There was no disclosure of classified information.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>OK, so they took out the steel doors and communications equipment and made it into a quest room? Why would Cheney put a steel door on a workspace? What did they do with the steel door when they turned it into an office? Inquiringly minds want to know.<br \/>\nAll I have to say is: Please Lord do not let anything happen to Obama and please don&#8217;t let Obama tell this guy anything that could harm our nation or the president.<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drudgereport.com\/\">via<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, Biden has outdid himself this time.
