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.
Is that his speech or that of his butch spouse?....
Fear-Mongering [Michael Rubin]
More live-blogging: Obama has repeatedly referred to fear-mongering. This grates on me. Analysts strive to be accurate and precise. The greatest handicap analysts face is projection: Assuming everyone in the world thinks like we do. Multiculturalism is more than drinking mojitos with our sushi, however. When partisans dismiss security concerns as fear-mongering, they are in effect displaying ignorance about the outside world. What one experiences in the cafes of Paris, the conference centers of London, or the beaches of Cancun is a sharp contrast to what one sees in southern Lebanon, the hills of Yemen, or the villages of Afghanistan. It is important to recognize that these threats exist. It is the ultimate arrogance to sit in Washington and simply dismiss as exaggeration any threats because from one’s own limited experience, they can’t fathom that Hezbollah seeks genocide, millions of Islamists seeks eradication of Western culture, or North Korea negotiates insincerely.

He just said he will do everything possible to defeat the terrorists....
BUT he just made clear he will NOT do that!
According to Pelosi, the intelligence organizations lie to Congress. Don’t trust the work of the FBI or CIA.
“Now he’s saying that he is going to release even more memos and that by doing this it will make us safer. “
Revenge for his loss.
Just suggestions, eh, Bar?
The Somali pirates got nuthin' on Barry.
Wrapping himself in the flag and sharing the responsibility for another attack with our men in uniform. I guess if it happens, they will share the blame. No questions.
You forgot about the pirate rescue. /sarcasm
oo Perfect! We need this on Big Billboards and Posters!
I was thinking the same thing. They’re feeding the prompter.
Got it!! Thank you!!
I love Dick Cheney!!! Woohoo!! Glad he is out there doing the talking!!!
This idiot just said My Admin will do everything to stop another terror attack on America after he just said he won’t use enhanced interrorgation techniques he won’t detainee people in Gitmo and he won’t do a bunch of things ...
I will do everything to keep america safe BUT I WON”T DO THAT>....
I don’t get it.... I guess this nuance is above my paygrade
and it will be our fault for not wanting the Gitmo guys, he will remind us he warned us.
Well he’s mocked the inerrancy of the Bible...
For the love of God, what the heck is he talking about with that?!!!!!
Here comes our guy!

Obama Won’t Back Down
On Intent to Close Gitmo
URGENT: In scathing attack on Bush administration, Obama pushes to close Guantanamo detainee facility, transfer some terror suspects to U.S. ‘supermax’ prisons
That' s the only reason I'm tolerating Oboma. I don't want to miss a minute of Cheney's speech.
This sissified, limp-wristed poseur turns my gut into jelly with his whistling psychobabble. He’s like a weak school principal trying to bring warring playground parties together with vague language that no one understands. Oh, NOW he’s talking about the “documents enshrined in this hall.” Is Sandy Burglar inside sneaking documents while Obama is providing cover? Those documents must be like some recent bills that were sneaked through Congress—no one read them, either.
He and the Dems are already positioning themselves to blame Bush or ANYONE but themselves for an attack. I guarantee that they probably have the blueprints already ready for such an event.
“and this is what peopel in Israel live with every day..”
Coming to a neighborhood near you. :(
