Petraeus: Hillary Would ‘Make A Tremendous President’
Former Army Gen. David Petraeus , who has traditionally stayed away from political endorsements, appears to be eager to support a Hillary Clinton candidacy, a new book alleges.
“She’d make a tremendous President,” the former commander and CIA director reportedly says in the new book “ HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.
“Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times,” Petraeus adds.
The comments mark an interesting departure for Petraeus, who, when it comes to politics, has typically remained quiet.
UPDATE: Prior to the sound of several cranial detonations in the far distance, the following messages were posted to Tea Free Republic:
That sounds about right from this clown. He’s been bought.
Yes, at one time I thought he might make a good GOP candidate.
Boy, were a lot of us very, very wrong.
