I think there was a fact check on his speech that didn't get a very good grade

Dude, debating Dick Cheyney is way above your pay grade

Thats my question too
anyone have this report?

White House aides said Obama was referring in the interview to a McClatchy Newspapers report which combed through Cheney’s speech and concluded it contained a number of “omissions, exaggerations and misstatements.”

What an idiot. Whether or not Cheney is right or wrong, Obama is the one with the bully pulpit. The issues Cheney is raising would gain very little broad coverage if he remained basically silent. He could even send his flying monkeys out to deal with Cheney.

By standing up himself to bash Cheney, all Obama's doing is pushing the debate further -- and it only hurts Obama.

That's the narcissist in him, of course. He can't abide anything that makes him look bad.

Somebody -- Cheney, or whoever is putting him up to it -- is pushing Obama's buttons like a master.

"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.

The Left does this habitually. Any criticism, no matter how valid and obvious, gets responded to with "oh, that's been debunked." The reference is always to a left-wing website, and the "debunking" may consist of nothing but pointing out syntax errors, but this hardly matters; the only important thing is the insistence that "that's been debunked."

The Left learned a long time ago that headlines and quick soundbites are all that matters.

LOL! That One is such a goober. Just WHO set Gitmo up, anyway, HIS people?

Cheney's been dealing with this issue for almost 8 years; methinks he knows what he's talking about.

Such a little boy for such a big job...Obama needs to grow up. This whiner-in-Chief needs to worry more about his job and less about revenge.

Thin skin Barry’s refuting “ facts “ via McClatchy are subjective.
And wimpy. And childish.
An interview that Mueller gave Vanity Fair .
The fact that Osama bin Laden is still at large.
Geez.

0bama’s sick ego couldn’t leave well enough alone. His god complex is overloading his self-glorifying brain cell. A smart man would take his beating and avoid another one.

I am so digging this! Of all the people from the past administration that I would like to see take after Oblahblah, Cheney would be my number one! And he is doing a GREAT job!

You go Dick! I cheer every time I see you paste that jerk in the ego.

It's HERE . There's a link to it in the Reuters piece.

By the way, there's a nice long piece in Commentary that blasts the Left's rickety statements to hell, HERE. "The Gitmo Myth and the Torture Canard." I'm sure Obama has read every word of this.

From the McClatchey Report:

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Oct. 5, 2005, that the Bush administration had admitted to her that it had mistakenly abducted a German citizen, Khaled Masri, from Macedonia in January 2004."

If they want to single out one or two among the 1200 to 1300 (counting Bagram), why don't they mention the guy who got an artificial leg at Gitmo, convinced his interrogators that he wasn't a terrorist, and then went back home to fight against us again, on his new prosthesis? He should be the poster boy, not Masri.

Why doesn’t BHO just release the documents and let US decide whether Cheney misstated any of the facts?!

"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,"...no specifics - usual vague, general charges with no backup - Obama lies again......

The only way the Obamaloon would know a “fact” is if his teleprompter told him.

He’s an idiot, pure and simple. A true investigation would pursue how this complete idiot ever got into law school, let alone graduated.

Since his undergrad degree is in underwater basket weaving, we know how he got that one.
