Dick Cheney: Barack Obama 'trying to pretend'

Former Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Barack Obama on Tuesday of “trying to pretend we are not at war” with terrorists, pointing to the White House response to the attempted sky bombing as reflecting a pattern that includes banishing the term “war on terror” and attempting to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

“[W]e are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe,” Cheney said in a statement to POLITICO. “Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society.”

Re: Zero desires social transformation above all ... the restructuring of American society

PING

Cheney hits the nail on the head!

[Jeff Head]

Obama is not at war with our enemies. He is at war with us.

“It just occured to me that W is praying in this pic.

Anyone else see this?”

YES. I do.

Ditto.

I know the feeling. There are certain people that have just creeped me out and later on I found out they were trying to pull off a big lie.

Obama has creeped me out from the get go. A very strange individual.

Yea. Dick looking him eye to eye and thinking...I wonder who will drop the dime on him regarding his eligibility.

I love this man!

[No Longer Free State]

A senior Democrat said in response: “It’s telling that in attacking the president and the administration, that Vice President Cheney did not condemn the attack against our nation on Christmas Day.”

I wonder if Politico pointed out to this "Senior Democrat" that the POTUS did not 'condemn the attack against our nation' in either of his two addresses so far. Nor has any senior administration official. They were too busy telling us the system worked.

It'll be okay -- Obama's plan includes abject surrender and submission of the US to shariah law. Thanks Ernest.
