Liz Cheney Suggests Obama Honored Fallen Soliders For The Publicity


http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/liz-cheney-bush-had-more-class-than-obama-when-it-comes-to-fallen-soldiers.php

Liz Cheney called out President Obama for his early-morning trip to honor fallen soldiers arriving at Dover Air Force Base yesterday, suggesting President Bush honored America's heroes with a bit more class than his successor.

Cheney, on Fox News Radio's John Gibson Show yesterday:

"I think that what President Bush used to do is do it without the cameras. And I don't understand sort of showing up with the White House Press Pool with photographers and asking family members if you can take pictures. That's really hard for me to get my head around...It was a surprising way for the president to choose to do this."It's not clear exactly what Cheney is referring to when she says, "Bush used to do it without the cameras."

It's true that Bush's Pentagon continued a long-standing policy of banning cameras at Dover when the nation's fallen arrived in flag-draped caskets from foreign battlefields. (Upon taking office, Obama lifted the ban.)

So that covers "without the cameras."

But as CBS's Mark Knoller reported yesterday, Obama was the first President to visit arriving dean at Dover since the start of the Afghanistan war in 2001 -- meaning that contrary to when it came to taking trips to Dover like Obama did yesterday morning, Bush never used to "do it" at all.

1. The hypocrisy level is STUNNING!!!

[maxpower]

2. Disgusting

Peace,

[Contrary1]

3. And how much "class" does it take to learn how to execute a proper salute?

Evidently eight years was not long enough.

[Barack_America]

4. Bush never went to Dover. Not once.

Never did he watch a soldier's body come home.

He also prevented the rest of us from seeing that.


I know the TPM article rightly notes this, but it's so central to Liz's bullshit argument I figured it deserved to be mentioned again. Or maybe a thousand times more.

[Howardx]

6. exactly

cheneyspawn expects us to believe that bush went there without letting anyone know, unlikely at best.

[Barack_America]

9. Bush never went.

It has been documented and confirmed.

For example:

"Meantime, the dramatic image of a wartime president on Dover's tarmac was a portrait not witnessed in years. Obama's predecessor said the appropriate way to show his respect for war's cost was to meet with grieving military families in private, as Bush often did, but he never observed cases carrying remains coming off a cargo plane."

-and-

"Obama's predecessor, President George W. Bush, visited the families of hundreds of fallen soldiers but did not attend any military funerals or go to Dover to receive the coffins. In a 2006 interview with the military newspaper "Stars and Stripes," Bush said he felt the appropriate way to show his respect was to meet with family members in private."

I hope very sincerely that Cheney's statement comes back to bite her in the ass as the media highlights her deception and hypocrisy.

[elmerdem]

15. oh for fucks sake

all he did was give up golf. Chickenhawks and draft doggers. There is no word strong enough to describe Liz Cheney.

[peekaloo]

5. Bu$h used to grin like an idiot when using a wounded soldier as a photo op.

Almost like a trophy shot. No good when they're dead, because they can't tell you what a great job you're doing.

[tavalon]

7. Hypocrisy much?

[rwork]

8. That will be the meme next wk.

Matt Lauer called it a photo-op this morning.

[Barack_America]

10. How disrespectful to the soldier's family.

Disgusting.

I wonder how Mr. Lauer would explain Bush NEVER having gone, with or without cameras.

[bigtree]

11. I like her

. . . with her foot in her gob.

[Bitwit1234]

12. Do you expect the truth from this 'acorn' from the spoiled tree

you know like the one who lied about outing an undercover CIA agent for spite. Tells you the character of those two.

[elizfeelinggreat]

13. k & r

Very disgusting.

People who use "I think" in this way are as terrible as those who say "I was just joking" when the truth is anything but.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Her father really needs to apply for his 6th deferment

It'll give the family something new to celebrate.

[Barack_America]

16. MSNBC said this morning, "Cheney received 5 deferments from serving himself".

Have to admit I thought, "well, no wonder he has so much pent up anger".

:evilgrin:

[piratefish08]

17. Liz Cheney is morally reprehensible. Just plain human filth.

She might be almost as disgusting a human being as her father, the only difference being is that she isn't directly responsible for as many deaths. Yet.

[Capt. America]

18. go to hell you worthless cunt

[Barack_America]

19. Agree with the sentiment, but not that word.

[gratuitous]

20. She "thinks" that what Bush used to do?

And this qualifies as an informed opinion on Fox, apparently.

Fox News: Wholly without merit.
Fox News: Fact-free from sign-on to sign-off
Fox News: Now entering the no fact zone

[felinetta]

21. President Obama really threatens their idiotic world. I'm still waiting for Liz to thank Obama for

granting Cheney's request for six more months of Secret
Service. President Obama was not obligated to do this.  Well
Cheney, using government again for your own personal, selfish
gains.

[HipChick]

22. He should have ended it, 6 months earlier instead..
