In her latest attack on President Obama, she uses a "24" style commercial to go after President Obama and her perceived notion that he is "failing to protect America" and due to the "snappy little commercial" it will play for free on Faux news and other cable channels so her few dollars spent on producing this "web ad" made for her Keep America Safe website will get hundreds of thousands of dollars in "free play" as "news".
I know we have free speech in this nation, as much as it bothers her father. He spent the past 8 years using the "Bill of Rights" and the Constitution as toilet paper. He wire tapped all Americans phones and computers and is sifting thru all of it, as part of the Patriot Act. He is of the mind set that in order to protect us, he has to investigate all of us, to find the "needle in the haystack".
Dick and Liz Cheney have spent their days since January 20, 2009 attacking President Obama as a way of life. It does not matter what he does or how he does it, it is wrong. That is their assumption, but the facts just do NOT fit their agenda.
The Maersk Alabama, the President let the military (Navy Seals do their job) three dead hijackers and a freed freighter captain, the aplhabet agencies are doing their jobs, the death of the 7 CIA employees or contractors in Afghanistan, still searching for Osama Bin Ladin and Zawahiri (sic) the men who President Bush and Tricky Dick 2 let get away back in Dec 2001 from Tora Bora and then all but ignored when their attention turned to Saddam Hussein and Iraq.
We all now know Dicky Cheney wasted millions and millions of dollars building his own "bunker" at the Naval Observatory where the VP lives, a similar bunker that the President has under the White House, a virtual fortress with air filter systems in case of a nuclear, chemical or biological attack. He did not care how badly the neighbors were bothered by the explosives to dig into the bedrock during the construction of it, late at night and in the early morning hours, in his quest for his own personal safety.Then he yelled about it when VP Biden mentioned the fact that was already known, the bunker was under the house. He was accused of violating "national security" anyone would have to be an idiot not to have known about Cheney's "undisclosed location".
This is a man who got five deferrments to avoid military service during the war of his time "Vietnam", hell even I enlisted during the Vietnam war era. He doesn't mind sending other people's kids, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, etc off to war, but he had other priorities.
After 9/11 which he had to have known was coming, he had the same briefing President Bush did "Bin Ladin determined to strike in US" in August 2001, while they were all off on vacation. They ignored that until 9/12 and ever since, Dick Cheneys mission in life is to "protect America" why? He failed when it counted the most on 9/11. So he now lives to prevent it from ever happening again, exactly how is he going to do that, by turning America into a police state, where all movement is tracked by national intelligence, as they are now doing to our phones and computers, what more does he want, computer chips in people so they can track us all on giant computer boards with GPS devices?
If we live the way the Cheneys are proposing is this or will it still be the United States or would it become the "confined states of America" where everyone is suspicious of everyone else, will Dick be able to trust Liz, can a father trust their "child" can a spouse trust their partner? How far is our mistrust supposed to go, in the Cheney's America?
If this is what they are proposing then I say to hell with them, and anyone that continues to listen to them and support them, is as crazy as they are. Bat shit crazy does not begin to describe these people.
I trust President Obama to do all he can to protect my family and yours, hell this is the first time in my life that the federal government ever did a "review" of what went wrong, who did it, and how to fix it, in 2 weeks and went public with it, he took the blame and he laid it out, just like JFK did with the Bay of Pigs fiasco, I SALUTE President Obama for this, no passing the buck, he stopped that buck on his desk. I bet the next time someone in intell screws up they will be fired before they can say "I quit".
My son is enlisting in the Army this year, he graduates in May and will be in basic training in June and I am glad that he will serve under a Commander in Chief Obama, I trust this man a lot more than I ever trusted VP Cheney or President Bush, they never saw anything they couldn't blame on someone else, and they never took responsibility for their failures.
I agree with President Obama, we can NOT live under a siege mentality that the Cheney's are advocating, if we do then Osama Bin Ladin wins, he has changed America, is that what the Cheneys want, to hand victory to the "terrorists'?
