack taxes through the ceiling, for having the most liberal voting record in the entire Senate, for being incapable of speaking publicly without a teleprompter, for hanging out with sleaze bucket Tony Rezko, for being a compulsive liar, for having a campaign that draws anti-Semites and 9/11 conspiracy kooks, for suggesting previous administrations should be imprisoned, for standing ready to deflect legitimate criticism with the trusty race card, for being pushed by the vile and fanatical mainstream media, et cetera.
The nice thing about projection is it gives liberals lots of rocks to throw.
On a tip from Wiggins.

But riding around for three months on a swift boat was a qualifying command experience for John Kerry ?

A fighter plane? It was a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk light attack aircraft.

What a bunch of fascist commie terrorists. I heard Obama wants to blow up Washington DC and turn it into a terrorist theme park! There was a Fox News special on it last night.

"No Executive Experience" !?!? In comparison to whom? Barry Hussein Obama? You could fit Obama's resume on a cocktail napkin right down to the fact he was fixing parking tickets in Chicago six years ago and now the dems have elected them as their presidential representative. I swear, you couldn't write this type of comedy

At the time of the Waco disaster Clark was Commander of the 1st Cav at Ft Hood. It was his armor that lead the attack at Waco. so allowing 1st Cav armor to be used against the Branch Dividains does qualify you for President?

I remember 5 years ago, my younger brother was trying to be a 'Hipster' (aka stuck- up, egotistical jerks who leech off their parents' trust funds and pretend they're Beatniks). He read this stupid book called 'The Hipster Handbook,' that was all about helping readers learn how to become pretentious pricks that only watch dull arthouse films, mock and insult anyone with different tastes than them, and sling around some of the stupidest and lamest slang terms I've ever heard. They are, of course, ultra- liberals, and on their website that year, they listed Wesley Clark as the "Hipster's Choice" for president (This was back when he was still a potential candidate for the 2004 election). That kind of endorsement should be enough evidence that Clark wasn't fit to be elected dog catcher.
And, as so many people here have already posted, it is incredibly stupid and hypocritical of Clark to claim that McCain doesn't have enough experience, when Obama hadn't even finished a full term in the Senate before announcing his own candidacy.

"I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president."
"riding"? You gotta be kidding me.
Skyhawks were piloted by skilled and brave men. Desks are "ridden".

And Yomama's qualifications for president?
He's black.
Period. No other "qualifications" what so ever. Nada. Zilch.
Yomama's resume is as empty as W. Clark's head.

Wesley Clark will say absolutely anything to suck up to his moonbat patrons. Wes has a lot of experience ordering bombs to be dropped, like on Belgrade, just not all that accurately. He also had to be fired after almost starting a shooting war with Russian peacekeeping troops. He is nothing more than a disgrunteld ex-employee trying to get back at his old boss.

Now now, let's give Clark the benefit of the doubt. Honestly "...riding in a fighter plane.." doesn't qualify you to be Commander In chief of the US Army and Navy, just like being....
A malitia officer (Lincoln)
An infantry major (McKinley)
A colonel of volinteer cavalry (T Roosevelt)
An artillery captain (Truman)
A PT boat commander (Kennedy)
Or an Able Seaman (Ford)
qualifies you to be Commander In chief. But it's good experience.

Four years ago, the Dems were claiming that Kerry's military service made him more fit for office than Bush's military experience. "Reporting for duty!" Now comes along Barry "The Messiah" Obama and suddenly military experience is no longer hip: it's all about being inspirational. Never mind his policy ideas; just listen to his speeches and let your feelings of hope and wonderment wash over you.
Barry doesn't "report for duty," he's just "present," like on so many of the votes he didn't want to go down on paper as either backing or opposing. Gotta keep those options open.
NH Dad, I like the cocktail napkin reference.

Braaaaaaaaaaack (excuse me) doesn't need any experience.
Being black is enough. Ask ANY liberal. Hell, he's articuate and clean. Who gives a flying leap about anything else! Black, articulate, clean - the man is GOD! Ask ANY liberal.
Jesus didn't have any prior experience being God, did he?

GET UNDER THAT BUS!!!!
Obama immediately throws McClark under the bus
Democrat Barack Obama rejected a retired general's suggestion that Republican John McCain's military experience didn't necessarily qualify him to be president, as GOP surrogates lined up to label the remarks indecent and disrespectful.
A day after retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, now an Obama supporter, discussed McCain's experience as a Navy pilot and prisoner of war in Vietnam on a Sunday talk show, his remarks set off the pattern that has become familiar from innumerable earlier flaps over surrogate remarks during the presidential election year: The candidates, Obama and McCain, took the high road while the bare-knuckled language was left to their surrogates.
At a news conference here Monday, McCain himself said of Clark's comment, "That kind of thing is unnecessary" and distracts from real pocketbook issues voters care about.
About the same time, Obama told an audience in Independence, Mo., that McCain had "endured physical torment in service to our country" and "no one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign, and that goes for supporters on both sides."

Clark thought being an enemy collaborator was a great qualification for a candidate in '04.

John McCain may well be more suited to be president. But Clark is right: getting shot down isn't the reason.

Awful lot of American flags behind you and Ashley Wilkes, there, Doh-bama -- thought you didn't have to show your patriotism (alleged) by wearing a flag pin, putting your hand over your heart during the National Anthem, etc. Anything to get elected, eh? Anything to get that POWER, eh?

I read where Barack woke up one morning and he was white from the eye brows up. He goes to the doctor who examines him, then brings out a beaker of a brown liquid and tell Barack to drink it. He does and low and behold he is back to normal. He makes a face and says what was that; it taste like shit? Doctor says " It was, you were half a quart low."
