Dick Cheney Continues To Blast Obama

April 22nd, 2009, 7:57 PM EDT

The former VP has no problem attacking BushCo’s successor. He claims he never personally attacked the new president and says it’s wrong to do so.  He goes after Obama saying we went to other countries to “apologize profusely”, questions whether Obama  is perceived as “weak” and “standing up for America’s interests.”

  1. Tough questions by the Mannity….

  2. That interview was a joke. Hannity asked some real pusseeee questions. I have a feeling Dick knew exactly what Hannity was gonna ask.

    K: Like you think Cheney’s stupid enough to do a round with the moron twins – Olbermann or Matthews?

    Of course Dickie won’t go a round with Olbermann or Matthews. So he settles for a round with expert fluffer Hannity.

    Of course he is. Cheney knows that Olbermann and Maddow would slam him to the mat in under 2 minutes.

    He should do some rounds with Olbermann or Matthews. If Cheney is so right,why not. If any1 is a moron,Hannity fits the billing.

    willy Reply:

    Maybe he should go on with Matthews, that would be ok. But Olbermann? That guy is a nutcase. He spews with hatred for the entire Bush administration.

    Olbermann has absolutly no respect for Cheney, therefore it would be a lynching if Cheney went on with Olbermann.

    Kregg Reply:

    K: Steve, you may be right about Hannity but do you really think Olbermann or Matthews would would give Cheney a fair hearing?

    K: On the other hand, under a couple of conditions I might like to see such a match-up: 1. Cheney gets editorial control of the televised interview (no cutting to make him appear out of context) and 2. The Puff twins have to document their sources for their statements or claims. Given these two ‘fairness’ issues I think Cheney would literally mop up the floor with those two. He is a very intelligent man and – removing the constraints of the VP office so that he can speak openly I think he’d embarrass them into spotting their panty liners. For teasers the network could run outtakes of the Messiahette and Leg Tingler bitch-slapping each other off camera…

    Bill Maher pisses me off but I like him. He’s got a good intellect and makes good points even if I completely disagree with his assumptions/worldview. Same goes for Phil Donahue.

    After what Dick did to our troops and to the detainees, he deserves no respect.

    I wouldn’t bet on it.

    Why not go on Countdown ? Olbermann will exposed Cheney just like Alan exposed Billo bout who Nixn met in China.

    Cheney…LOL..for 8 years he was invisable, now you can’t shut him up.

    Sean Hannity is at his best when interviewing people like Kalid Muhammad, Malik Shabazz.
    He spent almost 2-years manipulating the darkness, the subsconscious mental racism ,hate and fear that prevail still in “some” part of american
    society.His promotion of”US against Them” is the main slogan. Indeed, Cheney/ Bush did reinforce his
    classical conditioning, just as dogs salivate when
    feeding.
    For him, Obama is the tuning fork which will keep on ringing for 8-years. AS for Cheney, he is an old vehichule striped of all 4-tires.

  3. Dick has done very few interviews since he left office?
    Really?…
    Seems like he’s been on the air almost constantly!
    Next thing you know Fox will have a “Dick & Sean Show”.
    Could this interview use a little more spontaneity? A few more challenging questions? A little less of Sean hovering over every word that Dick utters forth? (I may have imagined it but I thought I saw a little brown spot on Sean’s nose).
    Maybe it’s just me..but it seems that this interview was totally scripted & distorting of what the world image of the US has become during the past Admin.
    Is Dick really so oblivious to the fact that when Clinton left office the US stood in relative favor in the world & in the span of 8 years we’ve become the most disfavored (feared/mistrusted)nation on earth?
    ..But afterall maybe Dick is right? Obama should maybe not apologize…George & Dick should! Bigtime!(…There I go again..liberal dreamer that I am …)

    Mary, are yo kidding? During the glorious Monica years the country suffered the first WTC bombing, the USS Cole bombing, the embassy bombings in Africa and the incident in Mogadishu. Not to mention 9/11 which occurred less than nine months after Clinton left office.

    Not all was as rosy back then, Mary, as you would have people believe.

    Lol, indeed!

    I expect Faux News to give him his own show…right after that other great Republican, Huckabee!

    Can Dick play an instrument? They could segway between anti-Obama segments with Huckabee and his reluctant staff on bass, into Dick Cheney blowing on a jug….think of the ratings.

    Hooooot.

    Hoooooooooot.

    That’s how you see Alan Colmes’ role?

    “dufus” how, Kreeg, because he didn’t see fit to match Hannity shout for shout?

    K: No, because of the number of times even he didn’t believe what he was saying in response as “the designated lib”.

  5. Dick and the Doofus did a great job of making enemies of our allies and enflaming the whole rest of the world, so really Cheney probably should take a job on Fox, where he can just fade away into neoCon obscurity along with Rove and the rest of that happy band of losers.

    No I don’t need to play the RNC Rove Limbaugh game. The facts speak for themselves. Just look at America’s first ally, France, which helped us secede from Britain, and the truth is apparent.

  6. Thanks, Dick for ignoring the memo Richard Clark tried to get all you guys to read right before you all took the first of many vacations, or was it already the second vacation?
    I guess if he waited till you got back the timimng would have been better for all of you, worse for us though. No big deal just use that 9/11 mulligan.
    Good Idea to try to blow it all off with the character assassination of Mr. Clark. What was it you called him again…a Polly Anna I think it was. Nice play.
    Oh, and kudos too on all the nifty deferments.
    Does Baby Sammy realize that he has 2 mommies yet? I hope he does’nt turn out to be one of these Polly Annas.

