Cheney was terrific
American Spectator ^ | May 19, 2009 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 05/21/2009 4:42:05 PM PDT by RobinMasters

In the past I have made quite clear my admiration for former Vice President Dick Cheney. So it will come as no surprise that I think his speech today at the American Enterprise Institute was pitch perfect. But I will say something stronger: I think that if somebody came to the subject fresh, with no preconceived notions, and watched (as so many of us did) President Barack Obama and Cheney back to back today, dueling across town, that open-minded person would believe that Cheney made a far stronger case. And oddly enough, Cheney's very lack of "style points" served only to emphasize rather than detract from the simple, straightforward weight of his message.

I think we need to give Obama a break about his lousy pressers without his trusty teleprompter. After all this is his first real job !!!!

In Bush’s defense...his foremost objective was our security and I think the viscous left continually trying to cut him off at the knees - for doing a good job - had to have it’s effect.

The left in this country is absolutely rabid - I’m surprised anyone runs for office anymore with these hounds from hell out there waiting to tear their prey from limb to limb.

Yea, I notice some of that. President Bush might be a covert stutterer. If you know your going to block in the middle of a sentence, your message has a good chance of getting lost. Bush is right to keep out of this debate. He made some mistakes along the way but He did keep the nation safe and walked away with his integrity.

Or anything ELSE. :-/

Did you see the way Bibi stared ZERO down at the presser? It was downright funny watching ZERO lower his eyes and cower.

Hussein always looks small next to grown men of intelligence and substance. He’s just good at faking it with a complicit media when there’s no comparison around.
