Mr. Vice President: Silence is Golden.

Vice President Cheney: It is one matter to criticize the current administration on their rumblings of prosecuting CIA agents and other American heroes. It is quite another to second guess the President's action in a time of war. A lot of us thought it reckless when the Dems publicly second-guessed every action in Iraq and Afghanistan. The chorus of "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" grew stale real fast. More annoying was the certainty that most of the comments were purely political and would not have been leveled against a fellow party member.

Recall 1980. The Iranians held our embassy and a presidential election was underway on the home front. Ronald Reagan adamantly refused to politicize the hostage situation. He would deliver the canned line about supporting his President in whatever action he took. Reagan politicized everything else, of course, but the hostages were off-limits.

Meanwhile Ted Kennedy exploited the hostage situation. Kennedy lost the nomination to Carter and Carter lost to Reagan in the Fall. The lessons are obvious: One, Ronald Reagan had more class than Ted Kennedy . Two, the American people can distinguish between class and crass. Three, a political candidate need not politicize everything. Four, public fugures should exercise caution when criticizing their leaders during times of international conflict.

Your criticism is especially unwise because you had two terms to win this war. You did leave Obama with a mess. Try practicing the principles of Ronald Reagan on this particular issue. It's time to button your lip. Hold your peace. Let it go. Please let it go.

Mr. Vice President, show some class.

Giving Credit Where It Is Due

Kudos to the Obama Administration's decision to refrain from prosecuting medical marijuana users in states where usage is legal under state law. It is the only instance I can think of where the administration actually charted the course of lesser spending. As a fiscal conservative, I applaud this measure.

This particular issue brings to the fore the uneasy alliance between fiscal conservatives and social conservatives. When push comes to shove fiscal conservatives always get stabbed in the back by the GOP. Always. The GOP proves over and over again that they are almost as creative as the Dems in wasting your money. The same blunderbust who blasts fraud and waste will turn himself into a mindless cheerleader when the criminal justice system is involved. The Republicans take pride in their lesser reckless spending. "The GOP: Destroying Our Country Only Half As Fast As The Dems."

So I will summarize all that is praiseworthy about Obama. 1. He wasted those pirates on the high seas. 2. He stopped a blatant waste of tax dollars by curbing the DOJ henchmen.

If Obama does anything else praiseworthy, I will again give credit where credit is due.

The Nobel Prize Redux

I believe that the Nobel Peace Prize will be viewed as a turning point for Obama. It makes moderates and even some Obama supporters realize this guy has always received gross preferential treatment. Always. Always. Always. We stacked the Presidential deck for him. Why not stack every other prize for him as well? Why not splice together some news clips, call it a movie and hand him an Oscar? Why not edit his speeches, put it on a CD and give him a Grammy? He's on TV enough. Why not give him an Emmy for the best performance by a sitting president.

What is interesting about the Nobel selection is that even his most passionate ass kissers seem confused by this award. In desperate efforts to justify the award they often ilustrate Obama's vapidity better than his opponents do.

Case in point:

HUH?



This guy seems to be taken off-guard by the announcement so he attacks Republicans.

6:27 "HE SHOULD ASPIRE TO DESERVE IT."

THE AP CHIMES IN


This guy summarizes the sham.

BET THIS GUY WON'T BE INVITED TO OSLO

Head Gasket

I still have not resolved the head gasket/transportation problem. Giant sigh.

Mao-Maoing the Flack Catchers

I hate to echo material Glenn Beck has on his show with his mega-ratings. But if he is the only person exposing the truth...it's not like I can shop around at CNN or MSNBC. This is frightening.
