Cheney: ‘Stunned’ over Obama comparison between Mideast, Ferguson unrest
Foxnews.com ^

Posted on 09/25/2014 9:44:49 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said he was “stunned” that President Obama appeared to compare the unrest in the Middle East to the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., during his United Nations speech.

Cheney, speaking with Fox News on Wednesday, said it’s “outrageous” to suggest a “moral equivalence” between the two situations.

“I was stunned. I mean, in one case, you've got a police officer involved in a shooting. There may be questions about it. They'll be sorted out through the legal process. There's no comparison to that with what ISIS is doing to thousands of people throughout the Middle East, with bloody beheadings of anybody they come in contact with,” he said.

I didn’t so much see disgust as a cold piercing look into the inner void of Obama.

“I see you for what you are”, sort of look.

He really thinks the USA is worse than the headhoppers. He proves it every day in everything he says.

Ferguson is also the root cause of the recent surge in global warming, climate change, acid rain, global cooling, polar vortex and toenail fungus which is all either Bush’s fault or because of an unusually cold winter we just had or will have.

Cheney obviously thinks Obama is American, which he is not.

UPON THE APPROACH TO THE EVENT HORIZON (2008)

On a ship.
In the vast expanse,
A myriad of lights,
But this trip is different.

We are all together,
Yet we are split in two,
Many in the ship are drawn,
To a brilliant shining mass.

Yet as we approach it,
The center is hollow and void,
Half don't care,
Half see alarm.

We pull against
Against each other,
We are drawn close,
Can't they see danger?

God knows the answer,
In the end our fate,
Our fate is with Him,
The bell tolls.

A poem I wrote about Obama in 2008. I also wrote a piece of music.
VP Cheney's look expresses that so well.

I think there is a very close parallel between the mentality of ISIS and the mentality of the residents of Ferguson...but it probably isn’t one Obama would care to elaborate on.

What’s stunning is no one in congress is expressing they also are stunned.

I guess nothing he says or does anymore demands a response, forget about it.

Fool’s Gold .... or in Obama’s case, Fool’s Black. If the black community could look honestly at the situation, they’d see what major fools he’s made out of all of them by virtue only of the color of his skin.

Thanks, your poem reflects my thinking also, I would only change one thing. I don’t believe the center is hollow and void, I believe it contains evil. I see, even with family and friends, that they do not have the ability or desire to see the truth, so, they think those of us who do see it as it is are overwrought and pessimistic.

Cheney knew what he 'is' and displayed his distaste at the inauguration.

With this reference to Ferguson there should be no doubt what the Regime intended when he and the democrats used the “Bully Pulpit” during the Florida and Missouri clashes.

All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.

This regime and its supporters don’t give a damm if some poor black women or anyone else used all their resources to set up a business in those communities only to have it destroyed through blacks rioting resulting from what democrats created through their propaganda. Such blacks are viewed as eggs that must be broken to make their omlet.

That includes the whites,”hispanics” (note quotes) and asians. They are the other victims who have been maimed, assulted, and murdered by blacks citing those Florida manufactured episodes as their excuse for retribution.

This POTUS (president of the United States) signaled the clever direction to take through his use of “The Bully Pulpit”. And continues to rely on the constitutional office of The US Attorney General to conduct activities and investigations which promote division rather than supress it. Two examples of this used in the Florida case were Holder’s support of the Black Panther’s protest activity and the reward for the demise of the alledged murderer George Zimmerman of the “child”, Treyvon Martin. Which got a wink and a nod

With Ferguson beside sending in 40 DoJ prosecuters which remain to be seen what they come up with. (The Washington Post sent in 4 reporters to work over officer Wilson). Holder demanded witholding the devastating release of the video showing the “victim”was a 6 foot 4 inch 295 pound Michael Brown assulting a dimunitive asian store clerk, who was being portrayed as a just turned 18 year old black”kid” innocently walking home to grandma’s house shot in the back by a white police officer, Wilson, just because Brown was black.

That video was released according to press reports by the police chief of Ferguson responding to FOIA (freedom of information act) requests. But had that video been released earlier there was a decent chance there might have not been 4 days of rioting looting, and destruction of property.

The POTUS has yet to acknowledge and decry those other results, of killings and assults by blacks of whites, “hispanics”, and asians, in retribution for what a “white” hispanic did to a black kid.. Let alone be urged to do so by “news” members of the democrat propaganda army known as the media. They have yet to suffer as their victims the same or any conseqences. They like him are being held unaccountable . It’s time both are. .
