7. There's a scary thought.

Yeah, I can see Cheney pulling that kind of crap. Something I've noticed over the years - if you get into a fight with people who think you're an inferior life-form, they'll do almost anything to take you down. Obama is liberal and black, so of course he's inferior, and he has no right to be President. :sarcasm: I don't doubt that the hard-core Republicans, like Cheney, see Obama as a threat.
