Top Obama adviser David Axelrod sharply criticized Dick Cheney's recent contention that the president's national security policies have made the country less safe, suggesting the former vice president is not behaving like a "statesman."
[President Bush] has behaved like a statesman," Axelrod told CNN's John King on State of the Union regarding the former president's decision not to criticize the new administration. "And as I've said before, here and elsewhere, I just don't think the memo got passed down to the vice president."
In an interview on State of The Union last month, Cheney said the president’s decision to reverse a series of the Bush policies with respect to the war on terror was putting the country's national security at risk. (Video below)
"I think those programs were absolutely essential to the success we enjoy, of being able to collect the intelligence that let us defeat all further attempts to launch attacks against the United States since 9/11," he said then.

Maybe Cheney simply loves his country...
Stuff it Dave! I’ve never see the kind of hate you and your Obamacorns have demonstrated over the past year.
Now where did I put the world’s smallest violin? I keep misplacing it - but it merits use for Mr. Axelrod.
In Hussein’s perverted world, dissent from his policies is not patriotic.
Too bad, Hussein. There are millions of us out here who disagree.
But bowing and kissing the ring (butt) of an Islamic king is?
These people are beyond delusional
It’s the guy from Kenya who isn’t acting like a statesman.
Can someone make sure Jimmy Carter gets the memo.
Can someone make sure Jimmy Carter gets the memo.
Pray for America
Who cares about what David Axelrod says anyway? She's just a water carrier for Hussein.
Al Gore sure behaved like a ‘statesman’, completely vanishing from public life after Jan. 22, 2001. Anybody have any idea what’s become of him?/s;)
Nah. No double standard there.
Former President Bubba Clinton played at being President for nearly eight years, beginning on Jan. 20, 1993; just couldn’t stand not being on the stage. Dick Cheney, being quite a different kind of person, has been very quiet, but when he spoke had something of substance to say.
I guess the same memo didn’t get to Billy Jeff when he was criticizing President Bush eh? The Democraps were so happy. So now STFU and take it!
I guess this article proof someone in the White House got their feelings hurt =)
Cheney’s acting like a wise experienced old hand who loves his country. Axlerod is not. None of them are.

The reciprocal portion of Axelrod’s statements is that the new administration is not supposed to bash the previous administration.
Notice, that this axiom need not be mentioned or questioned by the media.
Go Cheney!
In fact, what a man is.
You are working for a weak poofter of a man.
Dick Cheney is a man, David.
Go from there.
