Should the VP Cheney have spoken out sooner?
The news is just really pushing the Cheney story. I think as the VP, he had the responsibility to let the president know immediately what had happened, and he just waited until the next day. In addition, the people of this nation should have known about this much sooner. Cheney is a blink away from being our president, and he has a duty to keep people informed of what's going on around him.
I'm also fed up with all the secrecy going on around him. This is just tiring. I get that he doesn't want to run for president, but as the veep, he still should maintain open channels with the country.
I guess I'm just a bit annoyed by everything that's happening in the world, and I just want to vent. The world is becoming a really scary place, and as Americans, we should be able to count on our leaders being frank. There should be some consequence for when they are just not being that way.
