White House ridicules Cheney over criticism of Obama

[lame54]

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration issued a scathing response on Monday to criticism from former Vice President Dick Cheney, calling him part of a "Republican cabal" and saying his economic advice should be ignored.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs used his daily briefing to ridicule Cheney, who said in a CNN interview that President Barack Obama's revamped policies on terrorism suspects would make the United States more vulnerable to attack.

"I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal," Gibbs said in a sarcastic tone, referring to the conservative radio talk-show host whom Obama's fellow Democrats have depicted as the new leader of the Republicans.

5. I love Obama! And all of his peeps too!

He/they keep giving me more and more to love every single day.

Yes, Cheney is a huge part of our current problems and he should be ignored/shunned by all, rat bastard that he is, scum sucking ne'er do well.

I was asked the other day how a client might get out ahead of erroneous and negative comments coming from a competitor. I said, I like how Obama does it.

"I know you've been hearing XYZ. Let me make this perfectly clear, it's not XYZ, it's ABC!"

Lay it out, set it straight, send it back. Love it!

7. This was the strongest I've ever

"Who Was The Bigger Dick?"
"cheney or john king?" Excellent question..

"To the surprise of no one, Dick Cheney's first post-long-national-nightmare-is-over interview was a recitation of his usual crap (although he did spice things up with a warning to America, along with a declaration of love for Rush Limbaugh).

So instead rehashing what Dick had to say, let's take a look at the performance by John King ... because let's face it; when an interview with the most controversial Vice President in history begins with:

President Obama urges absolute confidence in the struggling economy, but can the country afford his ambitious plans?

... you know that you're looking at an hour chock full of fair and balanced.

And leaving out the times King would state an Obama policy, with the question being, "is that how you see it," let's take a look at a few of the feet-charring moments Cheney faced:

"And after letting Cheney blather on about how torture works, and how it helped the Bush administration stop "a great many 9/11's" (although he couldn't tell King about them because then he'd have to kill him), King came back with this devastating follow-up:

Much more of our conversation with the former Vice President Dick Cheney ahead. What's life like after the vice presidency, and how's his health? We'll ask when our exclusive interview with Mr. Cheney continues in just a moment. Don't go anywhere."
