Cheney DARES Obama "You Need To Sit Down & Find Out Precisely What It Is We Did & How We Did It"
Edited on Thu Jan-08-09 08:42 PM by kpete
"If I had advice to give, it would be, before you start to implement your campaign rhetoric, you need to sit down and find out precisely what it is we did and how we did it, because it is going to be vital to keeping the nation safe and secure in the years ahead," Mr. Cheney told Mark Knoller of CBS Radio. "And it would be a tragedy if they threw over those policies simply because they had campaigned against them."

1. See, even Cheney want's Obama to investigate the admin.
I hope that they do look very closely and apply the appropriate laws to their findings.

3. That might be the first time I've ever agreed with cheney....
Why *don't* we all sit down with a specially tasked investigator - some might call him or her a "prosecutor" (but what's in a name, really?) - and find out EXACTLY what you all did, and EXACTLY how you all did it.

That's like the best idea I've heard all day, in fact.

26. Love your post
Edited on Thu Jan-08-09 10:19 PM by butlerd
Agree with you 100%!!!!!

The best part about it is that Cheney ASKED Obama to do it! *rubbing hands gleefully* I do so hope that Obama takes him up on it!

:evilgrin:


Oh, and this little gem:

"And it would be a tragedy if they threw over those policies simply because they had campaigned against them."

Cheney, what else would you expect? :wtf:......just........:wtf:

5. And the admistration is so forthcoming with infomation
Right? Right. What's he suggesting, a whodoneit scenario or a "Where's Waldo? game. God he's a creep.


Actually the only information this administration was clear with were the lies they told. Lied and didn't care who knew it. Still doesn't

7. Cheney thinks they covered their tracks by
destroying as much evidence as possible.
I think RICO charges should be applied to bush, cheney,gonzo, and everyone on down to the freakin dog catcher, Halliburton, Blackwater, triple canopee, kbr, abramoff, delay, and many many more, right down to nc senator burr and dole.

6. Why is Cheney such a terrible person? Seriously, why?
I was listening to someone on one of the talk shows today say that behavior such as his is addictive - the caller was a substance abuse counselor, and he said that people like Cheney were addicted to power and money and influence (I'm paraphrasing) and that they masked their innate low self esteem with $3000 suits. But what caused Cheney to be this way? By all accounts, he's been given many opportunities most of us never saw, was popular in high school, and has succeeded at least according to his standards. So why does he continue on this path? I don't get it.

19. I've often wondered what it is like..
to see the world through these people's eyes. I can't imagine, when they wake up in the morning, what that world looks like. People have been behaving like Cheney as long as we have inhabited the earth. I guess something happens in that bubble of unbridled power and prestige. Maybe it's like a new car, and you have to see how fast it will go.

9. I'm hoping that the Bush administration leaves enough documents
(including e-mails and legal memos) to allow the Obama administration (especially the DOJustice) to find out, as Cheney suggests, everything that Bush, Cheney and their cohorts did -- all of it. I can't wait to see it all put out there for everyone to see.

21. Yes, Obama should find out what they did and how they did it.
And then turn around and do the exact opposite.

32. you know, Mr. Cheney -- I normally wouldn't follow through with one of your requests ...
But I would make an exception this time. And I hope President-elect Obama does exactly that!
