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.

“The missing 26 words that tell an inconvenient truth.”

Pwn’d

“Phony moralizing”.

Yes...The one and constant strategy of the Rat party...One voice this morning is that of an empty suit playing to the nickel seats; the other is that of a patriot with the experience and brilliance required to serve the nation well. Sadly, it's not clear that the majority of the American people have any more sense about national security than that which they apply to their personal finances.

Cheney calls attention to Obama's hypocrisy. I wonder how many will listen. Experience keeps a dear school.

“The silence of bush2 speaks volumes of his liberal weakness.”

He’s on board with McCain, Mitt, Jeb, ... and the other RINO’s, IMO.

Yes! Someone mentioned, yesterday, that there is a possibility of terrorists in prisons on US soil being able to control happenings both inside and outside the prisons. They don't need to escape in order to cause harm. Mob bosses and drug lords organize crimes from within prison.

And they have a better ability to threaten the families of the guards if the guards do not cooperate.

VP Cheney makes me remember how proud I am to be an American.

[ShandaLear]

INCONVENIENT TRUTH!!!

ROFL!

[khnyny]

Cheney is really fantastic. It’s apparent why this man has been so successful - he’s the real deal.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: “CHENEY GETS RESULTS!”

[Girlene]

And zer0 has only himself to blame for the timing and Cheney's opportunity to rebut a miserable, self-serving and factually-inaccurate speech immediately afterwards and on international tv.

LOL. Obama walked into that one.

[fml]

I know what you mean...he is fantastic.

[Sparko]

No fair bringing facts into this.
;)

[Big_Monkey]

That will be one of the most iconic pictures of Obama’s presidency.

[alarm rider]

“Bush should have been President Cheney’s ranch foreman”.

Amen to that Brother! Can I steal that for a future tag-line?

I said a President should never say never.VP Cheney just backed this up!

[kempster]

chrissy’s comment will be heard by only a few.

[paulycy]

0bama chose to speak prior to Cheney

Exactly what I meant. Had zer0 not inserted himself into the schedule then Cheney's speech may or may not have made C-SPAN at best. Now we have a historic battle of ideas. I LOVE IT!

GO, DICK, GO!!!

HISTORIC SMACKDOWN IN PROGRESS!

I wouln’t clean it. That’s Grandpa’s sweat there, and it’s just like the last time he took it off.

There’s a practical reason for storing brim-up. Over time you would find the weight of the crown will distort the brim, making re-shaping necessary (if it was a wearing hat).

[Servant of the Cross]

but Rush, Hannity, FoxNews, Wall Street Journal (Rove), Townhall, National Review, Weekly Standard, etc. will be all over it. All we need to do is to goad Kos, Huff, etc. into demanding 0_bama engage in the debate. They’re so deranged they think 0 would win such a debate.

[rintense]

I think he’s respecting the office by not doing what Clinton did to him. Plus, I think he’s sick of it all.
