David Walters
David Walters served as the Governor of Oklahoma from 1990 to 1994.
During his administration, he led trade delegations to eight nations and
completely reorganized international trade for the state, resulting in
Oklahoma's international trade growing at twice the national average. He
aggressively promoted economic development and achieved a 15-year record
in job growth. As governor, Walters established a central, unified Department
of Environmental Quality and created the first Cabinet-level position of
Secretary of Environment.
Today, David Walters is president of Walters Power International, a global
leader in supplying, developing, servicing and managing electrical generation
plants. Formed in 1995, WPI and its affiliated companies have negotiated and
concluded dozens of agreements on projects in China, Dominican Republic,
Haiti, Ecuador, Pakistan, India, Bulgaria, Russia, the UK, Finland, France,
Australia, Canada, Mexico and the US. Walters likes to say he used to have
power, now he creates it.
Since 1995, Walters has made hundreds of international trips to more than 30
countries. Walters remains active in state and national politics, having recently
served as a chair on the 2008 Democrat National Convention Rules Committee.

"...His opponents like to downplay Obama’s
oratorical skills. They are wrong to do so.
The Cairo speech changed the world.
I was in London with a room full of Muslim
businessmen who held a negative view of Obama and the
U.S. Following the speech, I saw their attitude change
dramatically. Obama’s blunt, truthful words released the
steam from the “hate the U.S. balloon” that drives so
much violence. If you have not read it, please Google it
and read it. Words are important, particularly when they
come out of the mouth of the President of the United
States. Obama’s ability to so beautifully articulate the
hopes and dreams of the U.S. – and how closely they
align with the desires of billions around the globe who
want only good things for their families – is important....
"French President Sarkozy had it right when he said, 'this
award symbolizes America’s return to the hearts of the
people of the world.'”
