Cheney: Obama is 'worst president of my lifetime'

[spanone]

fuck this fucking fucked up fuck

Dick Cheney is not a big fan of President Obama (and vice-versa).

In an interview published in Playboy, Cheney called Obama "the worst president in my lifetime," and that his damaging legacy will endure.

"I used to have significant criticism of Jimmy Carter," said the former Republican vice president. "But compared to Barack Obama and the damage he is doing to the nation — it's a tragedy, a real tragedy, and we are going to pay a hell of a

price just trying to dig out from under his presidency."

Cheney attacked Obama's foreign policy, including a "precipitous withdrawal" and the status of the U.S. military.

[sketchy]

1. spanone those are my sentiments exactly

How old is Cheney again?

[kelliekat44]

99. Cheney still obsessing over the black guy who won the Presidency twice (without cheating). nt

[ND-Dem]

2. your boy bush was the worst, by miles. he & reagan destroyed the country.

and it's real funny to see mr multiple deferrments whining about troop withdrawls.

ok for poor kids to die, but not for important people like the dick.

[maddiemom]

76. In all fairness to Cheney:

He had "other priorities" during the Viet Nam war. Cut him some slack; the kids who served ( including those who died) had nothing better to do.

[ND-Dem]

80. for a minute i thought you were serious

[maddiemom]

81. Forgot the sarcasm icon.

[svpadgham]

90. I'd say Reagan was the worst, because Shrub was never actually the President.

n/t

[still_one]

4. Why isn't this fuck cheney in jail?

[hifiguy]

28. He should have been tried, convicted and hanged at the Hague

at least five years ago.

Fuck you, Cheney, just fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

52. Do they hang folks still?

I sort of assumed they went by European rules, which typically no longer include death penalties.

But he certainly should have been tried for his war crimes and crimes against humanity.

[jmowreader]

92. For Cheney, they should make an exception

[smirkymonkey]

61. Hear, hear!

I'll second that. I can't believe that motherf***er is still alive. The day he takes a dirtnap will be one of the happiest days of my life.

[maddiemom]

79. No horse deserves that association.

[OnyxCollie]

66. Because the worst President of Cheney's lifetime would rather look forward.

[cstanleytech]

71. Power and influence. He has enough of both still that it protects him plus

even if he was prosecuted getting a conviction with a jury might be next to impossible because the odds are at least one would probably be an asshole and vote not to convict him no matter what.
It sucks though that he wont be sent to prison like he should be.

[octoberlib]

5. When will this guy go away?

[TwilightGardener]

6. Some decent person died and thus enabled this monster to go on.

The universe is a mystery.

[spanone]

9. here's his take on his new heart.....

the way I think of it from a psychological standpoint is that it’s my new heart, not someone else’s old heart. And I always thank the donor, generically thank donors for the gift that I’ve been given, but I don’t spend time wondering who had it, what they’d done, what kind of person.

http://www.salon.com/2013/11/14/dick_cheney_even_bigger_monster_than_you_thought/

[TwilightGardener]

15. The lack of gratitude and humility, and humanity--that's about what

I would have expected of him. He's just staying in character.

[riderinthestorm]

56. OMG! My sisters a double kidney/liver transplant survivor

and she worships her donor daily!

I can't imagine the heartless shithead who can so cavalierly dismiss an organ donor.

Sick.

Truly sick.

[HassleCat]

126. Oh, the Heart...

You're talking organ transplant. For a minute, I was thinking Portrait of Dorian Grey.

[mfcorey1]

7. So, what does he think of Bush? lol

[jberryhill]

8. Says the guy who started under Nixon

[maddiemom]

78. I used to really hate Nixon. But at least he accomplished a few positive things

and got somewhat of a comeuppance and disgrace. Next to Cheney, Nixon was a saint, and even if not in combat, served in WWII. Cheney is truly amoral and a perfect sociopath. He seems to have absolutely no shame or introspective abilities.

[BigDemVoter]

10. Thanks!

I saw this title and just spit hot coffee all over my computer screen! I. . . . am. . . speechless. . .

