Just realizing that this is the moment for Clarkies to bring more attention to Clark once again in the blogosphere if possible. He was pre-empted by the news on Tim Russert the other night, when he seemed likely to get a lot of coverage over his attack on McCain, but there are many things people don't realize about Clark and I'm hoping my focus on his 100-year-plan will attract viewers.

"Now" is Wednesday, June 18, 10:30 western time.

Sit back and watch these videos tell the story:

Hillary Fights for You

Togo West and Wes Clark for Hillary Clinton

Paul Eaton and Wes Clark – Hillary in China and as future CINC

Wes Clark, Bill Owens and Joe Sestak - Hillary vs. McCain for CINC

I watched that debate on TV, when the young woman asked that canned question of Hillary Clinton about which she preferred, diamonds or pearls? Everybody thought it was a powder puff question not unlike the boxers or briefs question Bill got when he was a candidate. Hillary told the audience that she wants both (diamonds and pearls.) In the background Joe Biden could be heard to ask they give all the candidates that question and then I could hear him saying, "diamonds." Who cares you might ask?

“…We’re a nation that has strong values, and we live them….It’s a wonderful country that we’ve been privileged to live in….It’s about having the imagination to dream…and the courage to reach….People are the only thing that makes a difference, and each person makes a difference.” This is just part of what Wes Clark says in answer to a question Hannah Robinson (class of 2010) asks him at Colgate University after his lecture on February 20, 2007.

The One Percent2006-USA

PLOT DESCRIPTION

Filmmaker Jamie Johnson examines the growing divide between the wealthy and the poor in America in this documentary. Johnson, an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, interviews a number of America's richest people (including Apple Computers' Steve Forbes and Kinko's founder Paul Orfalea) and asks them about the inherent dangers of having the majority of America's money in the hands of less than one percent of its citizens. Johnson also discusses the economic and societal pitfalls of our current economic imbalance with noted economist Milton Friedman, former labor secretary Robert Reich, and activist Ralph Nader. Finally, Johnson looks to the other side of the fence as he interviews cab drivers, farm workers, and the residents of a Chicago housing project on the day-to-day realities of poverty in the 21st century. The One Percent received its world premier at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Larry Summers sees the $800 billion deficit as a potential global crisis. He
believes it could lead the way to a global recession. Summers was Treasury Sec.
after Rubin in the Clinton administration. Had Bush kept him in place, we might
be in much better shape now. I suspect Bush had other plans for the treasury
than keeping us on track to be debt free and in the black. IMHO, BushCo's plan
was about looting the treasury in ways that were more than just "starve the beast."
The cronies have made a lot of money from government contracts and other favors.
