Talk Is Cheap

All over the news talk show circuit today and this week were Republicans bemoaning their losses through criticism of the progress of the Obama Administration their first 50 days in office. From former Vice President Dick Cheney to Senator (former Republican presidential candidate who lost to President Barack Obama) John McCain they are making as negative as possible comments to any news personality that they happen upon. If the talk show will have them, or the host will review them, these two men in particular are ready, willing and able to throw aspersions at President Obama and his administration with little or no provocation.

Does this bother me? Didn't I really expect this of them both? Yes...and, yes. I am bothered by people who have done so much to harm us (such as has Cheney the eight years he was calling the shots behind the scene). He has the audacity to say that President Obama's tacits are making us Americans, less safe. He's got the gall to say this when it was his president's administration in 2001, when former president George W. Bush in his inaugural speech damned us when he told every nation that was not our allies, every nation that was not wealthy and who might need our support and/or help that America was not going to continue to give handouts. That those nations would have to look elsewhere or fend for themselves because the nation of the "free lunch" has closed up the lunch counter. Personally, I knew then (and told any who would humor me) that we were doomed. That someone would blow us to hell and back before the year was out. Essentially, someone did...3 months before the year was out. And, Cheney had his hands in it all...up to his elbows, at that. His ego, his lies, his duplicity, dishonesty, and dishonor almost destroyed us--The American People and America.

For now, I'm taking 5. More on today's mess with John King (with whom I've also got a bone to pick) tomorrow. Have a great Sunday, and a wonderful Monday. We're on spring break...so I most definitely will!!