[namastea42]

11. Cheney is the worst lizard of all time.

Even lizards deservedly hate him

[Rex]

12. Oh is he still alive. Oh well, time will fix that. He is a washed up nobody now.

He had to go to Playboy to get an interview! The man is a joke and will be remembered as a piece of crap that fucked up this country so bad, we may never recover.

FUCK DICK CHENEY HIS IS A NOBODY NOW.

TICK TOCK FUCKWAD!

[Skittles]

58. I have to say, I am not one to grave dance but.....

aw f*** I will stop here

[Rex]

62. Oh I will openly admit to it, just this one time. I make a special exception for Cheney.

I've never graved danced, well I might have tip toed a little when Reagan kicked the bucket...but I will be waltzing all over Dickheads grave and if I knew where it was I'd show up just to spit on it.

Full stop.

[Skittles]

63. I........hear you

INDEED I do

[Buns_of_Fire]

111. No dancing here. It's hard to dance and pee at the same time.

The competition for the beer and diuretic concession at his gravesite is going to be fierce.

[Sheepshank]

13. I guess he just had to get that out.....

and it still makes him look like an ass.

[daggahead]

14. He Must Have Amnesia

2000-2008 doesn't come to mind for him?

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Which Means He'll Go Down As Historically Influential

And important. Cheney has been wrong about every other thing. I'm just staying on that train and presume if Cheney says so, it means the opposite to everyone else.

[Johonny]

17. To be fair, this Cheney clone has only been alive since Obama was president

[hunter]

18. When that sick devil Cheney is squirming, it means Obama is doing a great job.

To bad Cheney isn't squirming in a prison, but life for a guy like that with so much sewage slopping around in his brain and a rotting soul, has got to punishment in and of itself.

If it butt-hurts Cheney that Obama is an extremely cool and competent U.S. President, unlike the venal puppet Bush was, then that's a good thing.

[Sheepshank]

19. this is so freaking funny.

I think Cheney is trying to push back against Obama's stand on the Bsh/Cheney wars. Obama made a recent statement that is likely stinging: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026380967

[Jefferson23]

30. Yep, that's how I read it too. No war in Iran must be a very depressing thought for Cheney. n/t

[truebrit71]

20. Dig out from what? A soaring stock market? A rebounding retail market?

A deficit cut in half and almost record-breaking job creation?

I have three words for that war criminal:

GO FUCK YOURSELF

[deutsey]

21. More evidence that we live in the evil alternate universe

we sometimes see in SCI FI shows/movies.

[eppur_se_muova]

22. Swap those two names and it makes sense.

Otherwise, not.

[City Lights]

23. My standard response to everything that dribbles from Dick's mouth:

Go fuck yourself.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

24. Die, fuckstain, die!

Charge $20 to piss on Cheney's grave and we'll have debt zeroed out in three weeks.

[backscatter712]

25. Obama must be doing something right to get that war criminal upset. n/t

[malaise]

26. Do the world a favor and croak

you war criminal of a dick

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

27. Remember, he is NOT HERE ON EARTH now to fuck us over if he wasnt a CHICKENSHIT CHICKENHAWK

avoiding Vietnam

Either he is killed by the enemy or his own men, a certainty.

Think about it for a minute

[Kingofalldems]

29. Cheney staged many 'precipitous withdrawals' from the US Army

during his draft dodging days.

What was it, 8 deferments?

[hughee99]

120. I think was only 5... Same number as Biden. Nt

[Kingofalldems]

121. Except Biden isn't a chickenhawk.

[hughee99]

122. Exactly, it wasn't like he voted for war

Without having served himself...

Wait, what's a chickenhawk again?

[Kingofalldems]

123. A chickenhawk is someone who wants and revels in perpetual war

as long as he or any family member doesn't have to go.

Sorry, Biden is not on that list.

[Jefferson23]

31. Not to worry, Cheney....all reputable historians have your number.

You have your place in history and if there is a hell, you'll have a place there too...hold on tight.

[arcane1]

32. The "precipitous withdrawal" lie again.

[Turbineguy]

33. Like bush

was a fucking genius.

