Cheney: Obama wants 'massive expansion' of Federal Government


www.politico.com
Vice President Cheney charged Sunday morning that President Obama is using the recession “justify” what is probably the largest expansion of federal authority “in the history of the Republic.” “I worry a lot that they’re using the current set of economic difficulties to try to justify a massive expansion in the government, and much more authority for the government over the private sector,” Cheney said in his interview. “I don’t think that’s good, or going to solve the problem.”

Or maybe he is more evil than what Bush and co is/was.

There are always two way you can go.

Cheney is expressing his concerns because of all his preferred stock he has recently gained when he finished up his tenure as VP.

He could very easily get wiped out financially like everyone else if Obama is successful at obtaining his "vision".

Exactly. Just be glad that him and the rest of the Bush admin are no longer in power.

Bush and his cronies screwed things up SO MUCH and he has the nerve to actually say he is worried Obama is going to screw things up? HELLO!!!

This is reality cheney. Time to join us here on planet Earth!

The bush Admin was one of the worst in US history and the problems of the last 8 years were caused and influenced largely by the Bush Admin.

Dick Cheney you make me sick. You always have. Anyone who actually thinks that Cheney has any shred of credibility needs to look around and see what has really been happening.

It is no coincidence that the country has gone to hell over the past 8 years the bush admin was in power.

granted I do not know just what Obama can do to fix this but having a democrat in office is atleast a step in the right direction for now.

Certain republicans need to take these next 4-8 years to remember what true republicans believe.

Things are so messed up due to the last 8 years of termoil that I doubt there will be a full fix in 4 years and mabye not even 8. But I think if we quit playing the political game and get moving actually trying to fix this place we will actually accomplish something.

Politicians need to quit playing the blame game and need to quit playing the political game. That game is getting old and needs to stop. It is time to play. LETS FIX the country. That is not a game that Cheney and the former admin wants to play though so it is great that they are out of office.

Now we can start making progress.

and FYI to anyone who believe that the country has been made safer by the Bush Admins stripping of civil liberties and invasions of privacy. IT HAS NOT! It has only hurt us. It has only deminished the constitution and the bill of rights and that is a real shame.

Lets get back to actually following the rules and not trying to find loop holes so you can get around all kinds of laws that are in place to keep from destroying the country.

lets get on with it, and quit playing this politics game.

Doesnt the fix the country and make progress game sound like a fun game? I think so.

TO whom it may concern, In 2000 my views were more republican, but after the past 8 years I realized just how ludacris things have been going and some where around 2004-2005 My views started moving more and more to the left. There is a reason for that. and that reason has been stated numerous times in my post.

Rant over. If you read this whole thing...Congratulations.

As much as it makes me want to PUKE for agreeing with anything that vile man has to say he is right. It is happening as we speak or has already happened. There is an article in the WSJ about Obama and co giving the "privately owned By foreign bankers" federal reserve the power to take over our system when they see fit.

clipppyyyy

The Obama administration, moving with increasing speed, has inked the main contours of its plan to revamp financial-market oversight -- changes that will ripple through the economy, affecting everything from the operations of international banks to consumer protection.

The principles include giving the Federal Reserve new powers that include authority to monitor and address broad risks across the economy, say people familiar with the matter. The proposals are expected to include tougher capital requirements for big banks and authority for regulators to take over a large financial firm that is failing.
"We want to accelerate the pace of change on the reform agenda," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in an interview after a meeting of the Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers over the weekend. Mr. Geithner was pressed for action on the regulatory front at the meeting, held just outside London. The administration's goal is to unveil its proposals before G-20 heads of state meet April 2, to wrest leadership of the thorny topic.

RIPPLE THROUGH THE ECONOMY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! Am I the only one who see's where this is going?
