Cheney Vs. Obama

There's no actual information in this posting. I didn't see Obama vs. Cheney, today's showdown. But it's really annoying that Cheney is still around yakking it up. When you're out of office, go away. Especially since you didn't do anything any good while you were in.

I did hear a snippet of it on the news -- like about two sentences. Cheney was saying something about the Clinton years, them treating terrorist attacks like a law enforcement issue and responding to it after the fact.

Boy, oh, boy, do we have to spell it out to you, you ignorant old man. 9/11? Huh? It happened on your watch. You did nothing about it "before the fact." But boy, oh, boy, did you exploit it "after the fact!"

It's my contention that the Bush administration was thrilled to death with 9/11, which is borne out simply by the way they did in fact exploit it to the very hilt. They ran with 9/11 and that's all they talked about for the next six or seven years. We couldn't do anything normal, thanks to 9/11 and the Bush administration exploiting it, throwing it in our face at every turn.

I do agree if life gives you lemons to make lemonade. And that's what they did.

It was their incompetence and neglect that allowed 9/11 to happen. But they were sure competent and attentive when it came to milking it for all it was worth. The whole thing is tainted now as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to any more 9/11 memorial services, lest I see Bush and Cheney there crying crocodile tears and soaking in the applause.

These guys were scum. Criminals. Cheney should go away. He should be locked up, honestly.