[BeyondGeography]

34. Our $650 billion defense budget would only be too meager if everyone took five deferments

whenever there was a war. Dick.

[damnedifIknow]

35. Sad that nobody gives two shits about what you think now huh Dickie?

Go the hell away.

[demwing]

36. I don't wish death on anyone

so I'll wish Cheney a long, painful rot attached to his testicals, and nasal hemorrhoids.

[hifiguy]

45. Hourly attacks of explosive diarrhea for ol' DicKKK.

And, to quote Clarence Darrow, "I have never wished another man dead, but I have read many obituaries with great satisfaction."

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

55. And no nurse to change his Depends

[kacekwl]

97. I'm sorry there are

many people I despise but this creature deserves everything I have read here. Yours particularly amused me though.

[Cha]

37. Yeah, cheney we know bush jr was the worst president in your lifetime even though you were his

puppeteer.. lol.. fucking lame projection.

[Tom Ripley]

38. Make your heirs happy; just go ahead and die already, you fucking criminal

[maddiemom]

84. Do we really want to see Liz happy? Hope Mary is still in the will.

[Initech]

39. George W Bush. Worst president ever. Dick Cheney - worst excuse for a human being alive.

[applegrove]

40. No Cheney. That would be your presidency.

[uponit7771]

41. Obama is going to go down as one of the best presidents ever to exist at any time in history

[woolldog]

42. Glad Cheney feels this way.

If he actually liked Obama then Obama would be doing it wrong. We want Cheney to hate Obama.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

43. Your lifetime should be up Darth Cheney.

Why didn't that heart go to a younger person?

[Trailrider1951]

44. Why hasn't this asshole croaked yet?

[hifiguy]

46. The undead have preternaturally long lifespans. nt

[moondust]

47. I think Dicky knows.

He and his pals are gonna end up on the trash pile of history for eternity, utterly disgraced by a highly competent President Obama who has managed to salvage quite a bit from the mangled wreckage Dicky and his incompetent, self-serving buddies left behind.

[DrDan]

48. what would you expect him to say? This should be no surprise.

[MohRokTah]

49. Cheney is the most evil man of my lifetime.

I've been alive since the Kennedy presidency.

[JonLP24]

113. I agree

the main thing that sets him apart is he embraces his evil. Out there defending torture, justifying everything, very evil man indeed not to mention Halliburton heavy involvement in the labor trafficking & abuse racket after taking office.

WTF was doing in that undisclosed location

"I work physical security at an undisclosed location in southern Pennsylvania, that's all I can say," said a well-armed fatigues-clad Army guard as he politely but firmly told the reporter that "everything you see is classified."

There is not all that much to be seen.

Site R -- also known as Raven Rock or the Alternate Joint Communications Center -- is a 53-year-old facility conceived at the start of the Cold War as an alternate command center in the event of nuclear war or an attack on Washington.

Sloping, round-humped Raven Rock Mountain sprouts a thicket of antennae, satellite dishes, and a microwave tower. From state Route 16, the main road that passes the mountain, two oversize metal doors in the hillside are visible through the heavy foliage giving it that Fortress of Solitude touch.

Information about Site R is available on the Internet, and its location -- and use by Cheney -- appeared in several news stories even before the publication of Bamford's book.

Cheney's disappearance to undisclosed locations -- a frequent occurrence after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks -- is believed to be unprecedented for the nation's highest elected officials.

As described by Bamford, the mountain also has a helipad. "But deep inside the hard greenstone granite mountain is a secret world of five buildings, each three stories tall, computer-filled caverns, and a subterranean water reservoir," he writes.

Within hours of the Sept. 11 attacks, Bamford said, five helicopters landed on the helipad, a convoy of sport utility vehicles with black-tinted windows arrived at the main entrance, and tan buses "began laboring up the steep, two-lane road to the heavily guarded, unmarked service entrance. Among those early to arrive was Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz."

I think we know a lot by know what was hatched but though evilness of the whole thing. I never use the word evil but I use it quite seriously to describe Dick Cheney.

