Cheney: Obama Will "Appreciate" Our Expansion Of Power

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/15/cheney-obama-will-appreci_n_151229.html



In an interview with Rush Limbaugh (via Politico), Vice President Dick Cheney predicted that the next president will appreciate the way he and George Bush expanded executive power.

"Once they get here and they're faced with the same problems we deal with every day, then they will appreciate some of the things we've put in place," Cheney said.

"We did not exceed our constitutional authority, as some have suggested," Cheney added. "The President believes, I believe very deeply, in a strong executive, and I think that's essential in this day and age. And I think the Obama administration is not likely to cede that authority back to the Congress. I think they'll find that given a challenge they face, they'll need all the authority they can muster."

Cheney went on to express doubt that President Obama would, as he has promised, close Guantanamo Bay.

7. wow an interview between Rush and Cheney
a real battle of the minds. I enjoy the facing the same problems. He won't face the same problems. Cheney's problem was how to deal with the prosperity generated during the Clinton years, Obama's problem is how to deal with the absolute despair generated during the Bush years.

Wah-wah
I don't need no wah-wah
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free from the wah-wah
I don't need no wah-wah
