The 10 punches that Dick Cheney landed on Barack Obama's jaw, page 8

Heres a documentary I found on Dick Cheney, its called Cheney's Law .

Synopsis:

"For three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power. Finally, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Justice Department and the White House made a number of controversial legal decisions. Orchestrated by Cheney and his lawyer David Addington, the department interpreted executive power in an expansive and extraordinary way, granting President George W. Bush the power to detain, interrogate, torture, wiretap and spy -- without congressional approval or judicial review."

Well, you aren't so bad yourself, even though you occasionally give in to attempts at liberal bashing, you seem to be knowledgeable, and generally try to back you opinions up with facts, which all too many do not. I try not to take things personal, and inject some humor when possible.

These points are off subject, so I will be brief.

Most do talk about the costs of nationalizing health care, as they point out regularly that we pay Far more for health care than any first world nation, and yet a huge percentage of our population has very limited access to health care.

The Gitmo problem can't just be magically solved, it is a very difficult thing, and I don't think anyone reasonable would expect that Obama can resolve this quickly. Obama is working on a plan to clean up this horrible mess left by GW/Cheney.

It is repub presidents who have borrowed future generations money to continue to be the world's only super power, and experiment with foolish free market concepts. ON this point you are way off base. $10 TRILLION PLUS in debt created by repub presidents, and you want to blame our debt on Obama? Seriously, you think that is rational, cause I think it is totally nuts. To attack Obama for deficit spending to revive our economy, which worked in WW II, after the huge un-necessary deficits created by repub presidents is pure hypocrisy.

Considering how badly GW/Cheney damaged the image of the U.S. as a nation, it will take a long time to see any results on the diplomatic front. This new situation with N. Korea will be an important test. Personally, I think Kim is just an attention freak, and a child in a man's body.

Very nice find, thanks for posting a link to this documentary. I rarely watch videos posted on here, as most of them seem more concerned with grabbing attention, and tend to be all fluff and no substance, but this video really goes at the heart of all that was wrong with the GW/Cheney admin.. These people were trying to take over our country.

Cheney is essentially the heir to Nixon, and Nixon's paranoid way of running the government, abuse of power, secrecy, and just plain dirty politics. I think this video is something everyone should see. Something needs to be done to publicly denounce the actions taken by Cheney in his abusive efforts to break the balance of power in Washington.

You have made some pretty good points.

I would like to add

Considering that most repubs completely oppose any reforms to our health care system, unless they benefit insurance companies, why should there be bipartisan agreement. While workers in the rest of the first world nations get nationalized health care, U.S. workers have to pay for it on their own, in the most expensive health care system in the world, which greatly increases the cost of labor in the U.S.. In addition to this, U.S. workers are also expected to pay for the biggest military, which eats up more money than all of our closest competitors combined. How are we supposed to compete while providing all of this corporate welfare that the repubs prefer?

And Counter

I agree Obama hasn't figured out how to clean up the Guantanamo Bay mess created by the GW/Cheney administration, BUT that doesn't change the fact that the GW/Cheney administration created this mess, which you want to ignore.

The Guantanamo Bay prison facilities is one of the greatest messes ever created by an executive administration, and its legacy will continue to haunt our country for decades, if not centuries. GW/Cheney administration can add it to their legacy of failure. Just because Obama can not wave a magic wand and make this mess go away, doesn't mean he deserve any of the blame for this mess, or any other mess created by the most incompetent administration in U.S. history, GW/Cheney administration.

I think we see things pretty much the same with out current state of the economy. I would add these points that I think all true conservatives should consider. The Fed Res is a private entity, not part of the government, but with considerable privileges granted by the government, which are loosely regulated by some congressional oversight. Gingrich and his fellow repubs de-regulated banking and investment after they took over in 95, and by 97, decreasing th ability of congress to have oversight of banking and investment. Shortly after deregulation we entered the tech market bubble followed by the real estate bubble, Enron, and a great many other scams that have lead us to our current predicament. It isn't government that has created this huge mess, it is private industry, specifically, the banking and investment industry.

The banking and investment industry created this mess, and they should pay for the costs of cleaning up this mess. Within a decade after the huge WW II deficit that was far greater than our current deficit, our government had gotten its financial house in order, bringing national debt down to a reasonable level. We did it then, we can do it now, and applying the same solutions would be the way to go.

The answer to Kim is to treat him like the child that he is, flatter him, stroke his ego, seduce him, and then one day he wakes up and finds out that he is no longer in power. China is already starting to turn their back on N Korea. The success of S Korea has obliterated any dream that communism is a valid system when it is compared to N Korea.

We can't put the nuclear genie back in the bottle. Our only answer is deterrent capabilities, and technology that prevents those who obtain nuclear weapons from ever delivering such devices. Investment in the space program is a good way to go. Greater technology is the answer.

the 11th and 12th punch

11) Bush: [ in a seemingly spontanious statement, a look of retardation contorting his facial features, then shifting to a look of perplexity]

“If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier... (Chuckles) (laughter) ...just so long as I'm the dictator.” (Laughter)


12) Cheney: [ (camera pans from left to right 15FPS, slowly zooming in, out of focus, zooming tight and coming to focus a face shot. Stop pan.
scene shot for facial expression during non-verbal script, voice overdub of thoughts unspoken, with heavy ambient reverb for added effect]

"If only that damn Congress hadn't repealed the Sedition Act of 1918, none of this S*&# would have been released. I wonder if I tell them otherwise, they will take my word for it...."
[ pause in overdub voice (4 seconds) ]
"Maybe if I invite those meddlers on a hunting trip I can shoot some sense into them."
[Evil grin manifests on face with noticeable supressed laughter body movements, drool begins oozing from mouth] [ lose focus, fade to black ]
