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 must be seething by now"

Early in Cheney's speech when he started a sentence by stating "I would offer this advice to the present administration..." - You had to know that the extreme-left Libs were going nuts.

Young conservatives who want to make a difference in the future through the politics/public policy should be sitting at the feet of VP Cheney and learning. He is wise, honest and loves this country and its citizens.

I believe either word would work in this sentence by Cheney:

................"It’s hard to imagine a worse precedent, filled with more possibilities for trouble and abuse, than to have an incoming administration criminalize the policy decisions of its predecessors. "............

I agree. And I think he knew exactly what he was doing. :-)

I'm kicking myself for not thinking to record this. I haven't enjoyed a speech this much in a looooooooong time.

The operative word is he is a “man”, an adult.

Obama is a child in a man’s suit.

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

My feelings also.
He better stay away from Fort Marcy Park.
He still has Secret Service Protection, doesn’t he?
God Bless Dick Cheney.

Okay, I’m back! :-)

It took a few minutes for the double decom (LOL!) because, my goodness, what a sewer it is over at the DUmp!

As you can probably guess, heads are exploding over there...lots of obscene uses of his first name, lots of ‘He’s planning another 9/11 attack to make Obama look bad’ kind of comments, ‘he should be on trial for war crimes’, ‘he’s telling the same old fearmongering stories about 9/11’, yada yada yada...
bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Counting down to WH/MSM sources claiming that HolyO ‘slammed’ Bush/Cheney’s admin policies and how Cheney’s health is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad in 3...2...1...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

I want this man (or someone darn close) in the Congress next year, and in the

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

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

That’s total idiotic nonsense. Good grief, Bush CAN’T speak out for any number of reasons.

HISTORIC SMACKDOWN IN PROGRESS!

Cheney: We sought to learn the terrorists' secret plans, rather than revealing our own plans to them.

Cheney is a great American Patriot. We have so few of these men of honor visible lately.

We saw two men speak today, one is a true patriot and continues to work for our security and the good of our country, the other works for power, political advantage, personal gain and perhaps the very destruction of our country.

Cheney is slicing and dicing the Long Legged Mac Daddy.

Thank God for Cheney.
