Live Thread: Obama vs. Cheney
Thursday, May 21, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/21/2009 7:11:47 AM PDT by kristinn

Obama goes first in a few minutes. He's speaking at the rotunda of the National Archives (you think we could get Nicholas Cage on that birth certificate thingey?) on his Gitmo policy and other man-caused calamities.

Vice President Cheney gets the rebuttal time. He's speaking at the American Enterprise Institute around 10:45 a.m. EDT.

I get a laugh out of the idea that Gitmo is a recruiting tool for AQ.

Maybe so and if it is then its probably so the terrorists could go to a tropical paradise and get fed well enough to get the average 20 lb Gitmo gain. Heck, I bet the Gitmo terrorists are living better than many Americans down on their luck.

It could be the picture of foreshadowing for the next four years. I will keep Cheney in my prayers. Conservatives need this type of action and words. McCain is incapable of what we are witnessing.

1. Cheney had a LOT to do with out foreign policy for the last 8 years. THere is something to be said for having a work horse taking care of the details.
2. This was all brought on by the selective release of Top Secret memos. I think VPDC would have been much happier to not have to discuss this at all because the program would still be TS and would still be active.

This ends up being the poorest scheduling in media history — for Obi...

Obi speaks.

Cheney follows with a scathing rebuke.

And Limbaugh will follow in about 7 minutes with 3 hours of additonal rebuke.

Poor Obi.

“Cheney: We sought to learn the terrorists’ secret plans, rather than revealing our own plans to them. “

And now we have Joe Biden:
Let me show you were the secret head quarters of the Vice President are....

Unfortunately, “classiness and the protocal of a proper vice-presidency” has a price.

THE designated deliverer of ALL Republican responses to ALL 0bama speeches should be Cheney. No one comes close.
