Obama Is The New Cheney

Republicans are lashing out at President Obama for telling Bob Woodward:

We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever … we absorbed it and we are stronger.

And yet as John Dickerson writes, former VP Cheney said:

We have to assume there will be more attacks. And for the first time in our history, we will probably suffer more casualties here at home in America than will our troops overseas.
