Good answer by Gibbs on this one. Cheney needs to shut up. Whatever he says at his point won't justify a failed presidency

dick giving advise on warmaking is like W. writing a book on correct grammer ... or spelling... or enunciation...

Lets see - invaded the wrong country.... his cronnies companies stocks rose 400%, CEO/Halliburton made $46 mil in 2004in Iraq, while Halliburton LOST 1.8 billion TAXPAYER $, wanted for war crimes in 24 countries, took 1 year to convince the Army to send only half the troops needed into Iraq, leading to 12 billion in looting....

I have 25 videos up on dick...click my name!!!

I mean, sure, we believe him to have some level of ability, and I suppose that comes off as worship when we've had useless fucks of politicians for the last eight years (and mostly useless fucks still).

Still, you know someone's lost perspective when they read "I think he's competent" as "I think he's the chosen one."

[Fordi]

Also, gotta love how you use quotes around "chosen one" to imply that anyone in your opposition believes he is some kind of messiah.

Very clever manipulation of language, gotta give you that.

Glad to see Gibbs smack down Cheney - it's sickening to even see Cheney's face, much less see him get an award from the right-wing fear/war mongering crowd.

Cheney - your reputation can NEVER be repaired, so give it up, shut up and let the current President clean up you and you lying dog cohorts' many messes.

Disgusting hateful minded man.

Oh. Paul supporter.

Good to see people still think it's wise to speak on economics without understanding the various macroeconomic theories well enough to correctly calculate the growth rate for which fractional reserve compensates.

[MrProgressivelib]

Well, you got the "sh#@" part right. It took the libs 5 years of negativity to get the "chosen one" in office. As for my voting record, not that it's you business, Ron Paul in the primary, no vote in the general, as Ron Paul was not on the ballot in my state.

I have an "ronic nick" for satyrical purposes. Just having some fun on the internet. People take themselves too seriously. Both parties have contributed to screwing us is my overall point.

"I get it. You're not smart enough to refute things, so you resort to name-calling"

Really? I got that he doesn't feel that your substanceless arguments are worth addressing, despite being funny to think about.

Here's a hint: shit takes time, and there are a number of irons in the fire. Back the fuck off and watch the magic happen.

[Fordi]

Um. I don't know about most others, but I voted FOR Obama a hell of a lot more strongly than I voted against McCain.

And more strongly than I voted against Palin - despite that being pretty strong anyway.

But then, you don't care. You appear to havet a nice check coming in for posting in non sequiturs in support of your employer's agenda.

[Fordi]

I'm kinda curious, though: why do you have an ironic nick?

[Fordi]

Ah. Someone without the patience to deal with politics and bureaucracy. You'll go far with the progressives.

I love that it's somehow a taint on the guy's reputation that an overzealous committee in norway and their historically political prize decided to throw in a marker of support for him.

Collecting a Nobel Peace Prize was effortless. Obama didn't have to do a thing but win an election to get it, apparently. That's not to say he's done nothing, just nothing worth a Nobel prize.
