Cheney should be grateful to Obama
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 5/27/9 | Helen Thomas

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is tossing verbal grenades at his successors. Maybe he just can't stand the loss of power.

Pitiful.

He is acting like a man who is one step ahead of the sheriff. Actually, that could be the case.

The true story of Cheney's manipulations and deceptions during his eight years in the White House is yet to be told. Right now he sees that his best defense is offense. He has accused President Obama of "recklessness'' and weakening national security.

Cheney should be grateful to Obama for not throwing the book at him and revealing his true role in helping President George W. Bush lead the U.S. into the Iraq debacle. Obama also has resisted the creation of a truth commission that would review the real impetus for the mindless war there.

How does this woman continue to have a front row seat at the White House press briefings? So much for an inquisitive and cynical press corps.

I know I should consider the source, but it still sucks to have the Queen of the White House press corps showing no grasp of reality. If she believes everything she writes, then she’s just taking up space at those Q&As...

Nothing wrong with Helen. I can see the laxatives kicked in. This is some grade a —— that she’s shoveling.

When is this moose going to shuffle on down to the depends rack at the local market, and quit spewing stuff all over the public?

Cheney should be grateful to Obama because with every passing day the Bush administration looks better and better by comparison to the corrupt, incompetent, traitorous regime currently in the White House.

Isn’t it amazing how much Helen KNOWS but won’t share ?
Where’s the open and transparent? C’mon, Helen. Inquiring minds want to know, too.

I don’t even want to think of what Helen does with pictures of Obama, alone at night.

In the long line of things and people Cheney should be grateful for and to - modern medicine (4 heart attacks), the US Marine Corps, Halliburton, George Bush (both of them actually) - Obama doesn't win. Or place, or show.

One might ask whether Nazis, Communists and Democrats all started out reckless and venal, or did they only become that way after years of self delusion.
