Just who is the President?
With Dick Cheney travelling on what is arguably the most important diplomatic trip of the year, should I be surprised that he doesn't check in? At all?
After Cheney meets with the Iraqi principles and seemingly staves off the imminent collapse of the Maliki government, after a meeting with the Saudi King asking for a substantial shift in policy, after the US and Iran agree to direct talks for the first time....
Cheney doesn't even check in with the President?
(I did find it incredibly odd that the Iran talks were announced and discussed almost exclusively by the VP's staff yesterday.)
I guess Bush was busy.
Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said that Cheney had not talked with President Bush during his tour, but would give the president a complete fill upon his return. Cheney was flying home to Washington Monday.

Looking at it from the other end of the tube, the President hasn't found interest enough to find out what Rasputin, er, Cheney is up to.
Hasn't the curtain been pulled back enough? Hasn't Bush been exposed for the fraud that he is... an abject failure of both character and leadership?

I just can't believe this.
Cheney is on what is arguably the most important diplomatic mission of Bush's presidency, and he's not interested.
It's almost proof that Bush has ceded the whole thing to Cheney.
It's not like Air Force Two isn't fully equipped with a complete redundant command center.
