To elaborate on one of your points, Obama is supposed to be the POTUS - not the President of All Democrats, or President of My Loyal Followers, or President of the Salivating Press Corp, etc. Obama needs to understand, apparently, that the campaign is OVER.
This whole dog and pony show of the “torture vs. enhanced interrogation techniques” has backfired on the Dems and made them look incredibly foolish and divisive.
Normally, recognizing that a photo is indeed just a snapshot in time, I don’t (or at least try not to) arrive at judgements or conclusions based upon one person’s goofy expression or one eye caught looking askance or a flared nostril or any number of anythings like those.
But that picture just speaks to me, on several levels. Just thinking about what’s going through Cheney’s mind is...well, it isn’t just one word, it’s as if I can feel an entire thought process. And it ain’t pretty!
Ah yes, gravitas. Cheney has it spades. Obama doesn’t know who his Secretary of Defense is.
I love how the Author keeps reminding us he personally does not agree with Cheney’s statements.
I would love to know exactly what he disagrees with. I am a Conservative because Common Sense leads me there.
Liberals seem to lack the Common Sense ideal.
I agree. His "eloqence" is a form of conventional media wisdom that is parroted from one birdcage to the next. The proof lies in asking, How many people who were initially opposed to him have been turned around by his speeches since taking office? I'd bet very few if any, and in fact there are many who have been turned off.
That's silly. No one blamed Bush for that. There is nothing wrong for standing up for what is right and Bush did not do that. During and after his Presidency, he should have stood up for what he thought was right. I think he was tired of the fight and who could blame him for that?

Compelling evidence of his efficacy. When Larry ODonnell starts screeching like a banshee with rabies you know we have a hit on the target.
Fire for effect!
Of course. Like the moslem terrorist barbarians, 'rats see civilized behavior and interpret it as weakness.
Dick Cheney was Presidential. Obama was a petulant teenager.
Thank you for posting Cheney’s mailing adress.
I didn't really understand that either...
That's "conservatism," and no, he's not been a consistent loyal supporter. Instead, Cheney has been a consistent supporter of the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), a major threat to our national sovereignty, productivity, and prosperity. All is not as it seems.
Well said. That answers the question of FReepers bellyaching "WHY DIDN'T CHENEY SAY THIS FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS???" -- Uh, because he wasn't the Head Honcho?
I became a Cheney fan during Bush 41’s War to drive Iraq out of Kuwait. He is the main reason I voted for Bush 43.
I wish Bush would have let Cheney speak out during the last 8 years instead of allowing day after day of misinformation to go almost unchallenged.
Just heard a bit of McCain on Greta’s show. I take back my vote, shoulda sat home.
Certainly not the current president, but in the truest form isn’t the president suppose to be a spokesman for “the people”?
If there is anyone alive who comes close to meeting that definition Cheney does. Anyone else out there, by all means raise your hand and let us get acquainted with you.
Thnk you sir...I’m going to fire off a letter of thanks tommorrow...
‘ere we are
