Does Cheney have some 'dirt' on Obama that none of us know about?

[Kablooie]

Obama is suddenly supporting all the secrecy of the Bush years and ignoring their crimes.
He's also been reversing previous decisions about releasing torture pictures and info.
And Cheney is suddenly out in front of the public touting all his old policies.

Is it reasonable that Obama feels that ignoring crimes of the past and preventing the transparency he was so supportive of until recently is best for the future of the country?

Or is there another explanation?

Could Cheney's secret wiretaps have exposed some hidden skeleton in Obama's closet that no one
else knows about?

It's beginning to sound like Obama might be under Cheney's thumb, a terrifying thought.

All this is beginning to make me suspicious.

1. No.

[960]

2. Um, no. There is a reason that Obama won, and it's not because BFF has dirt on him...

[leftofthedial]

3. certainly cheney seems to weild far more influence throughout DC than seem natural

:shrug:

[Political Tiger]

4. He has proof that Obama is really not a US citizen.

NOT!

[countingbluecars]

5. Good one!

[DJ13]

6. If 'I' was secretly wiretapping Congress

I can think of no one I'd want to tap more than a Senator from the opposing party running for President.

[Politicalboi]

21. And if Obama didn't know

That he may be tapped by then, then had no business being in the Senate. Even we here knew about the wiretapping years ago.

7. If he was under Cheney's thumb, then there'd be no reason for Cheney to be on TV all the time.

Defending himself. Right?

[EFerrari]

8. The two things are not related except that Cheney is an opportunistic f#ck

who would use his own mother any day to get his way.

[Sanity Claws]

9. I think it's the other way around

I think Obama has something on Cheney and Cheney knows it. That's why Cheney is doing so many interviews and having his daughter shill for him. Do you really think Cheney would be doing so much talking if he didn't feel scared?

[TwilightZone]

10. Dart, meet target.

Bullseye.

[myrna minx]

12. I agree with you. n/t

[Optical.Catalyst]

22. There is probably a Grand Jury investigating Dick Cheney

Cheney is more than likely trying to get evidence made public to protect himself from the Grand Jury.

11. Please nt

13. You're living in fantasyland.

Releasing the torture memos? Stripping down military tribunals from 600 to 20? Banning torture by executive order?

[Aviation Pro]

14. No, what the President has is, wait for it, delay that gratification.....

...an almost unheard amount of patience and discipline.

Which given DU is so goddamn rare it's almost a super power.

[bigwillq]

15. I don't think dirt has dirt on Obama.

Maybe I am wrong but I don't agree with you. I think it's the other way around. Obama is such a calculating politician (and an honestly moral one) that I don't think Obama would've ran for the highest office in the land if someone had "dirt" on him.

16. The USA is 100% dependent on Empire...

Didn't use to be, but we are now.

Without the Empire, we are a basket-case debtor nation in need of IMF restructuring.

[stillcool]

18. Who does our military work for?

certainly not the people of this country. Has it been co-opted by some cabal of industry titans? It is one issue that is never discussed with any kind of truth. Even those that speak out talk about 'nation building'. Is that code for something? I don't understand how something that effects every possible issue facing society can be so verboten.

[Junkdrawer]

23. Want to know why there's so many "wild conspiracy theories"?

We're divorced from reality. The difference between the stated reasons for war and the on-the-ground truth is so stark everyone is fishing about for some explanation.

The best one-hour talk on this I know is Nafeez Ahmed's ˜Creating terror"

25. Thanks..I'll have to check it out......

I agree about the conspiracy theories. When there is no truth, everything is possible. I often go to third world traveler, and read articles there to gain some perspective, but still.. what can you believe?

17. Obama's style has ALWAYS been to let someone else be the bad guy.

Let the impartial judiciary or Congress be the bad guys.

Cheney is going down no matter what - we don't really need Obama's handprints on the rope.

[merh]

19. OMG - you are right, Cheney must have the "whitey" video

:wow:


:sarcasm:



I believe there will be an investigation and prosecutions. I just think that for some, it isn't happening fast enough.

[Politicalboi]

20. Maybe The Dick

Has his REAL birth certificate. :rofl:

[mitchum]

24. He knows that Obama has two children who he loves very much