  7. President Obama and the Democratic congress and Senate need to completely ignore any and all things republican and get on with running the country. The republicans have no ideas and are just getting in the way. “Either lead, follow or get the hell out of the way”

    The republicans did lead. They led us out of a war that could have destroyed Al Quida and followed the neocons who led us into a war with a nation that was not a threat to the USA. Bush Co. got out of the way and let the money lenders lead us to financial disaster. The one statement that comes to mind when talking about the leadership of the republican party is “You’re doing a heck of a job Brownie” which can apply to republican party as a “hole”.

  8. Wowee!!! The PuppetMaster Dick, “they will welcome is with flowers” Cheney is pooping large balls of his non existent legacy.

    OF COURSE Obama has to go around the world and apologize that somehow YOU and GeorgeWBush stole the election in 2000 and WORSE YET, the dumbass US actually vored them in over the flawed dinosaur Kerry, in 2004. SO SORRY!

    Can’t you just SEE Cheney in his UNPRECEDENTED visits Pressuring the FBI/CIA for a yellow cake memo and Iraq War propoganda? This guy is going down in the history books as one of the “wrongest” traitor/politicians of all time.

    They will welcome us with flowers – they did.

    Stole the election in 2000 – wrong again. If you do some research, you’ll find the liberal supreme court of FL screwed that one up…you can thank them.

    BarryB Reply:

    Oh yes, I forgot about that. :) It is amazing to see history repeating itself.

  11. Perhaps, Dick should just get the hint…no, wait a minute…let him keep talking. The more he talks, the more he exposes other areas of interest. When the Valerie Pflame controversy started, a special prosecuter was assigned and it gave the administration the excuse that they couldn’t discuss, “an ongoing investigation”. Without the prosecutor, we can allow him to babble away and bury his own case.

    Interesting how we had two distinctively divergent pathes of torture polices..one through the pentagon and the other through CIA. Both policies were very much the same, although the agency pathes are entirely different, including the oversight…at least…all the way to the top…where the administration interaction with both agency pathes is set…through the pres and vice pres, and cabinet….hmmmmmmm now, who could make both agency pathes adhere to the same policies?
    It is only gonna get more interesting…

  12. Dick Cheney and the Neo-cons…sounds like a 50’s do-wop-group. The man is an embarrassment to himself and all Republicans. Fox is an embarrassment to all ‘News’ shows…it just goes on and on. They should admit defeat and restructure, but no, they have to keep trying to defend their mistakes…total losers and the election proved it.

    You have been responsible for more deaths in Iraq than the terrorists who brought the towers down. And that includes innocent women, children, and babies.

    I don’t know how old you are Southern Girl and it really is none of my business. But I remember watching the news during the Vietnam conflict and I remember many, many war protesters who burned their draft cards and skipped off into Canada. Many that you just might relate to in the content of your beliefs. Should they not be held accountable to the same as you hold Cheney? Condemn all of them or condemn none.

    That’s why Cheney felt nothing of sending our troops off to die. He’s never seen death and destruction, so he doesn’t care if our soldiers die – as long as it’s not him.

    And don’t EVER confuse me with Cheney the Dick!

    But to answer your question, Daddio, I abhore violence in any way, shape or form. I’m a confirmed pacifist.

  14. I had watched the video, a bit earlier. I understand talking in a respectful and polite tone when interviewing a former vice president or even someone who’s new to Washington style politics ala Gov. Sarah Palin.

    However, this interview looks like Sean was fawning over Dick Chaney. Sean wasn’t even softballing. I’ve seen good softballing from Wolf Blitzer and Greta Susteran.

    Dick Chaney definitely had control of this interview. If this had been O’Reilly, I doubt the man would get the “fawn” treatment. Yes, there is likely to be softballing; however minus the “fawn treatment.

  15. Comment by Willy,

    Do you mean like the same hate Fox News Hannity would spew on President Obama?

  16. “”If this had been O’Reilly, I doubt the man would get the “fawn” treatment.”"

    I’m not too sure about that, lol.

    Did you see Billo’s “interview” with Dubya as he was ‘walking’ through the halls of the White House?

    He looked like big dog/little dog from Bugs Bunny after they switched roles!

    Heyyya Ralph! can I? Can I?!

    BarryB Reply:

    Hehe.

    I didn’t see that interview. I was thinking in terms of his interview with Hillary Clinton and Obama. Granted, he was a little aggressive with Obama.

    I said “little” because I’ve seen him when he really aggressive –Elis and Geraldo.

  17. “The Dick of Cheney” says, I’am falling and I can’t get up. Hannity responds,”do you need a mouth to mouth
    again.The producer says “cut-cut-cut,gentlemen we are still
    in the air.
    Hannity cries out “I need another exclusive
    interview”. Dick regretably says ” only if I get a
    successful resuscitation.
    People, Sean has failed to use his mouth properly,
    again.I guess he will have to go back to “Scrub, Rinse and Scrub ” just as he did with Palin and Bush. interview.

  18. But, then, Hannity is a joke.

    But Rush is right.

  19. No smart person can take Hannity seriously NOT ONE.
