The Bush 43 presidency has proven the overwhelming necessity of the "3 C's"--Character, Compassion, Competence--that should be required qualities of any person elected as president.
Any one of the current Democrats who have declared their presidential aspirations stand head & shoulders above POTUS 43 when it comes to these three traits.
There are other things that play a part in our quest to find the candidate who best meets the criterial of what we want in a president to be sure, but I truly believe that the "3 C's" are prime indicators of a person's core values.
This diary is about the Character, Compassion & Competence exhibited by one man who has yet to declare that he too has the desire to be our presidential nominee for '08--Wes Clark.
