Cheney’s speech was pre-planned. This was Obama’s show all the way. He ran to the National Archives to wave the bloody shirt and got his arse kicked by Cheney. Even the MSM is having a hard time rescuing Obama from himself.

This was Obama’s show all the way.

I commented in the live thread yesterday that it was poor planning on The O's team's part.

Initially, The O's was intended to be at the same time as Cheney's. Cheney, smartly, delayed his.

Thus, the schedule was:

The O, followed by Cheney.
Cheney's speech was scathing.
Even worse, Cheney's speech was followed by 3 hours of Rush.

Yep, Team Obama screwed the pooch by their poor planning.
