Dick, Haven’t I already written a post about you? This one is about a week or two too late, but I have been kind of busy. I wrote a post titled “Cheney says Obama is Making America Less Safe?“. In this post, I was hacking on good ole Dick for criticizing Obama’s actions towards Gitmo. What I didn’t write about in that post was the complete and total absence of Dick Cheney for 8 years while being the vice president of the United States, then suddenly he comes out of hiding to tell us how the country needs to be ran? Think about how many times you saw him make a speech, or hold a press conference while he was in office? You can probably count them on 1 hand. However, in the last month or two, I have seen him on TV at least 7 different times trying to persuade the American people that we are being lead in the wrong direction.

Where did his new motivation come from? Maybe its because the Republican party is in shambles and needs a new leader after he and his buddy George W. disgraced the American White House with their terroristic tactics and antics to rule the world. After all, his biggest downfall was George W… Now there isn’t much to stop his rise to the top of the Right except for maybe Rush’s rear end.

I don’t think that is the case however. I think he is speaking out now because he can. Dick seems like a very intelligent man, and I get the feeling he didn’t put himself out in the spot light too much at the time because he knew the direction in which the White House and its administration was headed.
Instead he somewhat (as much as you can while being vice president) distanced himself from it all. Why you ask? Wait until our next presidential election. Cheney is going to be the front runner for the republican party. So I guess in a since, my first assumption was on target, but we all know what happens when someone assumes… It makes an ass out of u and me.

Also I thought it was rather amazing that Cheney completely flipped sides on the gay/lesbian marriage. I can’t find a clip for that, but he apparently believes in gay marriage now and said that all people should be free, not just some… Hmmm… He almost sounds like a liberal.
