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.
Sandy?!
Sandy?!
Anybody seen Sandy?
I have had the tv on for 5 mins...and I know he must of said Bush 50 times so far!
Cheney doesn’t even have to listen to Obama’s speech. Cheney alreayd knows what to do and say and how to do and say it. :) He thinks with his mind and not a teleprompter.
Wow..he is casting this in political and ideologocial parameters..NOT national security..
Now back on the tired talking points that Guantanamo made us less safe.
This entire “press conference”: I,I,I, bash Bush,I,I,I. Repeat.
What a load of crap.
Rasmussen: 75% Oppose Release of Guantanamo Inmates in the United States
I wonder if he wears a kind of contact lenses that force him to look down his nose at the prompter.
He is such a liar in every breath he takes that it would not surprise me to know that he needs contacts.
I think I agree with that, too...he's holding back something - that's for sure. I didn't get "sheepish" at all.
Yep, he is po’d & blaming everyone else no matter what words are coming out of his mouth
If you summarize everything he’s saying, it’s all about how smart and wonderful he is, and how lucky we are he’s in charge now. This guy defines a new category of narcissism. Good God, how embarrassing.
First reaction to Obama speech [Michael Rubin]
A bit of live-blogging. It’s one thing to speak of an extremist ideology, but refusal to name that ideology belies the seriousness with which we should face the threat. And it’s one thing to praise the re-energization of the nuclear non-proliferation regime, but this too has become a mockery, as North Korea and Iran show every single day.
The basic issue which Obama is dancing around is whether terrorism is a police issue or a military issue. The difference is stark: If a police issue, in reality we deal with the threat after the ‘crime’ has occurred. If a military issue, we address preemptively.
The moral contrast argument is a diversion. We are a nation of laws, a nation of law for U.S. citizens and those on U.S. soil. Trying to apply U.S. law or even international law to those to whom they were never meant to apply undercuts security and undercuts the status of law. Ted Lapkin explains well, here. What Obama in effect does is take away any incentive for terrorists to adhere to rule of law.
“Our conscience”?? Do people who support baby killing even have a conscience?
Absolutely. This Nancy Pelosiish. Playing to the extreme left instead of the rest of America. He's kicked up a notch and Cheney (and hopefully others) need to respond in kind.
Last time I went to the Archives, Photography was prohibited as to not destroy the documents. All the lights required for live TV are blinding. What is that doing to the documents, hmm destroying them. How ironic.
Note to Barry: Keep diggin’, pard...
I can’t wait to hear what Reid has to say..
To hear Obama say that we must “adhere to the rule of law” is particularly grating, offensive, and disingenuous, considering how he has demonstrated a complete disregard for sections of the Constitution when he finds it convenient to do so.
I simply can’t believe the words that i hear coming out of this man’s mouth. How can you possibly think that the Bush policies against terror have been “ineffective” when we have not been hit since 9/11???!!!
What the hell have you Obamunists done?? Is there any doubt as to why there is no ammunition to be had besides birdshot in any sporting goods store in the Nation??
Keep in mind that the Second Amendment exists to protect us from the Government, not the other way around....
Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, et al will shred him over this one...
He’s having a snit fit on national tv. What an embarrassment.
