Which Position In The Administration Would You Like To See General Wesley Clark Offered? [View all]

Just been discussing this in the E&E group in a thread about him being Energy Secretary http://www.democraticunderground.com/112729573 and thought it worth posing the question here.

Any ideas why Wesley Clark hasn't been tapped for any positions since President Obama was elected in 2008?

Also, while we're at it, what position, if any, would you like to see him being offered?
