It's important to keep him alive to stand trial

[PhilipTaylor]

So true!

WON'T THAT BE A SWEET DAY?

[pledge16]

as sweet as watching nancy go to prison!

[damilitantone]

Obama's a better man than me, because Cheney would be left to his own devices.

[Patricia84]

and free to wreck havoc? he needs to be protected/watched.

[MJinCanada]

I think damilitantone meant, as in "open season."

Mind you, most liberal types don't do that sort of thing, but neoconservatives don't get it and they hide under the bed from imaginary threats.

[Waiting4Hope]

Well, they are related.

Barrack W. Obama, will do whatever it takes to protect the Bush's administration.

[pledge16]

He should,he is going to need the same protection when he is out of office.I really do have to teach you PHs everything!

[PhilipTaylor]

Have you reached your pledge yet for today?

After not being able to turn on a TV without seeing Cheney on the screen it seems that he has gone back into hiding (for his own security) or he has been told that he can only get 'protection' if he's a good boy and stays out of the limelight. Anybody else got an idea about the silence?? Or maybe it's just my TV!

[pledge16]

It might be that your head is empty.Or your tv is fixated on some channel that only you watch?

[gopSTEALSyourTAXmoney]

....a t.v. fixated...­....now that's something to ponder....

[sosi]

How can such one be protected from himself?

[squatmunkie]

Cheney owes President Obama a thank you. I hope he sends a letter thanking President O for keeping him safe.

[pledge16]

How about barry did it because he knows cheney kept him safe as well!

[gopSTEALSyourTAXmoney]

....'At The Copa'....'­Copa Cabana"...­.....that barry?

[gopSTEALSyourTAXmoney]

HURRY....L­ET THEM EXPIRE....­!

[RJII]

always decent, President Obama. Plus, i want Cheney al.ive and well for war tribunal.

[RJII]

war tribunal and prison

[pledge16]

Ditto for barry!

[PhilipTaylor]

On what ground?

[ramblingjohnny]

Probably to make sure he does not skip out of the country before he get serve!

[PhilipTaylor]

He would be perfectly safe in G1TM0!

[MNmommy]

O just trying to make sure that the far left don't get away with exhibiting what the far right has been demonstrating.

[tdtexas]

I agree with every word TXfemmom

[voltage356]

For some one like Cheney, who can shoot his friend in the face. I think Cheney needs to protect himself from himself.

[benglert01]

I thought he had a bunch of stormtroopers and a red lightsaber to protect him.

[pledge16]

And yet he protected you for 8 years I hope your children aren't as selfish as you!

[MNmommy]

He didn't protect any of us.

If anything, he created unparalleled h@te for Americans.

Most of us, recognize that.

[PeaceIsMyName]

This doesn't surprise me. Obama is resolute in protecting the criminal Bush administration and nothing will make him change his mind...exc­ept maybe not voting "Obama" in 2012.

Release the torture photographs, apply the rule of law, investigate the Bush administration, bring the wrongdoers and warmongers to justice! C'mon Obama!!

[pledge16]

What are the hufftowners going to do when barry is prosecuted for war crimes against the innocent people of pakistan?

[Expatslacker]

Refuse to believe it ever happened..­..pakistan­??? What???

[Interested Party]

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Obama in trying to pass legislation and ignoring the criminal wrong doing of the Bush administration, especially with illegal wiretapping now clearly shown as coming from his desk, is going to be a one-term president.

Gays who are pushing him and those Democrats who won't do the right thing, will soon find themselves with Repugs back in power in 2012. 2010 will see a turn-over of Congress and Senate to Repugs and Obama will have LOTS of time in his last 2 years to contemplate what he did wrong.....­sadly, so will the country.

No speech, no soaring oratory, no debate explanation will overcome the disillustioned former Obama supporter, who will simply stay home and not vote.

And yes I was a huge supporter, donated time and money but healthcare is not worth it, this makes you feel a little dirty.

[PeaceIsMyName]

Agreed.
