Was Obama trying to run out the clock?
President Obama is running late today. He was expected to speak at 10:00am.
It's not uncharacteristic of this administration to run late. But seeing that 28 minutes elapsed before Obama took the stage, you could make a case that the Obama team is trying to make it difficult on networks to carry former Vice President Cheney's speech.
It's politics. It's a giant chess game.
And people in the Twitterverse were talking about it.
arently: Obama delaying Ntl Security speech. Cheney has to wait until Obama finishes. Sensing Rahm laughing hysterically right now.
josh_sternberg: @stevebruskCNN think they're trying to trump cheney's speech at AEI?
Nakialjackson: Is Obama running late because he knows that the networks will not cut from him to go to Cheney?
Uncucumbered: RT @DavidCornDC: Cheny is waiting until after O speaks. What else does Cheney have to do today? /At last he knows his place in the universe
attackerman: so will cheney delay his speech too?
