Cheney Takes Flamethrower To Obama

Former Vice President Dick Cheney was honored tonight at the Hudson Institute’s 2012 Herman Khan Award Dinner at the Pierre Hotel in New York City. Cheney was introduced by Lewis “Scooter” Libby, who spoke in detail about Cheney’s life and accomplishments, joking about how Cheney twice flunked out of Yale, and joking about Cheney’s hunting incident. In his remarks Cheney was harshly critical of President Obama and the administration’s policy in the Mideast. He said he’s very, very concerned about what he sees developing day by day. He detailed the history of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, and what has been done to fight terror and said the Middle East is a very, very dangerous part of the world.

He said that when he hears our president announce that we got Bin Laden and we can “pivot” to Asia he is on the one hand “appalled” and on the other hand fears for future developments. Cheney said that that entire part of the world appears to be moving in a direction fundamentally hostile to U.S. interests, and that the U.S. is increasingly unable to influence events in that part of the world, seemingly because we’re “headed for the exit.” He was critical of reductions in Afghanistan, and mentioned President Obama’s trip to Cairo where he “apologized” for the U.S. reaction after 9/11. Cheney referenced the serious economic problems in the U.S but said he is concerned about the Middle East.

I think that from 2001 to 2009 it should have been Cheney in the White House and Bush still in Texas.

I doubt the Zero would have stood a chance if Bush had picked another candidate for his second term.

Obama’s only task is the destruction of the US. And he’s doing it unopposed.

It’s even more pathetic than Eurabia.

My son was at this event and he told me he got to “chat” with Cheney for a couple of minutes. I asked him how Cheney looked - - what with the bad ticker and all - - and he said he looked healthy and good, just the same as he did when he was in office.

Cheney would have been onne of our Best Presidents ever, probably only exceeded by RENALDUS MAXIMUS!

By Comparison, Obama Hussein is shown to be the Punk, Spiteful Fraud and terrorist 10 year old gay boy that he is!

I second that. Cheney was twice the man GWB was. For openers, Cheney is smart!
GWB, not so much. Reasonably decent, but dumb! I will never forgive GWB for “giving” the country FUBO.

You shouldn’t get people’s hopes up with headlines like that.

With "friends" (/sarcasm) like that, who needs enemies?

I loved his debate with Edwards. That was a roast as well.

Oh good grief. Stop drinking the liberal Kool-Aid, would you?

GWB was and is many things, but dumb is not one of them. He was absolutely wrong about some things, some important things, but that doesn't make him dumb. The "Republican X is dumb" mantra is pure Democrat propaganda, so please don't parrot it.

Wrong does NOT equal dumb.

President Bush didn't "give" us Obama. The idiots who voted for him and the criminals who committed voter fraud are responsible for Obama. Imho.

I wish Cheney were healthy enough to run for President.
