Liz Cheney: Obama speech was 'naive' @ 10:13 am by Eric Zimmermann

Obama's speech was "naive" and engaged in "moral relativism," says Liz Cheney.

Appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Cheney said Obama should have taken a harder line with Iran.

"I was troubled by the sort of extent to which i heard moral relativism," she said. "I heard the president talk about Iran as though we've done some bad things to Iran and they've done some bad things to us, but now we just need to really get together here to go forward."

Instead, Cheney says the President should have "acknowledg[ed] the fact that Iran is the world's largest terrorist sponsoring state, that they really do have these hegemonic ambitions for the region."

She added: "The notion that we just simply have mutual interests here strikes me as a little bit naive."

Video below, followed by the section of Obama's speech dealing with Iran:

She is exactly right.

As I listened to that speech I kept hearing the community organizer approach. "Look, we have both been dissing each other and neither of us has clean hands. Let's all sit down and talk things out together. And let's march together hand in hand towards a newer, better future."

Moral equivalence, ignoring real irreconcilible differences, ignoring the nature of conflict, and so on... He is remarkably ignorant.

Naive yes but I think that it follows the exact path that he is using within America to weaken us around the world.

What American’s are only beginning to see is how much the world see him as clueless and weak and pay no attention to whatever he say or does except to take advantage of of this arrogant little boy in the candy store.

It's amazing that the GOPers with the most balls, are women.

Women have the most to lose under a totalitarian Khalifat. That could motivate some who truly understand what is going on.

That is telling it like it is. She has the gray matter to back it up.

No I'm still Darth Cheney. She'll have to get her own label.

A retarded president can only be as good as his teleprompter.

I really really really like her.

Ditto. I like her better than her husband. Who seems to not get the differences about marriage and personal freedom...and is practicing moral equivalency for 'gay rights'
