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 Cheneys 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.

Dick Cheney knew a Kenyan Born Dirt Ball had conned the American Public and Hated AMERICA!! Cheney knew how Corrupt and a Fraud OBOZO was,IS, and always will be!! Cheney will make sure OBOZO does NOT Damage Our Beloved United States!
I LIKE !!!!
LOL.
FNS should have a live show on Sunday with Cheney to refute the Biden LIES. That would be classic Television.
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.
Hahahaha..thanks for the late night chuckle. I wonder if Oboomba will attend any of the games..or is he still miffed that he was stood up, spoiled brat that he is.
Doesn’t CNN have a program that airs after the other alphabet networks?
My mom is a democrat and even SHE thinks Biden is a dope.
LOL. Ain’t it the truth. I love to listen to Cheney cut them off at the knees.LOL.
No they call him Darth Vader, cause he strikes fear in their hearts.
LOL. Good one: squirt gun to a gun fight. LOL.
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.
This is going to be like feeding Pat Kennedy to Zell Miller.
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.
Plugs Biden should stick to playing the part he does best....the village drunken idiot.

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

Well put.
“They are terrified of Cheney.”
I would say they are scared chitless.
WE know that Chaney will have all the Patriot support needed to prevent the MarxistKenyan from destroying our America!!!
I’m in!
