GOP Wonder Twins Attack! Dick Cheney and Newt Gingrich Attack The Handshake!

[Median Democrat]

The Republicans are apparently deluded enough to think that by simply criticizing everything the President does, and refusing to offer any alternatives, they can win Congress in 2010.

On NBC's "Today" show, Gingich warned, "Everywhere in Latin America, enemies of America are going to use the picture of Chavez smiling and being with the president as proof that Chavez is now legitimate that he is acceptable."

UPDATE: Former Vice President Dick Cheney is piling on, saying he "didn't think much" of the hand clasp.

"I mean, I've seen Hugo Chavez in operation before, and Daniel Ortega down in Nicaragua. These are people who operate in our hemisphere, but who don't believe in and aren't supportive of basic fundamental principles and policies that most of us in this hemisphere adhere to,” Cheney says in an interview airing tonight on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" show.

1. As Obama said at his Presser. The American people had a clear choice on this

They knew his position on Foreign Policy and they knew McCain and the Republicans. And they picked him.

So I personally would like Obama to come out and say kiss my ass

4. and it's working ...... kinda ..........

... today my boss, who only has a passing interests in politics, asked me "I heard Obama apologized for shaking hands with that guy, who was he?"

She said that all she was a crawl at the bottom of the screen which I can only assume was Fox.

I told her to just completely block Fox news from her channel listings.

I would hope that one day these people would wake up but until they do, don't waste too much time on them.
