Quite Concur. I wish General Petraus would resign and make a run. He’d be able to knock Obama back on his heels. America has always preferred a war hero to a clever lawyer, which is a sign that this country has its priorities in order.

Petraeus wouldn’t be able to touch Obama. Personality matters.

I like how you move “constitutional lawyer” to “clever lawyer”. Like he’s an ambulance chaser or something.Scholars are merely clever, where as a guy with a gun… brilliant!

I want a scholar in office. A war hero can be smart, a war hero can also be brave and dumb as hell. I want smart people running my country.
