Deliberate attempt to pre empt Cheney. Ha ha ha ha....

[NautiNurse]

Did Hussein schedule his recently?

Yes, Cheney's speech was scheduled long before Obambi realized his Gitmo policy was crafted without full understanding of the consequences.

Of course, that won't stop the hollering of those suffering from CDS (Cheney Derangement Syndrome).

[McGruff]

President Barack Obama plans to say in his speech Thursday that the U.S. lost its way in fighting terrorism over the last eight years by failing to trust its institutions and values, according to an administration official.

To quote John McEnroe again, "You have got to be kidding me!"

The two were scheduled to speak at the same time, but Cheney has told AEI that he won’t start his speech until Obama is finished. His AEI audience will be able to watch the president’s speech live on a large television screen.

“When President Obama makes wise decisions, he deserves our support. When he mischaracterizes the decisions we made, he deserves an answer.” Cheney will say, according to excerpts of his comments released before the speech.

I think FOX will carry both

Fascinating photo. Cheney is looking straight through Obama there; he’s not impressed, while Bush looks like he is receiving Barak’s blessings in sheepish servitude.

[Evil Slayer]

Here's some other good ones....

[Free America52]

Late as usual. Probably wants to eat into Cheney’s time.

[Right Cal Gal]

I almost want to caption this:

“I could crush you like a worm, you little weasel.”
I love Dick Cheney. He got a double helping when the good Lord was handing out ba**s.

[True Republican Patriot]

ZERO HUSSEIN is taking a “WET SPITBALL” made out of Aregano and Cocaine to a “GUNFIGHT” and the Other Guy has Three Nuclear Carrier Groups at his Ready!

[Zakeet]

Bring on the debate.
