Obama Extends Cheney's Secret Service Protection
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
There appears no end in sight for when Dick Cheney, a rare former vice president with Secret Service protection, will lose his security detail. Whispers has learned that the political battler's Secret Service protection has been extended, though there were no details on the length. We don't know why President Obama OK'd the extension, which must be approved by the commander in chief because former veeps typically don't get any Secret Service security after leaving office. But indications are that the threats against Cheney, who's working on his biography at his homes in Virginia and Maryland, haven't lessened since his term expired.

more slop in the trough for cheney
This disgusting hog has cost America far too much already; we are now supposed to protect him from the enemies he made while bilking our national coffers??
He is an evil glutton with no conscience or shred of patriotism...it's all about Dick.
Cheney can pay for his own protection with the phenomenal amounts of money he stole from US taxpayers via Haliburton!
Shame on you Obama!
The Terror Presidency
It's the people who need protection from Cheney, a so-called wolf in a culture of government corruption.
He was part of the Bush Terror Presidency and its predatory American Gestapo. They dangled the fear of terror over critic’s heads every time a whimper of dissent emerged over attempts to beef executive power.
They believe that the Terror Presidency oan do anything it likes, even if Congress, even if the Supreme Court says it couldn't. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/cheney/
Counsel David Addington threatened mass terror attacks to silence the DoJ when it questioned the legality of Bush's no-warrant domestic surveillance program. “We’re one bomb away from getting rid of that obnoxious [FISA] court,” cursed Addington

President Obama appears to be a false prophet now in cahoots. He calls George W. Bush the 'good guy'.
With all due respect,

I agree with Nietzsche girl
But, I do believe that the American People are paying for too much, have been for a long time and it's getting worse. I think Cheney should pay for his own security, he does have the money I am sure of it. The government needs to know that not all problems need not to be, (not solved by the people they do that whether we want them to or not), paid for by the people. Sometimes gov't and big corps should flip the bill themselves. And shame on us for allowing them to get away with soooo much and for sooo long! JUST SAY NO!!!
