Live Thread: Obama vs. Cheney
Thursday, May 21, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/21/2009 7:11:47 AM PDT by kristinn

Obama goes first in a few minutes. He's speaking at the rotunda of the National Archives (you think we could get Nicholas Cage on that birth certificate thingey?) on his Gitmo policy and other man-caused calamities.

Vice President Cheney gets the rebuttal time. He's speaking at the American Enterprise Institute around 10:45 a.m. EDT.

The word I posted isn’t a name ... it’s a descriptive adjective.

However, I misspelled it: it’s ... a-s-i-n-i-n-e

But these are thoughts that you've come to since then. When he first said it everyone was bringing up the notion of ‘the 57 Islamic states’ - actually nations.

At first I thought he misspoke but then everyone believed he said it because of his heritage.

All the pundits — like Shep Smith — screaming about the audacity of Obama speaking out because Bush is being silent conveniently forget Bush never said anything bad about Clinton after he took office and that same silence was greeted with nothing but derisive statements from Clinton(s) and Gore. I have always had great respect for Cheney and have even more now for his firm and decisive clarity on what is important and his backbone in taking it head on, no matter the criticism.

You're quite welcome.

I'm with you - - I think he wrote it himself, too. It was very much "him"; not words written by someone else.

Hey, did you spot the link Bush Revolution posted? Some video highlights of Cheney's speech .

If it had been Cheney-Palin I somehow doubt Cheney would have told her to shut up and play nice... she was really inside O’s head and his polls were tanking when McCain chickened out and gagged her.

Lots of practice changing poopy diapers on my twins, LOL!

We have a LOT of cats and that means several litter boxes to scoop each day. Even that doesn't prepare me enough to survive the DUmp without a super-heavy-duty hazmat suit. LOL!

Oh - Obama is a radical racist fatherless alleged primate

But “57” -

No - Obama is merely an ignorant affirmitive action jerk

Sometimes the easiest way to describe somone is with the truth

Obama thought that “Austrian” was a lanquage?

We are taliking major league stupid here.....

Nope...IMHO....Cheney would not have picked Palin in any case.

But given that Mr. Cheney is a leader, a very good politician, an experienced insider, a "street fighter" when needed, a patriot, a businessman, a trader, a winner, and a consumate professional....here's a fun thought.

On the day that hitlery was mentally quiting after the great god obammer got the better of her, she'd have received a call from Mr. Cheney. Making no mistake about anything, he'd have explained exactly what her role would be...then hired her as his running mate.

The two of them on one ticket would have killed obammer. And truth be told...it would have been one heck of an administration!

Food for thought??

“Beckel calls Cheney’s speech slanderous.”

Bob Beckel is a Democratic Party hack. That’s what he did for a living.

“he has never seen a more outrageous performance”

Beckel’s performance is just an outrage in itself.

Obviously my memory has gone bad on the ‘57’ bit.

I recall the Austrian ‘language’ remark.

He was smart enough to become President - smart in the conniving, wheeling, dealing corrupt methodology of politics. Just not smart in world history.

I missed the dueling speeches but according to this drip piece Obama whined about inheriting a mess and blamed Bush blah blah blah...

He is a traitor playing partisan politics.

Read this garbage
