Reaction by others

First off, I combined the section with "Public perception" as they were two very similarly titled sections.

Secondly, it's not very NPOV to have Jimmy Carter bashing Cheney with no response from the other side presented. Who is Jimmy Carter to be saying this anyway why is this quote important? What does it add to the article but a critical acclaim by Carter (who, after his presidency, shouldn't be criticizing anyone in my opinion), and Carter doesn't have any insight into what's going on in the White House? I say either remove the quotes entirely, or give some sort of balance. Happyme22 (talk) 01:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've always thought this article was awful. Anything you want to do to improve it, you have my support. - auburnpilot talk 02:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and thank you. I've already fixed up some formatting but it could use a facelift. Happyme22 (talk) 03:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Dear Mr. Cheney,

I don't know if you and your staff monitor this article, but I would like to invite you and your family to the great Minnesota Get Together at the Minnesota State Fair to be held August 21, 2008 to September 1, 2008 in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, in the United States of America. I myself do not plan to attend as I live most of the year in San Diego, California in the U.S. But I have some experience with the event, having sold hot dogs on a stick there during college. I hope you enjoy yourselves if you can make it. Yes, there is a Cheney from Minnesota. I myself have never met the gentleman, but I did see him perfom one night in Minneapolis, Minnesota, also in the U.S., at First Avenue which at the time was one of the world's premiere music venues. I couldn't stay long but thought there was more there than meets the eye.

P.S. I sent a copy of this invitation by way of the Web site of White House and received an email acknowledgement a couple days ago. Unfortunately the bouquet from San Diego, California for Mrs. Laura Bush which was replaced by a vase due to security protocol I believe, at the price of about USD $50 including delivery, could not be delivered because the source of the object was a florist delivery van (as I understand it, not sure really). But that's fine, this year though I have become disabled I can still deduct—to some degree—this approximately $50 from my taxes as a business gift. Thanks to the Internal Revenue Service. On second thought, I had better check with my tax preparer first. Oh dear. He quit last year and opened a new shop with a relative I think. Please pardon the digression. I hope you and your family are able to attend the state fair and have a good time.

Take care and best wishes, -Susanlesch (talk) 15:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
