Earlier General Wesley Clark, retired and former candidate for President made some remarks about who might be qualified for president.  Of course, everybody knows that Clark was being a surrogate for Obama and Obama’s attempts to lessen the allure of John McCain’s military service since Obama has none.  But Clark seems to have stepped over the line when he said “I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.” That raises an interesting question:  What would Clark have said about the military and other exploits of other presidents?

Wesley Clark on George Washington:  "I don’t think crossing the Delaware River standing up in a boat in the middle of winter qualifies Washington to be president.”

Wesley Clark on John Adams:  “I don’t think being a diplomat in France and Holland during our bloody revolution qualifies Adams to be president.”

Wesley Clark on Thomas Jefferson:  “I don’t think writing the Declaration of Independence qualifies Jefferson to be president.”

Wesley Clark on Abraham Lincoln:  “I don’t think splitting logs in Illinois qualifies Lincoln to be president.”

Wesley Clark on Ulysses Grant:  “I don’t think accepting Lee’s Sword at Appomattox qualifies Grant to be president.” 

Wesley Clark on Teddy Roosevelt:  “I don’t think riding up San Juan Hill with a bunch of washed out cowboys qualifies Roosevelt to be president.”

Wesley Clark on Franklin Roosevelt:  “I don’t think getting polio and riding around in a wheel chair qualifies Roosevelt to be president.”

Wesley Clark on Ike Eisenhower:  “I don’t think sitting on a battleship while our brave soldiers invaded Normandy qualifies Eisenhower to be president.”

Wesley Clark on John Kennedy:  “I don’t think letting a Japanese Destroyer ram your PT boat, sinking it, qualifies Kennedy to be president.” 

Clark seems to have thought that having no substantial experience qualifies Obama to be president, and certainly he thought that being the fired military commander of NATO qualified him to be president.

For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides women’s chef coats some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona.

The terms of the deal hide chef coats the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment." According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering aprons headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign.

17 One of the most common mistakes that individuals make is underestimating the amount of ice that they actually need for their facility. Generally you need to lean towards over-sizing the ice bin. Here is one particualr situation where over-sizing an ice bin would be a great decision by a customer:



A person buys an ice making machines that produces 300 lbs of ice along with a bin that holds that quantity plus has additional room for another 50 lbs of ice. The client lets his ice cube making machine run before bin has reached its maximum fill capacity.