[JHB]

50. Mr. Cheney...

[renegade000]

51. "worst"

I would like to echo everyone's sentiments regarding Mr. Cheney as well.

[spanone]

110. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

[Major Hogwash]

53. His legacy of death and destruction is written in blood.

Nobody cares what he says anymore.
His opinion doesn't count anymore.
As if it ever did!

Dick had better get right with gawd while he can because his days are numbered.

[sheshe2]

57. He can go Cheney himself!

Pure Evil

[think]

59. This drips with irony /nt

[laundry_queen]

60. Every time that I'm convinced

there is no such thing as God, or the devil...Cheney shows his ugly mug and I know that if demons exist, maybe the rest of it does too.

[Scootaloo]

64. Wow. Worse even than James Buchanan?

[marym625]

65. Oh give me a break!

I hope this changes the President's mind about prosecuting that warmongering, murderous pig!

[MrMickeysMom]

67. Hey, Ya'll… I still have bumper stickers left...

I swear to God that I am the only American driving their car around with -

69. Cheney is more disgusting than infected phlegm.

[Panich52]

70. So says ex-Nixon staffer & convicted war criminal & VP of a convicted war criminal

[BainsBane]

100. convicted?

Where?

[Panich52]

103. "It's official -- George W Bush is a war criminal" ->

In what is the first ever conviction of its kind anywhere in the world, the former US President and seven key members of his administration were yesterday (Fri) found guilty of war crimes.

Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were tried in absentia in Malaysia.

The trial held in Kuala Lumpur heard harrowing witness accounts from victims of torture who suffered at the hands of US soldiers and contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At the end of the week-long hearing, the five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered guilty verdicts against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their key legal advisors who were all convicted as war criminals for torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.

Full transcripts of the charges, witness statements and other relevant material will now be sent to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as well as the United Nations and the Security Council.

72. A GOP talking point for any sitting Democratic President

However, for Dick Cheney, this type of kneejerk comment takes on a special significance. Perhaps Cheney was a bit too close to the action with multiple domestic, economic, and foreign policy fiascos taking place under and GW Bush's watch prior to January of 2009. Can projection lead to amnesia, or vice-versa?

[rtracey]

85. hmmmm

Its an election year, he forgets he was the master puppet string puller of the most war mongering administration this country has seen. In the end, Obama will be looked at - through republican eyes as the worst, foulest, n***** in the whitehouse, while the democrats and many independents will see him as a president that lead us out of the worst time, took us out of the worst administration and the worst president (Bush), help millions get healthcare, gave a shit about women, seniors, latinos, etc.....we'll see who is remembered Cheney....you dick

[gregcrawford]

86. That lying sack of shit...

... knows full well that the"precipitous withdrawal", was the result of a Status of Forces agreement that Bush signed before Obama even took office. This is a matter of public record, but Shitbag Cheney knows his supporters are too dirt stupid to ever even look at the record, assuming, of course, that they can read at all.

[Badass Liberal]

87. Kick his ass, Barack.

Actually, let's all quit paying attention to this war criminal. Not Fox Entertainment of course, but we sane people. I'd rather hear what Dan Quayle has to say more than Cheney.

And now he's apparently claiming they did a good job on the American economy.

93. No, dear. The three presidents you worked for take that title

He was a midlevel minion under Nixon, Defense Secretary under Bush the Smarter, and Vice President under Dim Son. He would have hit the Superfecta if he wouldn't have been in Congress during Reagan's reign.

[dawnie51]

94. Cheney is frantic....

to obscure and muddy the waters. He was president for the 8 years old Ronnie was in the White House, and for another 8 years while Dubya resided there. He was behind the machinations of both these hellish administrations, and is now working triple time to cloud his involvement by laying waste to the current president who has been left to clean up the mess. Cheney is beyond despicable; there is a special corner of hell waiting for him. And he knows it.

[Vinca]

95. I'd love to know how much loot Cheney has earned in the stock market since 2008.

It's unlikely he wants to go back to the good old triple digit days of the Bush years.

