Obama Laughs At Cheney's Remarks On British Pullout

Barack Obama, on tour in Austin,Texas, took a few jabs at Dick ' the hunter ' Cheney over Cheney's remark that Britain's troop pullout of Iraq was a good sign and fit right in with the plan to stabilize the country.

   Obama, after saying the British pullout was in recognition that the Iraq problems cannot be solved by military might, said,

"Now if Tony Blair can understand that, then why can't George Bush and Dick Cheney understand that? In fact, Dick Cheney said this is all part of the plan (and) it was a good thing that Tony Blair was withdrawing, even as the administration is preparing to put 20,000 more of our young men and women in.

"Now, keep in mind, this is the same guy that said we'd be greeted as liberators, the same guy that said that we're in the last throes. I'm sure he forecast sun today. When Dick Cheney says it's a good thing, you know that you've probably got some big problems."

  I'll give Obama that much! He isn't afraid to say what is on his mind and he doesn't worry about how he say it. Some of our other contenders for president and all of our senators and reps. should learn to do the same.

   The Republicans are sitting ducks at this time. Now if the Democrats would learn to point and shoot!
