Obama - Tell Cheney to F Off Now!

[NightOwwl]

Godammit Obama where's the fire inside? We the people want to see you tell this motherfucker to stick it where the sun don't shine!

[Better Today]

1. Cheney is being handled just fine, we don't need another president

that acts like a blow hard. Please don't encourage this crap.

[saltpoint]

2. Cheney is trying to get the president's goat.

But Obama's goat grazes at a far higher altitude on the mountain than Cheney's taunts.

[tabatha]

6. +10000

[LaPera]

3. So all the stories about Cheney & his bad heart, over ten years ago were just bullshit...

The evil, wicked hateful, blood-thirsty war-mongering, psychopathic, liar Cheney just keeps on going and will for many more years, perhaps decades....All these corporate imperialist republicans live to lie until they are ancient.

[Dr.Phool]

25. Of course it was bullshit. Cheney has no heart.

[LakeSamish706]

4. If Obama had held these MF'ers accountable in the first place, he wouldn't

be hearing from the likes of Cheney other than from the inside of a jail.

[wryter2000]

5. He pretty much did

Can't be too good for the old gargoyle's delicate heart.

[NightOwwl]

10. This is the crap that is killing the Dems.

Most of America doesn't have the time or inclination to search for and read a gigantic wall of text. I guarantee you, if Obama were to go on national tv and call Cheney's bluff, a lot of people would admire him for it.

Cheney's betting Obama won't respond; he's also betting that people will begin to view Obama negatively when it comes to terrorism and national security. Right now, I think he's winning that bet.

21. Biden should do it....

19. I Like That Pfeiffer Kid - He's Got Potential

"To put it simply: this President is not interested in bellicose rhetoric, he is focused on action. Seven years of bellicose rhetoric failed to reduce the threat from al Qaeda and succeeded in dividing this country. And it seems strangely off-key now, at a time when our country is under attack, for the architect of those policies to be attacking the President."

Damn son...

[Clio the Leo]

23. He's plucky!

:)

[NightOwwl]

28. Bellicose Rhetoric

Oh horrors! The republicans are using bellicose rhetoric!

Yeah, that's gonna convince the average joe that the pugs are out of line.

[laylah]

8. All these "unrecs"...

what a bunch of hating assholes! K AND R!

[Cant trust em]

9. Actually I think that getting into that stuff makes the president look weak.

That should be Gibbs' job.

[Ikonoklast]

11. Never wrestle with a pig.

All that does is get you dirty, and makes the pig happy.

Obama has others kicking Cheney in the balls for him all over the media today. Look around.


Cheney is looking and sounding bitter and foolish.

He fucked up, big time.

People are sick of his lying bullshit, and Cheney is getting called on it.

[Parker CA]

14. Exactly. nt.

[marshall]

12. I'd like to see him do that little "middle finger stroking his cheek" gesture

While he's talking about Cheney, he can casually engage in that gesture he's used to great advantage before. We'll all know what it's about, but it's subtle enough that Cheney can't throw another hissy fit.

[JamesA1102]

13. They just did

Ed Schultz just read the statement on the air.

[Bitwit1234]

15. NO NO NO don't tell cheney to F**k off

tell him to go F**k himself ...that's more a put down, after all he told Leahy to do that.

[NightOwwl]

16. Yes!

[jaxx]

17. K&R

The unreckers are out hot and heavy. Just why would the unreckers want the dick not to hear it from Obama? DU I think we have a problem!

[LovinLife]

18. I said this yesterday. Not just cheney, the entire GOP. They all need to shut the fuck up. NT

[euphoria12leo]

20. Tomorrow

we'll hear from Lizzie with all her lies repeating the same damn thing her daddy just said. I
wish they would STFU. Arrest Cheney, somebody. Then he'll have a heart attack and we won't have
to go though this.


:banghead:

[butterfly77]

22. The problem is that..

he is and I don't think that he needs to answer to that ASSHOLE anyhow. Now,the main problem is that the media continues to think that he has to act like the bush adm,they are not dealing with the bus adm.

The media are the ones who keep pushing this shit..I wonder if they will think that every president in the future will need to model themselves after Cheney/Bush.

[NightOwwl]

24. Obama should be the one controlling the media,

not the other way around. It appears they've learned nothing from the health care media fiasco.

[Phx_Dem]

26. The White House does just that in their statement

First, it’s important that the substantive context be clear: for seven years after 9/11, while our national security was overwhelmingly focused on Iraq – a country that had no al Qaeda presence before our invasion – Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda's leadership was able to set up camp in the border region of Pakistan and Afghanistan, where they continued to plot attacks against the United States. Meanwhile, al Qaeda also regenerated in places like Yemen and Somalia, establishing new safe-havens that have grown over a period of years. It was President Obama who finally implemented a strategy of winding down the war in Iraq, and actually focusing our resources on the war against al Qaeda – more than doubling our troops in Afghanistan, and building partnerships to target al Qaeda’s safe-havens in Yemen and Somalia. And in less than one year, we have already seen many al Qaeda leaders taken out, our alliances strengthened, and the pressure on al Qaeda increased worldwide.

To put it simply: this President is not interested in bellicose rhetoric, he is focused on action. Seven years of bellicose rhetoric failed to reduce the threat from al Qaeda and succeeded in dividing this country. And it seems strangely off-key now, at a time when our country is under attack, for the architect of those policies to be attacking the President.

Second, the former Vice President makes the clearly untrue claim that the President – who is this nation’s Commander-in-Chief – needs to realize we are at War. I don’t think anyone realizes this very hard reality more than President Obama. In his inaugural, the President said “our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.” In a recent speech, Assistant to the President for Terrorism and Homeland Security John Brennan said “Instead, as the president has made clear, we are at war with al-Qaida, which attacked us on 9/11 and killed 3,000 people. We are at war with its violent extremist allies who seek to carry on al-Qaida’s murderous agenda. These are the terrorists we will destroy; these are the extremists we will defeat.” At West Point, the President told the nation why it was “in our vital national interest” to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to fight the war in Afghanistan, adding that as Commander in Chief, “I see firsthand the terrible wages of war.” And at Oslo, in accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, the President said, “We are at war, and I am responsible for the deployment of thousands of young Americans to battle in a distant land.”
