Obama & Dick Cheney: Blinkmanship

"My single most important responsibility as President is to keep the American people safe. That is the first thing that I think about when I wake up in the morning. It is the last thing that I think about when I go to sleep at night." - Barack Obama sounding like the Voice Of God in an artfully chosen echo chamber - the cavernous lobby of National Archives.

It was back-to-back live spin from Obama and former veep Dick Cheney on terrorists, torture, and closing Guantanamo Bay.

Karl Rove on how Obama's campaign promises are coming back to haunt him.

  1. Obama comes off like Robo Cop. Chaney like the well schoioled professor. Who will you believe?

  2. I think President Obama really does worry about our safety. Unfortunately, he keeps sucking up to a base which worries not a whit about that, but which devoutly believes that the U.S. is an evil country which deserves humiliation and yes, a few domestic casualties for all or our hubris. Barry is gonna have to decide pretty soon if he wants to be President of the United States or Poster Boy at Move-On.
