Obama/Clark 2008
Dear Senator Obama,
I think all the sane folks know who our presidential nominee is going to be. I sincerely want to thank you, and your family, for stepping up to lead this nation in the face of so much hate and vitriol.
Congratulation for running an amazing campaign. Your team has brought some hope to a nation thoroughly beat down by the incompetence and arrogance of the criminals in the White House.
You defeated the self ordained queen of Democratic politics with honesty, hope, and unflagging energy in the face of race baiting and dirty tricks galore.
Now the time has come to consider your running mate for the White House.
It is my opinion that you could do no better than General Wesley Clark...and here is why.....
General Clark is a genuine American hero. A Rhodes scholar who graduated first in his class at West Point, he brings a gravitas and level of international experience that is unmatched. The 4 star general's strong name recognition and broad appeal would be the perfect complement in your fight for the White House. And make no mistake Senator, the GOP will be trotting out every dirty trick in the book to keep the White House. You need a VP that will stand by your side and swat them back handily. He is untarnished by the DC Loop stigma and speaks with the authority of a man who knows the facts and will not be swayed.
General Wesley Clark will strengthen your appeal to the military and their families. This is important because of the noble history of your opponent. I respect John McCain for his service, but I want the Democratic Party to be able to stand up to him on issues of national security without hesitation with a voice of experience and authority that only a 4 star general can provide. We must win, or we are doomed to a continuation of the current misguided foreign policy which can only lead to disaster.
I implore you to give serious consideration to General Wesley Clark as a prospective running mate. Together you can change the dangerous path this nation has stumbled down over the last seven years, and begin the long job of restoring this great nation back to its former glory.
Respectfully,
