Cheney has some harsh words for the Obama administration.

Quote:

He ripped what he termed a "horrible precedent" to have an incoming administration "criminalize" the policies of its predecessor.

"I would advise the administration to think carefully about the course ahead," Cheney warned.

I think it's funny that the man didn't have an opinion about anything for 8 years, and now he can't keep his mouth shut.

I love that Cheney seems determined to keep the Bush administration in the spotlight for as long as possible. Thanks, old man!

I am wary about applying to this thread given the title. That being said, Ash, you're not the first to notice this:

For 8 years, he was a Vice President with no intention of running for President himself. His statements had to reflect the policies of the President. Presumably, he "spoke up" at meetings to influence that policy, but would not be a front-man for whatever policies resulted.

Now, he's freed up to say what he wants and is doing so. That he happens to be making very salient points is just icing on the cake really...

When the W administration was continually attacked by the Dems they didn't want to demean the office of the presidency by addressing bs attacks. Now that he's not in the WH anymore he can defend himself against the same attacks.

I also like how all Obama can do is attack W's policies while doing the exact same things with new terminology.

If this were true, Cheney would have spent his time saying what a great president Obama is for following the **** Cheney Guide to National Security.

Because people who've had their policies stolen and renamed should be grateful to the thiefs; who incidentally are calling the originators of said all kinds of names?

So now the only reason Cheney is (justifiably, according to you) criticizing the Obama administration is because "he copied off of me and called me a big meanie head?"

That's not Cheney's criticisms.

I suppose you might be arguing that, according to Cheney, doing the "exact same thing" but calling it something else is what's putting our nation in great peril.
