Go Barack - Go George:

NEW YORK (CBS 2) -- U.S. Sen. Barack Obama seems to be testing the presidential waters by meeting with key Democratic donors.

The New York Times reported that Obama met on Monday night at the offices of liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros in New York City.

2. Join the club...
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I call it diplomacy, not chatting, Bill. Diplomacy.

Bill O'Reilly: Okay, you can call it whatever you want, General - you're still moving your lips. Um now, I have to ask you this question because it looks like your political group, WesPAC, accepted $75,000 from far-left bomb-thrower George Soros. You've got to be careful here, this is a bad guy.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: We accepted money from a very responsible financier because he wants to see Democrats in office and that's what I've been working on.

Bill O'Reilly: Are you talking about Soros?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: You're darn right I'm talking about Soros. Have you read his books?

Bill O'Reilly: You like this guy?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Have you read his books?

Bill O'Reilly: Have you read my book?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I've read your book.

Bill O'Reilly: Have you read my book?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Have you read his book?

Bill O'Reilly: I have read portions of it.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: You're not answering my question.

Bill O'Reilly: I've read parts of it.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, you ought to read it. He's a guy who's pretty experienced. He's called a lot of things right and he's done a lot for the world in Eastern Europe and so forth.

Bill O'Reilly: He doesn't want a war on terror, General.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Oh, he does. He wants to win the war on terror.

Bill O'Reilly: No he doesn't.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: But let me tell you something, Bill. If we want to win this war, we've got to win it on several different levels and the military is the last, last, last resort. You've got to win the battle of ideas.

Bill O'Reilly: I understand that. I want to bring you back. I want to bring you back in the next week or so because Soros wants open borders, a one world government, legalized narcotics, and I don't think you want any of that. So we'll bring the General back and talk to him about Soros.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well, let's talk about it all.

Bill O'Reilly: We will. It'll be like a little negotiation, you know.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: We'll call it diplomacy.

Bill O'Reilly: Alright. Still moving your lips.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: You're darn right.

Bill O'Reilly: Thanks a lot, General.

4. Well, now you do know....
George Soros held a fundraiser for Clark at his Manhattan home in April 2006, and has donated more personal funds to Clark's candidacy than he has to any other potential Democratic nominee for '08.<17>

7. More great news.
Two of the people I most admire in this world getting along. Not suprising, I guess. :)

5. He may have met with him but George is a dear friend of Wes Clark.

Clark and Soros's friendship goes back to when Clark was Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. Soros gave $75,000 to WesPac not too long ago. So we shall see.

Of course Hillary recently met with Charlie Rangel, and Charlie was in on the Draft-Clark movement. This is all very interesting.

Clarkies need to do a shout-out to Wes Clark and tell him to get back from the Middle East! Pronto! LOL
