OH THIS IS RICH

Dick Cheney by Gage Skidmore
Former Vice President Dick Cheney took a shot at President Barack Obama late Monday night after it was reported that the president has attended fewer than half of his daily intelligence briefings.

“If President Obama were participating in his intelligence briefings on a regular basis then perhaps he would understand why people are so offended at his efforts to take sole credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden,” Cheney told The Daily Caller in an email through a spokeswoman.

“Those who deserve the credit are the men and women in our military and intelligence communities who worked for many years to track him down. They are the ones who deserve the thanks of a grateful nation.”
Hey Dick.  When did President Obama claim that he took out Osama Bin Laden single-handedly?   Poor Dick and the Neocons.  This really sticks in their craws.  Bush probably doesn't care, because he said to Fred Barnes about Bin Laden, “I truly am not that concerned about him.”   

What good purpose was served by Dick Cheney and George Bush participating in the intelligence briefings on a regular basis if the two did not do a damned thing in response to the warnings of his intelligence and national security staff that a terrorist attack in the US by Osama Bin Laden might be imminent?

    2. Leonardo--Thanks but the compliment is undeserved. I don't quite have your gifts. You would have expressed that with a whole lot of charm and wit.

  2. Don't these people ever get tired of being offended? Actually he does have pulse. He had a heart transplant in May. The snark writes itself.

  3. I'm so relieved that Cheney and the Neocons are out of power, but don't think that they would not be a force in a Romney administration, pushing, pushing, pushing for an attack on Iran. The Republicans are bankrupt as far as nominating an acceptable candidate for president any time soon. The party is ruined.

    Fran, the man is well-named. I wonder how much his transplant cost the taxpayers - how much it's still costing us.

  4. Obviously the heart transplant didn't take.

  5. I posted the comment from my new smart phone, which is still too much for me. I had two teen boys and one pre-teen helping me, before I succeeded...twice. I'll delete one of mine.

    Russ, I'm still laughing at your comment.
