Dick Cheney

Vice President of the United States

More Profiles

Many voters were comfortable voting for George W. Bush in 2000 because of the presence of Dick Cheney on the ticket. He had experience and was viewed as a responsible, steady leader who would helped the inexperienced Bush.

Few expected Cheney to become the extreme, ideological force that would clash with Colin Powell and become the driving force towards war with Iraq. Cheney is now one of the most polarizing figures in American politics and he is without question the most powerful figure in the Bush administration.
