I've seen the man speak and his persona borders on that of a dictator. Cold, focused, and unflinching. Some might find that inspiring, I find it a little inhuman.

Over the last 6 years I've wrestled with what I consider good leadership qualities and certainly Cheney exhibits more than a few of the ones I hold in high regard. In the world of business, he is the perfect man to lead, especially if you're in to the macabre business tactics of the oil industry.

However, I also believe that the government is in place to serve the will of the people regardless of what the leaders believe is right or wrong. I do not work for Mr Cheney, he works for me, period. Im comfortable with the White House taking action when it is needed, and setting agenda and policy, but not against the clear will of the people. Its highly disrespectful and incredibly undemocratic IMO.
