Cheney 2012?

I understand that Dick Cheney is everyone's favorite boogeyman, but perhaps his ideas are being proven right as time goes on. Since President Obama took office in January, Cheney challenged Obama's assertions. Obama gladly fired back, but was quickly rebuffed about Afghanistan, surveillance, and Guantanamo Bay. Damaged, Obama backed off. Heck, even some people like the guy.

So now Cheney has increased his favorability ratings while damaging Obama's. But is he ready for the White House? Probably not. He'll be 71 in 2012.

But that won't stop his daughter.

Liz Cheney is organizing to challenge the Obama Administration. Her new political committee will be able to not only spread information, but support candidates, and raise money.

This group, Keep America Safe focuses on the issues regarding foreign policy. Its unabashedly pro-American point of view is refreshing in light of the Obama Administration's constant apologies.

Remember All the Talk About Cheney and Halliburton? Obama One-Ups Him

I don't know if any of us 'dumb' Republicans and conservatives can remember, but there was a large uproar regarding the United States giving no-contract bids to Halliburton, which just so happened to have been run by Vice President Dick Cheney.

Sounds fishy? Well, what was conveniently left out is that Cheney owned no stock in the company and that the company's gains wouldn't affect his income.

But what about Obama destroying the "culture of corruption" and making sure that special interests and lobbyists were not a part of the new Washington elite. Well, it appears that that rosy talk was just enough to get him elected. Now that he's in office, it doesn't seem as important.

Take chief adviser David Axelrod. A tough Chicago-type, Axelrod knows how to play hardball politically and financially.

Including landing a sweetheart deal between the White House and a company he just so happened to have been the head of. It also just so happened that Obama's campaign spent over $300 million last year with AKPD Message and Media in which Axelrod led and GMMB Campaign Group which just so happened to have Obama teammate Jim Margolis as a partner. During this time period might I add that Axelrod was the sole shareholder in AKPD!

I can see why you would want to have people you can trust involved in your public relations, but this is downright vulgar.

And now the two firms are profiting further from the Adminstration's health care push. True, Axelrod isn't involved with AKPD anymore, but that comes after his company made money hand over fist last year.

Most transparent administration? If Bush directly used campaign funds to give Halliburton $300 million while Cheney was still CEO, we'd never hear the end of it.
