and quite honestly can not tolerate hearing the man’s voice. I’ll wait for the transcript to be published.

On the other hand, I did listen to Cheney’s speech. He was masterful in defending the policies and b”*&^ slapped the new adminstration’s dreadful policy decisions. Lets petition to draft him to be our 2012 nominee.

here

the people like the ACLU who helped get him elected are causing his administration a lot of work. Well of course he said it was Bush’s fault, but Obama keeps stretching out the Bush policies that he has criticized for two years and the ACLU and their comrades aren’t letting up.

Now the Constitution can have a shadow of THE NEW MESSIAH that will honor Him for all time!

Really, I’m with psyop_hic above…no matter how important the speech is, I just can’t stand the man’s voice and REFUSE to watch!! Sorry I missed Cheney’s speech, though.

BTW, Drudge has a link to this CNN story about Dick Cheney’s favorable ratings being on the rise!

obama cheney has creditability in keeping the United State safe, obama you don’t. your talk is just like catching a cup full of cow manure , warm but one stinking mess.
We will stand firm in our belief to.
HI HO OBAMA HAS TO GO
HI HO OBAMA HAS TO GO

I don’t think this qualifies as leadership. It doesn’t even qualify as manliness, perhaps a quaint term. Nor adulthood.

that only three terrorists were actually brought to trial since being jailed in Gitmo.

What I don’t hear in response is that Military Tribunals, in their past form, were ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. Then legislation had to be drawn up and voted on that was suitable for the SCOTUS.

All of this takes time and, in my opinion, is the reason why more terrorists have not been tried.

Democrats in the House Energy and Commerce Committee are trying to push through a monster 946-page ‘climate’ bill before Memorial Day. Since Republicans have the right to insist that this entire monstrosity be read out loud, Democrats on the committee have hired a speed-reader that can read the whole thing in about 9 hours.

This is an opportunity for us. Republicans should force the Dems’ hand and make the speed-reader read the whole bloody bill, and someone should record it. That audio would make a *perfect* background track for countless campaign commercials for Republicans everywhere.

If dems push throught Crap & Tax, then they shall reap what they sow.

Americans – Left, right, up or down will finally wake up when they get electric bills that are 2-3 times as high.

It will be shock & awe……

The democrats will have no excuse and no where to run if they cram this crap & tax down out throats.

Gates, sometime later:

The President did not missspeak. Many of my friends and close associates know me, off the record, as Billy Bob Gates, so I can see where some of you might have been confused. Next question?”

[Assuming he didn't block out April's numbers in his mind as one of the Bad Things.]

Have you ever taken note of how many times Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth? His speech today was full of contradictory comments. And, I like how he gave a speech in front of a replica of the Constitution in a hall where his voice could boom and echo like that of some kind of god. I’m not impressed at all. I’m one of many Americans who can see through his nonsense.

…….that our phony, narcissistic, sociopathic, unabashed lying president, who will not answer any questions concerning his citizenship, whether it be foreign-born or dual citizenship, both of which violate the beautiful Constitution that founded our great country (albeit on the second try!) while standing in front of the Constitution, says that the policy which kept us safe from Muslim attack for the last seven years besmirches our values, values which he does NOT adhere to, and abets terrorism (a term which has been outlawed in favor of “human caused events”) stands in front of a copy of the real constitution, one placed there by an obviously patriotic caretaker of the real document, so that the lights which will show the “president” actually cares about the document which he has vowed to “protect and defend, will not ruin the original. Obama has not ever protected nor defended this founding document during his 120 or so days as president of the United States. Ironic is a just term for the political games he ran today.

…is the fact that as he flaunts his adherence to the Constitution and respect for the rule of law, he exposes himself as a giant hypocrite to anyone who has the sophistication of thought to pick up on intellectually dishonesty.

In fact if you take his speech from yesterday and replace the references to terror with that of the economy one might confuse it with a seech rebuking his own domestic policies.

Actually I went a head and did just that…

contrasting Obama’s speech and Cheney’s:

“Judging forensics and rhetoric, it is clear that while President Obama came to make a speech, Vice President Cheney came to have a debate. The debater succeeded in making his points better than the speechmaker because while the President is justly celebrated for his vaunted eloquence, he phoned in his speech and thought that the use of pretty words alone would allow him to carry the day. Meanwhile, the Vice President–no one’s idea of a charismatic rock star–was forced to make up for his lack of a silver tongue by tightly and carefully constructing reasoned arguments to support his position. It should come as no surprise that the Vice President was quite persuasive and a force to be reckoned with in the debate.”
