The Cheneys' hatred for Obama is making them look like fools. I mean, when people like Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, David Frum,Erik Erickson(sp?? from RedState) and even, yes, Sister Sarah, as Keith O calls her, liked and praised Obama's Nobel Prize, you would think that Liz Cheney would have the descency to shut up. But that would be without considering the Cheneys lack of shame and lack of love this country.
After her father accusing the President Of the United States of treason last week, his daughter, who never held a public office nor worked for the CIA nor worked as POTUS or Secretary of State, found a way to attack President on his Nobel Speech. A speech that I believe more conservatives loved than liberals themselves. Even Sarah Palin claimed that Obama was inspired by her own book "Going Rogue" while writing his speech.
I believe following John Bolton's steps, who didn't like Obama's speech, Mrs Liz "I got my job because my daddy was Vice-President" Cheney appearing on Fox News' Sunday show with Chris Wallace slammed the President for "attacking the CIA" in his speech by mentioning the closing of Guantanamo. She told Wallace's panel :
But we still had in this speech, you know, it is almost like it has become reflexive, this notion that America abandoned its ideals after 9/11. And I think that as we see this president repeatedly go on foreign soil, and accuse America of having tortured people, talk about Guantanamo Bay as an abandonment of our ideals, you know, that part of the speech to me really is nothing short of shameful. And it is not just an attack on political opponents. It really is casting dispersions and, I would say, slandering the men and women in the CIA who carried out key programs to keep us safe and the people frankly right now at Guantanamo Bay who are guarding some of the worst terrorists. So I think that part of the speech represents something I hope the president will stop soon.
Really ? I didn't know that the new name of the CIA was Guantanamo Bay (snark). Since when this lady is a CIA expert anyway ? My father was an investment banker, that doesn't make me an expert on investment banking or does it ? I know that Sarah Palin is a joke, but I found myself having more respect for Sarah Palin for the accomplishment she had by her own. Unlike Mrs Cheney, at least Palin didn't use her daddy's name to help her inside the GOP leadership.
BONUS TRACK : Our "always right" pundit Bill Kristol (snark) and his twisted interpretation of Obama's Nobel Speech :
KRISTOL: There’s this one sentence, "There will be times when nations – acting individually or in concert – will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified."
That’s a pretty striking statement. I mean any American president should say that who’s looking at Iran developing nuclear weapons. I think he is, it’s not just that Israel might use preemptive force against Iran. This speech lays the predicate for a legitimate use of force to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons by the U.S.
