If that happened, I think Ozero would melt.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Now Obama says he is “bound by the law.” The truth is he picks the laws he wants to be bound by.

[Carley]

We see how he followed the law when he negated legal contracts in favor of his union buddies.

"President Barack Obama plans to say in his speech Thursday that the U.S. lost its way in fighting terrorism over the last eight years by failing to trust its institutions and values, according to an administration official."

"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT GETTING STUCK ON STUPID!"

[ken5050]

He just mentioned Osama..first time since the election....didn’t he promise to get him ?...

[Sparko]

“I have to honest here” - Obama

When someone says that toward the end of a speech, you always wonder how much he lied in all the previous minutes or hours.

[mewzilla]

If he doesn’t wear them that the upraised chin is just Mussolini, etc redux.

LOL. Or he could be a bifocal-wearing better-than-thou. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive :)

BBC: “The US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay has weakened national security and served as a rallying call for enemies, President Barack Obama has said.”

Q: What would Churchill do?

[syriacus]

I would like to see how Obama reacts to a court ruling that he has improperly seized assets of Chrysler creditors?

Me, too.

[wombtotomb]

I would feel a little more comfortable in a world where, the rule of law, the PEOPLE have spoken would be used instead of the courts......

[Carley]

I was never so happy to have the phone ring. Two really important calls. I just love those robo calls, I listened to the entire message.

LOL

[grobdriver]

I trust it’s in a hat bag, stored brim up...

[Girlene]

Here is the text for both speeches:

Obama’s Speech on Detainees and National Security

Text of Cheney's AEI Speech

[sirjohn]

He really gets mad when he is defeated. Almost whining now.

[mewzilla]

He just mentioned Osama..first time since the election....didn’t he promise to get him ?...

For what? Man caused disasters? Snort.

[ladyvet]

Exactly! These scumbags go after the families. This man-child needs to be sent packing.

[maica]

LOL!

[CheneyChick]

Yep, another video clip for the “Lie to Me” library.

[Bender2]

Re: Here in Texas where we wear those things, you can still tell a lot about a man from his hat.

From one hat wearing Texan...

to another, damn straight!

I agree... completely!

[ShandaLear]

Yammer, yammer, yammer. This is nothing but spin and double-talk.
