THE FIRST QUESTION IS, "WHY RESPOND TO A HAS BEEN UNDERLING?":

Obama criticizes Cheney's approach to terrorism in '60 Minutes' interview (Mark Silva, March 21, 2009, LA Times)

President Obama, rejecting former Vice President Dick Cheney's contention that he has put the nation at greater risk of terrorism, suggests in a "60 Minutes" interview that the previous administration's stance was an "advertisement for anti-American sentiment."

"How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney?" Obama asks. "It hasn't made us safer."

...the second is, "How much safer could we have been the past 7 years than 0 successful attacks?" A more secure leader would have just ignored Mr. Cheney's nattering. Kind of the way W ignored him whining about Scooter Libby.
