Obama blasts critics
"It is not time for partisanship, it is time for citizenship," said President Obama during a 12-minute speech on the security lapses resulting from the Christmas bombing attempt aboard a Northwest Airlines jet in Michigan.
Without naming names, he clearly was aiming his latter comments at former Vice President Dick Cheney, who has found a way to criticize and lead a partisan wave of attacks against the president during a time of war.
It's too bad that we can't get back to what we had in the months after 9/11, a country that was working together, not trying to destory each other from within. I agree with Obama, but of course wonder if his words will have any impact.
Comments
Oh please. Dems from all over blasted Bush for years over Iraq and Afghanistan, saying we shouldn't be there ("Bush lied, people died" "An illegal war" "This war is lost" "the surge will not work (Obabma)" "the General Betray Us" add, which no leading dem criticized, etc, etc,. Cheney's criticism is that Obama and co are not being strong on defense. The dems' criticisms were completely different in character. Cheny and most Americans want to WIN. Obama can't even use the word. Only someone as arrogant and out of touch as Obama would complain after the years of deranged anti-Bush crap- that he himself was a part of. Cheny is right. Obama is making us less safe by the day (trying enemy combatants in civil court?!!!!). 2012 can't get here soon enough, Steve!
