Live Thread: Obama vs. Cheney

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.

Bob Beckel's face after VP Cheney's speech.

[top 2 toe red]

...and the check he wrote the hooker bounced!

I HATE that Fox gives that sack of $hit a voice to rave, lie and slander EVERYONE who is not a lying, slimy dimocrat!

[potlatch]

[One can hope.]

Yes.
I missed it all, was not on the forum nor watching TV! Now I have to play catch up on everything.

[Logic n' Reason]

I wish Cheney was President.

Certainly fun to imagine, but his heart never would have stood the strain.

And that brings to mind whom you think his VP choice would have been. Safe to say, it would not have been Palin.
Wonder who?

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Dick even looks cool on a Segway.

So true. I can just picture Obama on that thing.

[radu]

I’m hoping for it to show up on You Tube, too. I want to hear him again! LOL! Plus I an send that link out to the others I know.

Man, that was just priceless.

[pgkdan]

This is going to get really good very fast. God bless Dick Cheney!

God bless him indeed! Please Lord, keep him safe and healthy! He is the only Republican with the guts and the standing to stand up to this administration. Thanks You Mr. Vice President! Thank you!!

I have no earthly idea where this bufoon gets his facts or information, but he's dead wrong.

It's repeat speak from all the liberal talking points during their latest campaigns. It's bunk.

While Obama is SO worried about Gitmo prisoners who were ACTUAL terrorists, he's mulling over plans for Preventive Detention Laws for people who MIGHT be terrorists. Obama Is Said to Consider Preventive Detention Plan

The meaning of michelle....barf. I suppose the meaning is that if you whine enough that enough isn’t done for you, that enough people didn’t “reach out” to you, then you can make a lot out of it.

[ConfusedAndLovingIt]

This is beyond partisan politics. It is about our national security. Bush, as a citizen, has an obligation to speak up.

No, he doesn't. He has to carefully consider what is best for our country and our national security. In his specific case, the best interests of our country are served by him laying low.

Obama has attacked and blamed Bush from the day he took office. Sitting in silence not responding to this slander just acts as tacit approval that the charges are true.

This attacking and blaming is making Obama look like the lightweight that he is. Only the immature feel the need respond to every criticism directed at them. Democrats are hoping and praying that Pres. Bush responds so that they can make him the center of attention instead of Obama.

Talk about hate speech!

In nearly a thousand responses to this thread, not one has wished physical injury or death on HolyO or anyone else in congress etc.

Yet, here's some comments from the DUmp that would make Bill O'Reilly thrilled because of their hatefulness:

In a thread there entitled:
Did Anybody Get The Impression That After Cheney Finished His Speech He Was Going.......
to go somewhere and blow his brains out?

He had such a weak ending to this speech. Sounded like a deflating balloon and the end was the last gasp of air.

All he was doing was trying to justify 8 years of breaking the laws and shredding the Constitution.

This guy is pure and unadulterated 'evil'.

And did you get the comment - that he said the President authorized the 'torture'. (paraphrasing) I think he was trying to shift some the blame completely to Bush.

Despicable!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhh........
Your keyboard to God's ears, honey..............

I'd gladly loan him a gun, if I knew I'd get it back....
Wait, he's the great hunter - he must have a few guns at home.

I don't own a gun...
...but if I thought Cheney was gonna do that? I would go out and buy the lying SOB the biggest, nastiest gun I could find!

From all the wheezing and coughing he was doing,
I think the congestive heart failure is going to take care of it sooner rather that later. He appears short of breath, too. All symptoms of CHF.

Ahhhhhhhhhh...the smell of liberal tolerance in the morning!! The stench that would put a compost pile to shame!

Here’s the link to Darth Cheney’s speech. It was definitely worth copying and saving this gem.

People have said that they sometimes hear Rush say what has been written on a FR thread.

I think Rush channels me. LOL! He said he thought he was watching Fidel Castro:

He’s like a Hyde Park Hugo Chavez

I see a young Fidel Castro, and yes, I am old enough to remember his ‘patriotic’ speeches.

[meyer]

The libs ought to know that Cheney only shoots lawyers.

[pillut48]

his heart never would have stood the strain

I wonder how much of this is actually TRUE, and how much is just the MSM spin on VP Cheney's health conditions--maybe they never refuted it to keep hidden the fact that his health isn't as bad as the MSM has made it seem?

[radu]

You are a brave soul to spend any amount of time at the DUmp. They don’t make hazmat suits stout enough for me to take the chance over there. LOL!

Those are vile people, no doubt.

[devolve]

.

Yup

Obama was seething during his teleprompter reading

He cannot allow any dissent or anyone to oppose anything he says or does

His brain short-circuits and his face twists and his old “they are speading fear” BS comes spewing out.....

Barbara Boxer was on C-Spandex 2 sceaming about Vice President Dick Cheney criticizing Obama and also Boxer was saying Hussein/Iraq had been put ahead of going after bin Laden in Afghanistan

Note Boxer completely ignores the fact that GW Bush quickly entered Afghanistan and that Bill Clinton let Osama bin Laden go over 3 separate times when OBL could have been killed -

[pillut48]

Beckel was just trying to help VP Cheney by demonstrating for the world exactly what “feigned outrage” looks like, LOL! :-)
