Cheney Endorses McCain
With President Bush “intentionally lying low this week,” according to the New York Times, the Obama campaign wasted no time sending out a video of Vice President Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Sen. John McCain for president.
DICK CHENEY: And in three days we’ll choose a new steward for the presidency and begin a new chapter in our history. It’s the biggest decision that we make together as Americans. A lot turns on the outcome. I believe the right leader for this moment in history is Senator John McCain. John is a man who understands the danger facing America. He’s a man who has looked into the face of evil and not flinched. He’s a man who’s comfortable with responsibility and has been since he joined the armed forces at the age of 17. He’s earned our support and confidence, and the time is now to make him commander-in-chief. I’m delighted to support John McCain and I’m pleased that he’s chosen a running mate with executive talent, toughness and common sense, our next vice president in Sarah Palin.”
Update: Obama responded by saying, “I’d like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it.”
