The Bush administration appears split on Barack Obama.
Dick Cheney, of course, knows where he stands: He thinks the new president is hurting our national security. His old boss, George W. Bush, may or may not disagree, but he’s keeping mum — the former president said this month that he won’t publicly criticize the new commander in chief. And Condoleezza Rice is siding with Dubya.
Appearing on "The Tonight Show" last night, Ms. Rice told Jay Leno she has no interest in slinging mud at Obama. In fact, she’s obviously quite confident in his administration’s abilities. Or thinks highly of the group, at least.
And I agree with the president. We owe them our loyalty and our silence while they do it. Because I know what it’s like to have people chirping at you when they perhaps don’t know what’s going on inside. These are quality people. I know them. They love the country. And they won’t make the same decisions, perhaps, that we did. But I believe they’ll do what they think is best for the country and I’ll give my advice privately and keep it to myself.
We take it Cheney won’t be calling Rice for help in the near future.
