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.

Obama wants input from the public. The public doesn’t want detainees transferred to mainland US.

I don't know, sound a lot like Nixon and Clinton after their hands were caught in the cookie jar. But this guy just got walloped in the House. He is a baby, possibly overly emotional, possibly dangerous indecision during times of stress.

He just put all of his eggs in the basket that America will not be hit by another terror attack.

Shame because what can he possibly say on that day.

And, sadly... Photobucket only a one-holer between them!

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?

It appears so. foxnews.com running live feed from Cheney AEI venue

I wonder if Obama’s teleprompter got an advance copy of Cheney’s speech so the One could pre-but it?

Likely so. They were probably late so they could fine-tune their "message". I just heard a soundbite on the radio that was telling about the speech. The soundbyte said that Obama is doing this to clean up "the mess" that was left to his administration. Since I'm not listening to the speech, did he actually say that?

He refers to the mess at Gitmo.

He wants to bring that so called mess to a city near you.

God help us all.

TOTUS loves the limelight.

TOTUS has a lot to say today. While TOTUS is bloviating, TOTUS can not also simultaneously sign more legislation that erodes our nation. Let us rejoice and be glad.

Has Obama blamed Gitmo on the CIA yet? “They lied to me, etc.”

Very much so. He really does see himself as the worlds savior.
Notice how he keeps his chin up so high, he has to look down on those who are worshiping him.

According to the live feed Cheney has not appeared at the podium and the press appears to be bored with watching Obamas speech and having to wait for Cheney to appear.

You are absolutely right. This speech is nothing more than a temper tantrum.

I have thought for a while that the bigger political fight will be between the Dems in Congress and Obama. That this will be their undoing. I don't think the Dems in the House and Senate want to be sidelined by this President and they must be hearing a lot of noise from their constituents.

He is self-destructing. The cracks are beginning to show. The veneer is thick but it’s obvious.

A big screen has been set up in the small room, where the Obama speech will be piped into the Cheney audience.

Cheney’s speech will immediately follow Obama’s.

EXCELLENT PLAY!
