Cheney gets back to old life, aided by heart pump [Newspaper Article]

Cooper, Helene; Shear, Michael D; Altman, Lawrence K
With former President George W. Bush having decided to stay largely silent during Mr. [Barack Obama]'s tenure, Mr. Cheney had embraced the role of public critic, accusing the new, young president of rolling back Bush-era policies and undermining the security of the United States. In 2009, Mr. Cheney and Mr. Obama gave dueling speeches on the same day. Mr. Cheney's friends and family say that he is making plans to get out in 2011 and do more speeches. On Jan. 20, he is to fly to Texas for the 20th anniversary of the Gulf War with former President George H.W. Bush, the emir of Kuwait, and a host of alumni of that administration, including the former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft and Colin L. Powell, who was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, when Mr. Cheney was defense secretary.

Cooper, Helene; Shear, Michael D; Altman, Lawrence K
Mr. Cheney, as he did at several holiday receptions in Washington, chatted about his new pump. At one cocktail party, he even opened his coat jacket to show off the pump. While Mr. Cheney is noticeably thinner -- his stiff, one-sided grin now shows up on a markedly leaner face -- he is returning, associates say, to his old life, including hunting and socializing.

Bush having decided to stay largely silent during Mr. [Barack Obama]'s tenure, Mr. Cheney had embraced the role of public critic, accusing the new, young president of rolling back Bush-era policies and undermining the security of the United States.
