I was told by General Clark's personal office in Little Rock as well as by the director of ...

If it is true.

I was hoping that Obama would lay down the politics and invite Clark -- a man he apparently regarded highly enough to have sitting next to him in the Obama's Foreign Policiy Advisory Board photo op -- back into the fold. For all we say about Obama being kick ass, he certainly seemed to fold when it came to Clark after his statement was spun.

and then ignore him completely. If this is true, I'll be leaving this board because I will NOT vote for Obama. I'll vote Green or something. Obama's "people" need to get their noses out of the Beltway and listen to the grassroots.
