Previously, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) had the honor of being Obama's anti-military mouthpiece but now Clark has been promoted to that exalted position, at least for now.
The interesting thing here is that this whole episode is part of the Obama strategy to dismiss John McCain's military career as irrelevant to the Presidency. Obama has to do that to make up for own thin resume when it comes to military and national security issues. He is also using this episode to draw attention away from his lifetime of associations with radicals and radical causes.
The bigger picture is that Obama views the military with contempt. He views your service to America with contempt. The real message he is sending out is that he doesn't value your military service past or present, including those serving right now in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I concur fully. I have serious doubts about Sen. Obama's ability to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. It would be a return to the Clinton presidency--yeah, the guy who cut the Army from 18 division to 10. Nice job, Bill.
