OBAMA RAPS CHENEY - AT 9:16 A.M. ET: 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama hit back at former Vice President Dick Cheney's criticism of his policies on terrorism suspects, saying Cheney's approach had brought the United States scorn instead of security.

Obama told CBS network's "60 Minutes" program that the policy on detainees at Guantanamo Bay military prison under the administration of former President George W. Bush had been "unsustainable."

COMMENT:  Brought us scorn instead of security?  What have we gotten since The One took office?  Compliments?  Flowers?  Name a single change a single country has made in its attitude toward the U.S.    This is real cult-of-personality stuff: "I'm here, things will be better." 

Show me.
