Could Gen. David Petraeus Be the One to Challenge Obama in 2012?
Could Gen. David Petraeus be the one to rise up and challenge President Barack Obama and his radical-Left agenda in 2012? It's still unclear, but reports have surfaced that Petraeus will deliver the commencement address at the University of -- Iowa in 2010!
“THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that General Petraeus is planning on delivering the commencement address at the University of Iowa in 2010.”Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit
So reports Michael Goldfarb, late of the McCain campaign, on the magazine’s blog.
Petraeus going to Iowa, a state he doesn’t have previous ties to, is going to create a huge amount of buzz about his presidential ambitions because the Iowa Caucuses kick off the whole presidential nomination process. If he does, deliver the address—and Petraeus must know this—it will be seen as a sign that he is thinking about running in 2012.
Previously, it has been thought that Petraeus would not run against a president who had been his Commander in Chief. But there are reports of tension between Petraeus and Obama over both Iraq and Afghan strategy.
Very little is known about Petraues’s politics and no one knows how he would make the transition from soldier to politician. But if he did enter the race, it would shake things up dramatically. He would instantly become a top tier candidate and the most serious threat to Obama's chances of winning a second term.

Mr. Anonymous, your defensive posture is evidence of your hatred toward anything Republican, so kindly make your way to Huffington Post where your childish drivel will be appreciated.
You should be pissing your pants over the prospect of a General with more executive experience in his finger than Obama will ever have, running against a leftist radical, jimmycarter-esque, double-talking capitulationist.
If he is successful in turning the Afghan war around by 2011 he WILL win an election against Obama.
Americans got duped by a 600 million dollar propaganda machine in '08. Don't count on it happening again.

Below is the comment that Jake was responding to. I deleted the original comment because of foul language. I am pasting it in below with the profanity edited out:

Take off that uniform and he's just another loyal Bushie.
Bwahahaha!!!"
Jake,
You are exactly right! After four years of Obama and his left-wing agenda, Americans just may be yearning for someone like Petraeus. It will be interesting to see if he is truly wanting to run.