102. I thought Cheney was the worst President of my lifetime, though St. Ronnie may have tied.

[Turbineguy]

104. Well, other other hand

he should know what a bad president looks like. But their always next election. Maybe they can get one of their guys to finish what they were well on their way to accomplishing when they were interrupted.

[Jean Genie]

105. ZOMBIE

In HIS lifetime? Didn't that bastard die way before Obama was elected the first time? Oh sure, he's been mysteriously kept alive - if someone who has no heart can be said to be alive - for years, but it seems pretty clear that he's nothing more than a long-dead man walking (and bloviating).

[raccoon]

106. No, Dick, the worse president was YOU under cover of Dumbass. nt

[tavernier]

107. Proof positive that I voted for the right man!

Had he praised Obama, I would have really had to rethink my vote... Not to mention my entire value system!!!

It is sad that this POS continues to suck oxygen and sadder still that anyone provides him access to a tank. I'll not read Playboy for two years because of that "interview"....I don't mind that they interviewed him but they should have the good sense to publish it posthumously.

[JonLP24]

112. You're the worst Vice President of all-time

Given that you sung so highly of your praises, basically describing yourself as his top adviser I believe it no doubt considering what appealed to from the Gulf War became CEO of Halliburton and I don't know if there really was a conflict of interest ties cut but I'm sure you were compensated fairly.

Bringing up Jimmy Carter? A whole bunch of shit that started before he got there hit the fan by the time he arrived. Embargo? Hostage? Carter was sabotaged but I'm pretty sure you know that you miserable piece of...

Carter presidency sabotaged by Repugs, oil lobby



US Republicans and US oil industry interests either directly or effectively eliminated John and Robert Kennedy from helping put the United States on a reasonable, just and sustainable course for the future. They got Texas' Lyndon Johnson to bat for their oil and militarist interests, then initiated the take-down of Nixon as Nixon's innate distrust of the U.S. Eastern Establishment (Nixon's misplaced trust in GHW Bush** aside) re-surfaced following his ascent to the presidency in 1969.

Actually, when Republican oil/intelligence interests couldn't get Nixon to pick their man GHW Bush in 1968 instead of Spiro Agnew for the VP slot, they started the clock on Nixon.

The uber-fascist Republican/oil lobby got war-criminal Henry Kissinger hard-wired into Jimmy Carter's presidency; a feat akin akin to putting a psychopath on a pulpit to foster ethics and morality. After more than 25 yrs of these U.S fascists' overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian government of Mossadegh in order to reinstall the pro-US/Britain corporatist, autocratic rule of Shah Pahlavi, these U.S. fascists facilitated exiled Shah Pahlavi's admittance into the United States after he escaped Iran with billion$ stashed in foreign banks, leaving Iran without accounting for his SAVAK/CIA security/intelligence horrors perpetrated on Iranians. The Carter administration had assured the new Iranian government that the Shah would not be allowed in exile in the United States. When this assurance was breached at the insistence of and blackmailing efforts of the Shah's good buddy Kissinger, most every politically cognizant person in the world knew the Iranians would be furious; whereupon, in very short order, Iranian civilians took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

As the period of the takeover, hostage situation, was growing, the same U.S. Repug/oil industry fascists who put down the red carpet for the exiled Shah's entry into the U.S., in collusion with fascist Israel's Mossad and fascist Afrikaner South Africa, willfully committed treason against the U.S. government by covertly negotiating with Ayatollah's Iran for the release of U.S. hostages to ensure Iran would not negotiate with the Carter administration for the hostages' release, the latter being an actuality that would most likely have contributed to the re-election of Jimmy Carter in 1980, then conceivably a world that would never have experienced the terrorUSt$ reign of Ronald Reagan and the Bush Dynasty.

114. "his damaging legacy will endure"??

We're STILL paying for bush's two unnecessary wars, and Cheney's company, Halliburton, is STILL getting paid for the no-bid contracts that he and bush awarded the company.

But he is correct in one sense, "we are going to pay a hell of a price just trying to dig out from under his presidency", but that refers to bush's presidency!
