>> Obama made a mistake not going after Cheney.

Don't be silly. First, Obama is on the losing side of the argument and anything he might say would be defensive. He has been accused, what is he going to say?

Secondly, it is a former VP's prerogative to go after the president, it isn't unseemly, it is correct. Just as Gore went after Bush. It is different from a former president going after a current president (like Carter has done). It would make Obama look petty while exposing him to more criticism.

Obama needs to ignore it, just the way Bush ignored criticism when he was president. Even better, he could acknowledge it as Bush did a couple of times and say, "I welcome the criticism, that's what democracy is about" -- which allows him to rise far above it as GWB did.
