Obama vs. Cheney

The battle of speeches ensued yesterday. The purpose of this post is not to start a political debate but to consider the following questions. Does a definable generation gap exist between U.S. President Barack Obama and and former U.S. V.P. Dick Cheney? If yes, (I think most would answer yes) does this gap play a role in their opinions or outlook on the past or the future as it relates to the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp?
