My Comment: If there is one critic that bothers the Obama administration and their supporters the most .... it is former Vice President Dick Cheney.

But unfortunately for us .... there is zero possibility that any of his comments or opinions will be listened to or even acted upon by this administration for the simple reason that it is coming from him.
