Vice President Joe Biden's appearances on two Sunday morning talk shows this week are part of a White House strategy to both pre-empt and potentially respond to former Vice President Dick Cheney's interview on ABC's "This Week," where administration officials expect he'll continue to advance his sharp critique of President Obama's record on national security.
Cheney has been one of the strongest critics of Obama's handling of national security and foreign policy issues, and his interview comes amid an intense debate over the administration's handling of the accused Christmas Day bomber and the trial of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
After Cheney's interview was announced Thursday, the White House lined up Biden for NBC's "Meet the Press" and CBS's "Face the Nation."
Sunday's VP vs. VP lineup is a first, and the closest Biden and Cheney have come to an actual debate.
The pre-emptive part of the programming starts with "Meet the Press." Biden is scheduled to tape his "Meet" interview with David Gregory on Saturday evening from Vancouver. A White House official said that in the segment Biden will make the case for how aggressive the Obama administration has been in taking on al Qaeda.
An excerpt of Biden's interview will be released later Saturday evening under an embargo that will lift just as Cheney’s live sit-down with Jonathan Karl begins Sunday at 9 a.m. If Biden doesn't watch the interview from his perch in Vancouver, the official said, the vice president will most certainly be informed on what his predecessor says by someone who does.
Then at 10:30, Biden will be interviewed live by Bob Scheiffer on "Face the Nation," giving the vice president a chance to directly reply to whatever charges his predecessor had leveled earlier in the morning.

They could give Biden 10 hours before and after and he would be no match with Cheney.
This is good we need VP Biden to talk as much as possible
So true!
Sort of like a gnat attacking a 747.
Sure. Cheney is not a Muslim, but Bin Laden is. Obama is a Muslim sympathizer, let’s face it.
Thank you for posting that!
Cheney vs Biden...
*chuckle*...no...*evil chuckle*
Just remember that Plugs will be doing the interviews from Vancouver...where he has been dispatched to lay claim to any and all medals the US may win, as ‘successes’ of the Obama Adminstration. Any US defeats, obviously will be attributed to the former training period during the 8 years of Bush’s ‘non-support of the athletes.’
Cheney’s in their OODA loop.
A rebuttal by Biden....LOL.
That’s like bringing a squirt gun to a gun fight at OK coral.
LOL.

I’ll say ... doofus vs Darth Vader.
What’s pathetic is that millions of
indifferent Americans will believe
his lies, as the media emphasizes
the fallacious image of our great
VP as dark and evil.
WH is trying to be too cute by half.
Cheney can go to FNC anytime he wants and FNC gets all the viewers.
Countering Cheney with Biden is like countering Mike Tyson with Richard Simmons.
Its Einstein debating a Brainless Rock!! Biden is a dimwitted Fool who they tried to do Brain Transplants disguised as Hair Plugs! Vice President Cheney is a Truly Great American Leader, Patriot and HERO telling the Truth to AMERICANS about how their National Security is being trashed by Corrupted, Decayed and Lying Wantabe Despots!!
Just ask O’Reilly to defend NOT demanding OBOZO UNLOCK HIS PAST!! ALL OF HIS FREAKIN PAST!! OBOZO is a COMPULSIVE LIAR and CON-ARTIST!! and the Media is Enabling His Con-Job!!
PUTIN knows the Dark Secrets and so do the Chinese as well as most of Our Other Enemies of AMERICA!!
Remember that Jefferson said AMERICA’S Most Dangerous Enemies will be those Within Our Gates!
Biden is the butt and the rebutt of a joke.
They are putting a Brainless, Pickled Rock in front of Millions to defend themselves against a Great American leader and Hero! DICK CHENEY for PRESIDENT in 12!
I thought they were outlawing the clubbing of baby seals on public television?
No?
You just keep tellin’ it like it is, Cheney! The White House has declared war on America, and unfortunately for them, we’re not the idiots they take us for. We know history, we know our Constitution, and we know a Trojan horse when we see one!
Biden vs Cheney? Captain Gaffe to the rescue? Biden has proven to be a liability and now he is the point person to defend the Narcissist in Chief’s poof handing of national security? This is like sending a knife fighter to a gun fight......Cheney won’t even have to study......
OBOZO is a COMPULSIVE LIAR and CON-ARTIST!!
