Cheney Slams Obama Again, Calls Overseas Trips "Disturbing"
Edited on Tue Apr-21-09 12:22 AM by Nostalgic
From HuffPo:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney slammed President Obama again on Monday night during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity at Cheney's home in McLean, Virginia.

Cheney pointedly questioned the president's leadership, criticized Obama's overseas trips as "disturbing," said his handshake with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez was "not helpful," and strongly disagreed with the release of the torture memos.

"I've been concerned at the way we've been presented overseas... What I find disturbing is the extent to which he's gone to Europe and seemed to apologize profusely, been to Mexico and seemed to apologize there," said Cheney. "The world out there, both our friends and foes, will be quick to take advantage of that... I don't think we have much to apologize for."

2. Cheney's got his fucking nerves!
Oil went up to $150+ per barrel under Cheney's watch.
Perhaps if he wouldn't have been trying to pick a fight
with Chavez, we wouldn't have been paying $4.00 per gallon
for almost a year!

But let Cheney talk shit! He's only making our President look
that much better!

4. Does Chenney read spanish? I wonder...
Edited on Tue Apr-21-09 12:17 AM by nadinbrzezinski
after all the way the Mexican press referred to the US president (regardless of whether it was bush in merida or obama in the DF) was all but nice

You see, this was like seeing Caesar and his entourage... imperial in fact. I mean perhaps Chenney will like that

Of course Enrique Krauze also pointed out that Bush was a whole different environment, far less ahem friendly, and approachable, than oh OBAMA

6. Hey Dick: STFU.
You lost, you are so 2008. Go back to your undisclosed location -- under that rock over there -- and just STFU.

What other logical reason would he continue to do this?

26. He is daring them to prosecute
Just like Bush dared the newly Democratic Congress to impeach him. And, where did that go?

11. I think he still thinks we give a shit what he has to say......
and that somehow he can affect public opinion,
just like in the good old days.

Megalomaniacs often think that way.

17. Poor Dick Cheney
He's gonna spend his remaining years defending the abuse he did to America's reputation. I pray he lives long enough to see that dealing with international terrorism in a way that does not flatter terrorists makes us stronger and safer.

I mean, they got TVs in prison, right?

32. Probably because his whole life has been an exercise in "if you're a big enough
asshole, you get everything you want." When has that ever been proved wrong, in his case? It's worked extremely well for him over the course of an entire lifetime; nobody's ever stood up to him.

Actually, that's not quite true...in what is perhaps a crowning irony, the only person who ever did stand up to him was none other than Dubya, by not pardoning Scooter Libby. Not only stood up to him but gave him both middle fingers by doing it.

Apparently Darth Cheney was pretty enraged by it, if you believe the sources. Pity his head didn't explode.

30. Is it standard operating procedure
for a former vice president to criticize the current administration so regularly? I don't recall any other former VPs doing it but maybe someone can enlighten me.

33. Please, Dicko, keep opening your mouth and criticizing someone
who has a MUCH higher approval rating than you.

It makes you, your sneer, and your < 20% approval rating the face of the GOP! Surely a winning strategy!

34. It's surreal that Shooter is setting himself on fire for attention
when he's on deck for possible prosecution for war crimes.

It's funny that he seems to thinks he can bully his way out of this predicament.

46. Every time he opens his mouth he helps the new administration
draw a contrast with the abject failures of their predecessors.

We should all hope that he keeps it up- and starts acting even more unhinged.
