Why have you never been a big fan of Dick Cheney? Your assessment of his recent performance suggests you have just discovered him.

Yes, I just discovered him. I am a tad surprised a person as powerful as he would just now show his true colors.

Dick Cheney has been a consistant loyal supporter of conservativism and the Bush administration...often, with president Bush, to a fault. His loyal team-player character required his silence during the Bush years, but thankfully no longer.

Yes, thankfully no longer and I do appreciate his team player thing. That is precisely why I would not want this man for President. He's too good to be President.

95% of what the author wrote was pro-Cheney and 99.999% was anti-Obama and yet you choose to fixate on the 5% that did not side with Cheney's position.

Maybe he'll consider taking a lesson from Dick Cheney.

Since when did vague imagery become “eloquence”? Anyone can come up with metaphorical phrases, not everyone can make their point clearly and leave no room for honest doubt of their position. Even those of us who can’t do the second, can recognise the difference.

ZERO OBAMA is already in way over his Head and it looks like it is not clean water, but rather raunchy, wretched Donkey Poop!

I didn’t get to listen to either speech today, but I could tell that Cheney gave the better speech just by listening to the Ed Schultz show today. He was so fake in his praise of Obama’s speech, I could just tell that Cheney was more convincing.

I think I’ll send Ed a male cheerleader’s outfit with OBAMA written across it.

Is there any doubt who the leader of the Republican PArty and conservatism in general truly is?

Not for me at any rate, I stand with Dick Cheney.

Amazing that this CBS editor comes right out and says, "I agree with Obama in principle, but in practice, Cheney was the only one making a solid argument."

Because while that's what he's *saying*, he's most likely *thinking* is "I think Cheney is an evil mastermind, and I'm terrified that Obama looks like a ill-prepared lightweight in comparison."

He should be scared. Because Obama won the election by running his mouth from the sidelines, talking trash about the big boys in the ring. Now he's in the ring, not really doing so hot, and good old Dick Cheney is relaxing the sidelines. With a lot of free time on his hands.

If I were an Obama enabler in the media, I'd be scared stiff. Because this is just the beginning of Obama failing to measure up.

Cheney destroyed Lieberman when they debated. I have heard Cheney speak several times and he is great, great wit and good timing and very quick on his feet. I wish his health was better.

Proof, McSelloutCain shouldn’t have run From the Bush Administration.

Doing so was to confirm this in the public’s eyes.

I believe we can say that Obama is lying and Dick Cheney is telling the truth, and truth always wins.

I would prefer spokesperson and leader for the American people. Many great presidents were exactly that combination.

Why can’t a president be a spokesman for the American people? That comment strikes me odd.

Bob Beckel and Larry O’Donnell were doing their enraged Donald Duck impressions today, in response to Cheney. Two uglier tantrums I’ve not seen in many moons.

Bush feels that the presidency should be above politics because he represents all Americans, not just the one’s that voted for him. He had the class and dignity to not come right out and blame the perjuring rapist for 9/11 when anyone with a pair of operating braincells could see it was his fault.
They always operated on a forward thinking approach, from day one when Clinton’s people vandalized the white house, refused to cooperate with the transition, trashed the executive office building, and looted AF One, he stressed that we need to look forward. Bush gave Obama and his team free reign and ordered his people not to do what Clinton’s slugs did and they trash him for it.

All this buffoon can do is blame Bush and Cheney.. Well, they picked on the wrong guy because Cheney ain’t gonna allow that crap to be spewed unchallenged.
makes me wonder what could have been if the White House actually fought back and took their defense to the American people.

Oh you should have seen and heard Bob Beckel. His head was exploding and his hair was on fire after Cheney spoke.
