Bush didn't watch Cheney, Obama speeches
Source: CNN

So what did former President Bush think about President Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney's dueling speeches on national security policies Thursday?

A source close to Bush said the former president was traveling at the time, enroute to New Mexico where he is the keynote speaker Thursday night at a fund raising dinner for a scholarship program for students at Artesia High School.

2. Let's see...
Clinton: Envoy to Haiti, World Ambassador
Gore: Nobel Peace Prize, Emmy Winner, Champion for the Environment
Bush: Keynote speaker at Artesia High School

That's about right.

3. He's on vacation
It's his first love. The only reason Cheney is out there is because he's looking to polish his legacy before he dies of whatever terminal illness it is that he has.

5. Speaking at a high school fundraiser, eh?

11. Hey now, cut him some slack. At least it wasn't an elementary school.
Give him time though and he will be back to reading 'My Pet Goat' again.

17. To be fair
He is accustomed to others doing the reading, and watching for him and then telling him later what his reaction is supposed to be.

29. Why don't I believe him? Ok maybe he didn't watch them live but
I have trouble believing that he didn't watch all or part of taped videos or at the very least, read portions of the transcripts.
