"What if a politician were to see his job as that of an organizer," he wondered, "as part teacher and part advocate, one who does not sell voters short but who educates them about the real choices before them?"
But it is already out there. And it needed to be out there. Wes Clark did not discredit his service - he only said that his service, including his POW experience, did not automatically qualify him for the Presidency. That is true.
If he was the candidate and said it he would get HAMMERED for going there, even with his military background. If Obama said it as the candidate it would be even worse, he'd get crucified in all the media coverage.
