Reply #52: I know. I was just making a point

I remember when Clinton was President some people mused that the world was too peaceful, and that there were no domestic emergencies dramatic enough to give Clinton the chance to step up to the plate and establish his potential greatness. Ike and FDR were two talented men who history tested on a truly grand stage. Conversely neither Clark nor Warner have been put to that scale of challenge yet. So Clark is no Ike and Warner is no FDR. If we are lucky, even if one of them does become President, neither will be given that scale of challenge, though I worry that both the United States and the World are potentially slipping toward that magnitude of crisis.
