Cheney "wrong" on facts: Obama Mon Jun 1, 2009 7:39pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Monday struck back at one of his toughest critics, saying former Vice President Dick Cheney was wrong when he criticized White House plans to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.
"He also happens to be wrong. Last time, immediately after his speech, I think there was a fact check on his speech that didn't get a very good grade," Obama told NPR News.
Cheney has emerged as one of the toughest critics of Obama's handling of terrorism, as well as the staunchest defender of policies that former President George W. Bush implemented after the September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
In a blistering speech last month at the American Enterprise Institute, Bush's former vice president said Obama had jeopardized U.S. national security by deciding to close Guantanamo by January 2010.

Why did Obama open this can of worms again? Cheney just handed him his behind and now this is going to put him back in the news.
This guy is such a lightweight. He doesn’t understand the meaning of “gravitas” and he is still campaigning.
You think wrongly zero, but because you said on NPR it will be assumed as fact.
I hate this man.
Referring to a fact check is worth spit. Cheney was right, evidenced by the facts that Obama has been forced to continue most of the Cheney policies.
so you think Janet Napolitano has tracked down all our ips?
ZERO, you want trout with that milk.
This should be fun, since ZERO is the one who lies.
It was next to the fact checks on Obama didn’t want to run GM, Obama would be out of Iraq by now, Obama would attack Pakistan by now, Obama said there would be hiring immediately after the “stimulus” passed, Obama would release the photos, Obama would bring the terrorists here, Obama would stop the tribunals, Obama could not disown Rev Wright, Obama was/was not a good friend of Bill Ayers,
and on and on and on.
Geez, Obama everyone is wrong but you. Go crawl back under your sleezy rock.

” .. I think there was a fact check on his speech that didn’t get a very good grade.”
LOL! Prove it zerO. Publish it. I would like to see what VP Cheney was wrong about.
Guess it’s time for Cheney to rip him another one again.
BIGTIME!
The %&%$#'ing subject is NATIONAL SECURITY and you're quoting factcheck? The only thing missing from that remark is the word "Dude" at the end.
"Next question."
Quit hiding behind NPR. Take on Cheney (Mr. National Security) mano-a-mano, to his face.... if you have the sand!
Let’s get a fact check on the COLB 0be.
Obama told NPR......WHAT ?
lies to be repeated without details or Substance ?
CHENEY is Obama’s Darth Vader....A previous Project Manager critiquing a Failing new Project Manager.
Cheney doesn’t need a Teleprompter, he remembers the Facts.
I think there was a fact check on his speech that didn't get a very good grade," Obama told NPR News.
If I were even pretending to be President of the United States of America I would KNOW the facts and have the proof to back up whatever I said.
What a limp wristed lightweight!
