Plus Cheney did not travel to another country to trash talk his own country and political leaders as many of the democrats, including obama, have done.

I think  Axelrod's right- Cheney, if he wants to remain relevant, should try to be as statesman-like as the new Prez... you know, like in the frat-boy photo ops at the G20... or as he knelt in defference to an Arab leader... or as he wagged his finger at North Korea before asking the UN what to do... or as he recycled his campaign speeches to the non-electorate in Europe... or as he convinced the Dutch PM to apologize to his bread-and-butter, Muslim extremists...

Come on Cheney! Have some dignity, why dontcha! 

How about former President Jim-meh Codder?

JC openly and loudly smeared the Bush Administration from one corner of the world to the other.  That's why they gave him the Nobel Prize. 

He's right...Cheney should get a clue!

A true statesman is one who can read from a teleprompter while gazing over the heads of his audience (Oh, I forgot....that' where the teleprompter IS!!)

A true statesman is one who is not only willing, but eager, to confess the "faults" of his country,  to foreign leaders and citizens.

A true statesman is one who is able to boldly lie, saying that he is against a certain course of action, even as he takes steps in that direction; and to say that he is doing one thing, as he blatantly does another.

They might say "Wow, that sucks!"  But at least they'll say "Wow!"  -Duff Goldman, the Ace of Cakes

If obama were an American I would get really ticked off when he trash talked my beautiful country. 

But it's just water off of a ducks back when this screw-up speaks anything.  Keep him over there, they love him, he loves them, it's a match made in hell.

Axelrod has the idiotic assumption that being statesman-like is just shutting up about everything.

Axelrod is just POed that Cheney had the nerve to say something negative about Obama.  That is against the rules.  You aren't suppose to speak ill of The One.

Obambie is a puppet

Looks about as good as Tom Friedman's...or Dr. Phil's.

Very 70s/80s.  Although I'm sure if Michelle grew one (and I have zero doubts she could), they'd quickly become the "in thing" according to the media: "Bare arms and a mustache! She just oozes confidence."

With apologies to those who like them / wear them.  

Let's not forget the merdivorous Jimmy Carter. What he has been doing for the last twenty years actually makes Al Gore look statesmanlike. Carter made a little reported evening visit to the White House in March; no one knows what for. God help us if the Bamster takes counsel from him.

Over 2000 years ago is one of the greatest examples of betrayal of one's nation by a king. That was by naivity but Comrade Obama's is consciencious.

Envoys From Babylon

    12 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of Hezekiah's illness. 13 Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold, the spices and the fine oil—his armory and everything found among his treasures. There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.

    14 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, "What did those men say, and where did they come from?"
       "From a distant land," Hezekiah replied. "They came from Babylon."

    15 The prophet asked, "What did they see in your palace?"
       "They saw everything in my palace," Hezekiah said. "There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them."

    16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD: 17 The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. 18 And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."

There's Gore, then J Carter.. but for straight treasonous sounding talk.. Democratic Representative Dennis Kucinich takes the cake. He's in the same boat with Danny Glover, Sean Penn, Harry Belefonte, Alex Baldwin, etc., but Kucinich is a sitting US congressman.

In this Sep't 2007 (I'm sure that most of us remember this) clip, Kucinich is appearing on State run Syrian TV. He refers to "his Excellency" Assad, in the most glowing terms - that he should be "respected and appreciated," while providing the viewer with enough hate of the US to fuel suicide bombers for generations to come. He claims, 1,642 days into the Iraq War, that a million innocent Iraqi civilians have been killed; a number which would require that 609 civilians would have died each and every day since the March, 2003 start of the war to free Iraq. Of course I've never seen a single news account of that many Iraqi civilians dying in a single day - well, not since the days of Saddam.

Remarkable that they keep goading those who didn't vote Democrat.  I can't see their rhetoric as being anything other than inflammatory and dangerous.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
