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

Listening to Cheney speak is like eating steak after being force-fed Twinkies. Classic!

Lord, I wish Cheney were my President!I wish that he had been President the previous 2 terms. I think he's a very straight shooter (no hunting pun intended). He tells it like he sees it, he doesn't play political games and he doesn't beat around the bush.

We need people with Cheney’s intelligence and standing in the worst way...yet we have no one. Please, God, send someone who will lead us out of this quagmire that zero has led us in!

“It’s hard to imagine a worse president...”
Yes!! VP Cheney calls it like it is!!!! He’s sooooooo right, HolyO has been the worse president EVER!!!!

Heavenly Father, please send your angels to protect this man.

Nice little factoid that Barack ignores.

President Obama said today that the military detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has made America less safe. "Rather than keep us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security," he said. Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a critic of Obama's policies, is giving his view on Gitmo at this hour.

You forgot about the pirate rescue. /sarcasm
LOL! How careless of me...Yes, the boy POTUS has, in fact, made his bones! To bad that BHO is not likely listening carefully to the voice of experience and intelligence that is now addressing the AEI.
Cheney is presently giving good advice to the Rats and even tossing a bone to Panetta. Obama ignores these points at our nation's peril.

Cheney’s speech is nothing short of a badly needed spanking on Obama’s pompous ass.
