Osama bin Laden Not Found in National Security Adviser's Speech

Dick Cheney: strong-willed and unrestrained, self-righteous, opinionated but not hampered by reality, sincere but ethically-challenged, powerful by default. Troublesome characteristics in a VP, but cataclysmic when the President is ineffective. I'm sorry to say I voted for Bush/Cheney twice. My apologies. Bush won't go down as the worst president of all time, but he'll make the top 15. Believe it or not, there were much worse (e.g., James Buchanan who facilitated the Civil War by looking the other way as the South spread slavery). Bush/Cheney (emphasis on Cheney) make the top 5 worst of the last 100 years, in my opinion. Eisenhower, notwithstanding his weak civil rights record, would be a good model for Republicans to check out if they want to survive as a party. The single-handed destruction of a political party may be what Bush/Cheney is most remembered for.
