Cheney is a problem – but Bush is at fault

There seems to be an ever increasing chorus of voices that believe Cheney is on his way out. Whether it is because of health reasons, his increasing negatives with the public, or his rising ineffectiveness in achieving results, the trend seems to be evident.

While his departure cannot come a moment to soon, it will take years to repair the corrosive impact his presence has had on America and the world community. Forcefully implementing a radical policy of American imperialism abroad and his own brownshirt fascism domestically, he is a true human stain - surely to be regarded as despotic by history.

The reason that people have to endure Cheney's negative effects is not only a total abdication of responsibility towards America by Bush but also his amoral acquiescence in allowing Cheney's infectious policies to spread throughout the nation.

Bush had the power to stop Cheney and he didn't. Bush wanted the job of President, but he has acted like he had the job of official observer and cue card reader. He bears total blame for the horrific lasting effects Cheney has caused.
