If I was the president, and that will never happen because I am not insane and neither are you, I'd be pretty pleased with having the still-proud architect of some of the biggest foreign policy disasters in the last half-century peeved at me.
He is a very, very weak president, Cheney said in an interview with Fox News. Maybe the weakest certainly in my lifetime.
Cheney went on to say that during a recent trip to the Middle East, allies he had dealt with all the way back to Desert Storm expressed alarm at the presidents handling of foreign policy.

What kind of people do you suppose Cheney meets with, in the Middle East? Meeting for tea and crumpets with Ahmed Chalabi? A teary reunion with a fellow dubbed "Curveball?" A collection of depressed arms dealers pining for the good old days of Bush and Reagan?
They all are absolutely convinced that the American capacity to lead and influence in that part of the world has been dramatically reduced by this president, Cheney said. Weve got a problem with weakness, and its centered right in the White House.
This is all part of that baffling conservative notion of strength and weakness where having New York and the Pentagon attacked by terrorists shows you are strong, and putting a bullet in the head of the person who masterminded it without having to wander blindly through a pair of poorly premised and abominably executed wars shows you are weak. A Benghazi would have never happened on his watch, except for the multiple times it most definitely did, and foreign leaders liked his administration, which is why a grateful world gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the guy that replaced it in proactive thanks for just showing the eff up.
All right, Obama: Iraq War architect, serial liar and torture advocate Dick Cheney does not approve of the way you are handling his incompetently planned wars and imagined American colonies. So do the right thing and, I don't know, get T-shirts printed up saying so. There's probably no higher honor in Washington than having the architects of disaster not like you.

(27,439 posts)4. Is Cheney getting briefings?
His opinion doesn't matter. It's based on nothing more than the usual blind hatred for all things Obama that the right seems to share.

But not at the same level as POTUS or VP

Just because Obama isn't milking the system for all it's worth like he and his chimp did.
