After doing everything in their power, as part of the fifth column, to get Obama elected, including omission of facts, silence and full blown support, Newsweek still feels the need to portray President Bush and Vice President Cheney in the most negative light.
Obama’s Cheney Dilemma
Dick Cheney, who will step down as vice president on Jan. 20, has been widely portrayed as a creature of the dark side, a monstrous figure who trampled on the Constitution to wage war against all foes, real and imagined. Barack Obama was elected partly to cleanse the temple of the Bush-Cheney stain, and in his campaign speeches he promised to reverse Cheney's efforts to seize power for the White House in the war on terror.
No image of a dark monster who imagines enemies attempting to take his power so he tramples on laws and rights leaving a stain on the national psyche in that story. And that is just the first paragraph!
Dick Cheney:

a monstrous figure
who trampled on the Constitution

real and imagined
Bush-Cheney stain
to seize power
Barack Obama:
cleanse the temple
reverse Cheney's
Newsweek, at the same time, gives the image of a messiah who is coming to cleanse the temple by reversing the dark monstrously delusional Cheney. Darkness and light in an interesting reversal of real and projected imagery. It's great for writing 101, but it truly juvenile for a reporter writing for and edited by a magazine such as Newsweek.
In fact, I think the whole Bush Derangement Syndrome is juvenile. In their stated goal of bringing civility and peace back to the United States, the left has acted like little babies stomping their feet while calling people the worst names they can think of, as they parade around in costume while chanting vulgarities and hate in unison as if the teacher won't punish them because there is safety in numbers.
We have some serious and dangerous times ahead. Time to grow up.
