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 SO wish Dick would have challenged Obama to a one-on-one debate on this.

Thanks for the link. I just hope to God some Republicans will have a “come to Jesus” moment and grow a damn set.

Cheney just showed them some adult moves with intelligence and class.

Here’s hoping McCain, Graham and the rest of the wimps grow up fast.

Bob Beckel just called Cheney’s speech “slanderous”. What an idiot. He’s on the list of people that I want to punch upside the head.

Just finished watching Cheney . . . and listening. I’m very grateful to Cheney for doing this.

I didn’t “catch” Zero’s speech . . . so I can only imagine how badly Zero wishes he had called in sick today.

He is indeed that and I wish Bush would speak out as well. Obama needs to be smacked down. Cheney has fired a shot across the bow of the WH. If we are attacked again on the Homeland, you, Obama, will be held responsible and accountable.

Here comes Bob Beckel spinning the truth like a top and attacking Cheney for his ‘slanderous attacks’ on HolyO!

“Beckel calls Cheney’s speech slanderous.”

Coming from “one-state Bob” that’s the greatest of all compliments!
