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.

Obambi makes what could be said in a 5 min. speech into an hour long speech - He thinks he is smart doing this!

[CheneyChick]

Shut up already. Someone please unplug TOTUS and turn off the lights.

FYI..I used to belong to the Temple in Riverdale that the terrorists tried to blo0w up. Indeed, My first father in law was president of the Congregation. I was married there. My parents lived aroudn the corner for 25 years..and this is what peopel in Israel live with every day..

[mewzilla]

Are the feeding the TOTUS while he’s still talking?! Sheesh.

[spectre]

45 minutes?

[tapatio]

I think BO is going to talk all day.

When you're full of $h!T,you have to get it out one way or another!

     B. Obama, “...it’s (the Constitution) is a flawed document....”

I'm sure he thinks likewise of The Bible.

Of course he does. Most people do.

Personally, I wholeheartedly agree about the Constitution. Most of the later Amendments are total crap.

[PerConPat]

Now he must make this political theater to respond to the criticism from the Left. He wants it both ways again

He is nothing more than a nitpicker who has not yet, thank God, had to respond to an unprecedented national security crisis. He is crusading with criticisms based on the hard work of those who confronted great peril. He has placed legalism above the common sense necessary for survival.

[TornadoAlley3]

schizophrenic

[Williams]

He just said the Constitution does NOT provide principles that can be applied pragmatically?????? It’s just a “compass”.

Does he know the people can amend it if needed?

Left wing ass.

[GOYAKLA]

Rove was on Fox earlier saying that Obama, hearing that Cheney was going to speak on this subject today, quickly scheduled this speech to jump in front of Cheney. ROVE “THE MAGNIFICENT BASTARD”

[Bronzy]

DOW -152

Why is it posted in color green? News speak?

[Girlene]

Is there a link to the speech???

Here's a link, Obama’s Speech on Detainees and National Security

[NordP]

Thanks for the belly laugh!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Amazing the loyalty he feels to the Gitmo terrorists.

Releasing our interrogation techniques to them, so as to render those techniques useless, was far more than that.

[cdchik123]

what an idiot. you’re not willing to keep us safe if you’re unwilling to put our national security above the terrorists feelings...

[concerned about politics]

DOW dropping as his speech goes on.

According to FOX this A.M., an average of one quarter of a million jobs are being lost each month.
The trillions spent were wasted on left wing special interest groups, and now there's going to be very few left to pay the bill.

Yes - It's Obomas fault. All of it.

[wpa_mikeb]

watch the dow continuously tank while he’s speaking

This man is crashing our economy and the media could care less.

[syriacus]

Obama lies.

I get a feeling he was planning this speech from the moment he heard Cheney was going to talk.

However, the MSM will act like Obama wrote this speech in ONE DAY.

[Rebelbase]

Holy carp! Zero just set it up for when another attack takes American lives, he can say “I told you so”.
