A common Democrat suggestion was that Cheney was the 'evil mastermind' behind Bush Also, Cheney has been successful in business at a high level, and
has recently made some extremely articulate and thoughtful speeches about the Bush Presidency and Obama's policies. Maybe 'frighteningly' was a
bit of hyperbole, but the man is quite smart.
Obama, though, promised his constituency the wrong things. He made a lot of promises (514, according to the Obameter (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/)), and now he's finding that some of them are
simply not possible, not worth pursuing, or downright harmful to America and her interests. Don't get me wrong- he's doing a good job keeping most of
his promises, but some, like this one, are just not happening. I predict we'll see a few more issues like this, where Obama has to quietly stop trying to
do things he said he'd do, over the next year or so.
It would be nice if the healthcare and 'stimulus' packages won't be among them, if only because it would save the country a choice between
inflation worse than the 1970s, taxation not seen since WW2, unsustainable debt/insolvency, and economic collapse. I'd like to see everybody have health
care, and I want to see the recession end, but this isn't the way to do either.
