My Gosh! We may be overlooking a lot of Presidential material languishing in our prisons? If getting shot and being thrown in prison makes you commander in chief material, there are a whole lot of gang-bangers out there that should be running for president. General Wesley Clark made a simple common sense statement in response to a question posed by Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation, last Sunday. Bob Schieffer: “I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down. I mean”-General Wesley Clark: “Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be President.” Bob Schieffer: “Really?!”

Publisher's Statement
U.S.A. ThisWeek is a national weekly news magazine, the print version will soon be launched that will provide national weekly news-media representation for African Americans and fill a long standing news-media void. It’s our{mosimage} position that, until African Americans have a national voice that presents a perspective representing our interests and concerns on a weekly basis, we are relegated to less than full participation in the society. With the establishment of U.S.A ThisWeek, no longer will the area of news be dominated by the mainstream news media nor will the proliferation of traditional pundits, politicians and news readers have a monopoly on the opinions and perspectives being posited to the public.
In addition, with the new threat to our existence of international terrorism which places us all at risk, we can no longer remain quiescent and allow information that would address that threat to go unreported. Right now we’re in a Russian roulette posture based on the assessment of the current administration that “they only have to be right once; we have to be right all the time.”
