The Obama-Cheney speech match you probably didn’t hear about
…unless you check out news from the UK, of course.
The spectacle of two duelling speeches with a mile of each other in downtown Washington was extraordinary. I was at the Cheney event and watched Obama’s address on a big screen beside the empty lectern that the former veep stepped behind barely two minutes after his adversary had finished.
So who won the fight? (it’s hard to use anything other than a martial or pugilistic metaphor). Well, most people are on either one side or the other of this issue and I doubt today will have prompted many to switch sides.
But the very fact that Obama chose to schedule his speech (Cheney’s was announced first) at exactly the same time as the former veep was a sign of some weakness.
Yep, sure was. Read the rest of the article for the author’s take on, “The 10 punches Dick Cheney landed on Barak Obama’s jaw.”
