JoeF Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Cheney wants to fish Cheney makes it as official as you can 4 years out from an election year....no big surprise... I worked as a DoD beltway bandit (helping coordinate our security support to the Spanish National Police for the Barcelona Olympics) in the early 90's. I had some interface with the Secretary's office and worked with him planning a couple of events. I found him to be a kind and decent man--respected and loved by his staff. Not afraid to fight vehemently for his beliefs but always with an intense love of country and a willingness to listen, even to my more liberal views during our briefing meetings.

JoeF Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 In our very brief meetings and then in a conversation we had at a celebration welcoming the military athletes back from the 92 summer games--he reminded me of my dad. Great sense of humor, affable, but decisive and tough. When I think about 12 years ago, I judge the man by the couple of times I heard him talk about his kids.....This is a man who doesn't really need any of the stress, power or glory of his current job--I think he is doing it for true love of country. I am more anti-administration than pro, but I will always respect the Vice President.....and him being portrayed as he is most times in the media, doesn't mesh with what I viewed. No Dr. Evil or puppet strings that I saw--but then again I wasn't looking for them. His executive assistant at the time could have qualified as mini-me though--she was a few inches short of 5' if I recall....gave me an ego boost to "tower" over someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
