Cheney Praises Obama's Picks

What did you think of the shoe incident? "He had some good moves," Cheney said. Who knew the shadowy one, with no regrets, had a sense of humor. He said he loved being vice president. At least he loved his time in government.
CNN: In an interview with ABC News, Cheney called the team — to be headed by Secretary of State-designate Hillary Clinton, National Security adviser Gen. Jim Jones, and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates — "pretty good."

"I must say, I think it's a pretty good team," Cheney said in an interview that aired Tuesday morning. "I think the idea of keeping Gates at Defense is excellent. I think Jim Jones will be very, very effective as the national security adviser."

"While I would not have hired Sen. Clinton, I think she's tough," he also said of Obama's choice for secretary of state. "She's smart, she works very hard and she may turn out to be just what President Obama needs."
