Is This What You Had In Mind?
Many people on the left have been highly critical of those on the right for speaking out against President Obama. They seem to have forgotten their behavior over the course of the Bush Presidency, and all of the sudden they want people to look for the good in our President and overlook the bad. Well, be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Former Vice President Dick Cheney, in his first interview since undergoing major heart surgery, seemed rather kind to President Obama in talking about some of his policies.

What I found instead was actually quite surprising. There was a little more behind the false report than what initially appears on the surface. To understand why they got the story wrong, we must first understand how the story developed.
