13. Clark is not a "doer", he's a CRITIC
A critic, as a political scientist friend Jim Desveaux likes to say, is "a eunuch in a whorehouse".

He's sought schooling for his troops' kids, he's negotiated for treaties and he's led troops, but he's also a corporatist, a lobbyist, a pundit and a would-be knight in shining armor.

The President of the United States has to be able to speak clearly, have some finesse, be able to distinguish reality from horseshit and be willing to stand by his/her words and actions. He is woefully deficient in all of these.

His action in LYING about his opponents on a very important issue like this--clearly, and beyond any quibbling, mind you--is a career killer. This is the exact same lie Dean told; he never paid for it because he caused himself so much trouble with so many other missteps that the whole overcame the parts.

This man is not trustworthy if he doesn't retract this in a major way.

Edwards and Kerry fought the good fight on this and many other things.
