Quotes of the Day

• Mr. Obama may not want to admit it, but his success against al Qaeda owes more to Dick Cheney than it does to his own campaign agenda.
• Americans are safer because Dick Cheney was willing to be hated by all the right people.

Let's remember the hated Guantanamo still holds prisoners two and a half years after the Bush administration ended.
