WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration issued a scathing response on Monday to criticism from former Vice President Dick Cheney, calling him part of a "Republican cabal" and saying his economic advice should be ignored.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs used his daily briefing to ridicule Cheney, who said in a CNN interview that President Barack Obama's revamped policies on terrorism suspects would make the United States more vulnerable to attack.
"I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal," Gibbs said in a sarcastic tone, referring to the conservative radio talk-show host whom Obama's fellow Democrats have depicted as the new leader of the Republicans.

Soon after taking office on January 20, Obama started rolling back some of Republican predecessor George W. Bush's most divisive national security policies.
He ordered the closing within a year of the internationally condemned Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba and an end to harsh interrogation of terrorism suspects held there.
"The president has made quite clear that keeping the American people safe and secure is the most serious job that he has each and every day," Gibbs said in defending Obama's decisions.
Cheney, who under Bush became one of the most powerful vice presidents, had championed tough interrogation methods implemented after the September 11 attacks of 2001, and was also an architect of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
"He is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack," Cheney, in Sunday's interview, said of Obama.
Gibbs pushed back hard on that point. "For seven-plus years, the very perpetrators that the vice president says he's concerned about weren't brought to justice," he said.
"The president in the very first week of his administration chose to change that, to take ... these that had committed terrorist acts, and to finally bring about, instituting a process to bring about swift and certain justice," he added.
Asked about Cheney's suggestion that the White House was trying to take advantage of the economic crisis to expand government, Gibbs said, "I think not taking economic advice from Dick Cheney would be maybe the best possible outcome of yesterday's interview.":142smilie
Asked whether his caustic tone in responding to Cheney was proper, Gibbs said, "Sometimes I ask forgiveness rather than for permission ... I hope my sarcasm didn't mask the seriousness of the answer

more to the point--along with Russia you NK rattling sabres again-Iran couldn't wait to try to fire theirs-China balking on buy more U.S. debt and Hilliary begging them--
anyone remember what Biden said about this no quaification/experienced--"prophet"--
"And here's the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's gonna have to make some really tough - I don't know what the decision's gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's gonna happen. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate.

yeah..we need to throw more money at education...we`re spending a bundle now($9336 per student per year as of a few years ago...and it`s gone up quite a bit since then)....
it doesn`t go to the children anyway...it goes to the teacher`s unions...
he won`t do anything,dead.....fagedda 'bout it.... he's too tired from trying to fix bush's economic mess to pay attention to foreign affairs:SIB .......he`ll just sell out poland & the czech republic, to make his russian bomber situation go away....
i hope when the time comes,that bock at least holds out for some tough conditions when we finally surrender...
btw..the `cuse is a gritty bunch of mofos,ain`t they?.....whoa...you`d think they`d be gassed...
It's better to throw more money at war. There's more profit in war than education. Better education won't make republicunts richer.
True. But spending more money on the NEA won't make anyone better educated. Most public schools are run/taught by people like Box and One - functional illiterates who hate learning like cats hate water. They want more money not for better education but because they want more money.
Partisan morons, who needs 'em?
I'm disappointed in you, RAYMOND. Can't believe you mean that.
I'm afraid he wants many of us dead.
