W.H. Counters Cheney With Biden (Unprecedented Before/After Interviews on Sunday Shows)
Politico ^ | Friday, February 12, 2010 | Carol E. Lee

Posted on 02/12/2010 7:38:18 PM PST by kristinn

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.

Biden will LIE about anything Cheney says.

FNS should have a live show on Sunday with Cheney to refute the Biden LIES. That would be classic Television.

Does anyone find it odd that this administration is so hypersensitive about individuals who share a different opinion?

In all seriousness, it's a level of insecurity that is borderline clinical.

We had whats her name wanting things reported that didn't agree with their agenda. While they viewed it as a “lie”, it was clear not every statement of disagreement was based on untruths.

Fox News seems to bother them. Their reactions, both direct and implied, to Palin, rival that of the average 4th grader. And now Cheney.

I simply would enjoy being on some pristine mountain stream in waders with Dick, as we tied an appropriate dry fly, appropriately, to match the hatch... spend a few hours of mild soft talk about many issues that have gone down over the past twenty years plus, where he had my honest hand shake I would keep my lips sealed. Of course we would both wear our black beaver hats. Mine was purchased back in 1982 in Jackson Hole when I skied the deep powder gazing out at the roof of the world Grand Tetons from the top of Jackson Hole Ski area.
The man has substance. It is that simple. The man, he that day quickly touched hands with, has none. He is a zero.

I would love to see Cheney as president. He is the reason I voted for GWB. However, I would be afraid of the strain on his heart. He had an exploratory committee (I think it was 1992 but not sure), but it kinda fizzled out.

Good grief!

Lieberman, Edwards and now Biden?

They are the Washington Generals of Democratic Vice Presidents going up against Meadowlark Cheney.

You always know how it will end.

He’s not good at anything else, and certainly no match for Cheney.
