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.
TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; News/Current Events; War on Terror

I think he has it wrong on Gitmo. We need to keep it there,keep it open and prevent moving these people to institutions in the states.
Obama acts like the wars are over, does he not think we will capture more in the years to come?

Without VP Cheney speaking out,there would be no Obama speech today.
Obama is out there now trying to defend his actions, and not doing very well at it.
Thank you VP Cheney!

Now we’re on to : Runup to the Iraq War, Abu Ghraib, blah, blah, blah.
This is nothing more than a campaign speech which was dusted off and reloaded into TOTUS.

Obama is making no sense, as usual, because he presents himself as being on both sides of every issue. He often does it in one sentence or one paragraph.
It appears to me that the US has elected themselves a narcissistic lawyer - NOT a POTUS.

Anybody notice he scheduled his speech for the same time as Cheney’s, and the one’s speech is running way over? Is Dick waiting for him to get through?

Good advice, thanks. It is actually pretty sweat stained, I have thought about having it cleaned, not sure if I should. But bagging it is a good call; it is brim up, wouldn’t want to lose any good luck you know.

EXTREMELY ASTUTE! We HAVE to learn to read between and around the lines. Watch the other hand, while one is making gestures.
