Wesley Clark was on Face the Nation today, and he took aim at the idea that McCain's Vietnam War experience makes him more qualified to be president. “I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.” With one swoop, Clark attacked the entire basis for the McCain presidential campaign.

There are many people out there attacking Mr. Obama for the comments made by Gen. Clark yesterday morning. Apparently, reporters write what they believe, not the truth, and everyone eats it up. The opening line to Josh Kraushaar's article on Politico.com, "Gen. Wesley Clark, acting as a surrogate for Barack Obama’s campaign..." is false but those who choose to believe everything they read, have taken those words and ran with them.
I find it amazing that although Mr. Obama stands in front of the American people and denounces Mr. Clark's statements, no one believes him. What is the truth then? What you say it is? If it's offensive and polarizing enough, it has to be true. Followers of this election appear to be picking and choosing what they believe to be true. You can't do that. Well, you can, but then you would no better than those who are attempting to think for us.
Just as religious zealots do not "speak" for God, when they perpetrate violence on others for their beliefs, nor can one man sum up another in one sentence.
