Wonder if he took any thing?

Chee knee had no problem taking tax dollars from these people to give to the elite war mongers.

From any angle Dick Cheney’s congressional voting record presents a clear window into who he is and has been throughout his public life. Rather than one possessed of a servant’s concern for the American people, he is a man apparently possessed by a startling but consistent contempt for senior citizens, for poor and needy Americans and their children, for desperate workers stripped of their only source of income, and for everyday Americans struggling to educate their children, put food on their tables, and maintain decent homes – in other words, for almost all of those he claims to serve.

How many other opinions did Candiate Graham flip flop on after he was re-elected?
Now, is this him “misleading” or “lieing”?

Does Gore still have security clearance? If not, when did he lose it?

It sure seems that way … Cheney as his own frontman means that no one else is willing to keep spewing the same lies for fear of personal liability.

Okay, I did not need to see “Cheney’s magic wand” and “Lindsay Graham’s Lips” in the same sentence …

It’s why he wanted his papers at the Archives, purportedly; so that he could have access while writing his memoirs.*

Isikoff … reported … Obama saying at last night’s conflab with … a small number of human rights groups that his decision on the photos was solely about ‘timing’, implying a future flip.

Of course it’s about timing, but it doesn’t imply any future “flip”.

For his decision to re-fight the release to result in suppression, two things would have to happen: Supreme Ct agrees to hear, and SC agrees to the govt’s ridiculous “new” argument for exemption.

They’re not likely to do both those things, so the move by Obama, which is almost certainly related to McChrystal’s confirmation hearings, as well as his new legalize-detention-without-trial proposal and soft-pedaling past torture generally, is all about buying time.

So has anyone asked Cheney what of the 530 Gitmo prisoners released without being charged? And 240 left, some speculate only a couple dozen really seriously worthy of facing charges. So better to torture or kill the innocent just to catch the “baddies” in the net.

Sounds like another drumbeat by Cheney and Mitch Mc. and Repubs is an anti-European sentiment. Obama trying to court European approval for sake of European approval. They don’t miss a trick.

Obama is starting to get beat up

Watching Obama Morph Into Dick Cheney
by Paul Craig Roberts, May 21, 2009
A despairing country elected a president who promised change. Americans arrived from every state to witness in bitter cold Obama’s swearing-in ceremony. The mall was packed in a way that it has never been for any other president.

The people’s good will toward Obama and the expectations they had for him were sufficient for Obama to end the gratuitous wars and enact major reforms. But Obama has deserted the people for the interests. He is relying on his non-threatening demeanor and rhetoric to convince the people that change is underway.

The change that we are witnessing is in Obama, not in policies. Obama is morphing into Dick Cheney.

Obama has not been in office four months and already a book could be written about his broken promises.

When he is saying that a truth commission, special prosecutor, prosecutions are off the table. WTF…who made Obama god?
