There are two different versions of the story of the end of the Cold War: the Russian version, and the truth. President Barack Obama endorsed the Russian version in Moscow last week.
Speaking to a group of students, our president explained it this way: "The American and Soviet armies were still massed in Europe, trained and ready to fight. The ideological trenches of the last century were roughly in place. Competition in everything from astrophysics to athletics was treated as a zero-sum game. If one person won, then the other person had to lose. And then within a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Make no mistake: This change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful."

Yes,
This is treason on the grandest scale. Aiding and abetting the enemy.

Liz Cheney does not speak with forked tongue like the community organizer. She nailed it and him along with it. What is very evident with barry is that in his mind it really is all about him, not the country. Liz Cheney is a rising star who is as tough as nails.

I LOVE THE WHOLE CHENEY FAMILY-they represent families everywhere with their dedication to the truth, their intelligence and go for it attitude.
They have not escaped the sorrows and tribulations families have, and have embraced those rough times and stood firm in support of each other.
I LOVE THEM! I felt so SAFE with Dick Cheney and George W Bush at the helm because I know they understood their FIRST JOB was the security of our nation.
How did we EVER manage to elect a sissy man who harbors hatred for our nation and LIES about history in order to minimize his nations great accomplishments towards the FREEDOM OF OTHERS!

The Obama administration does seem to believe in another kind of exceptionalism -- Obama exceptionalism. "We have the best brand on Earth: the Obama brand," one Obama handler has said. What they don't seem to realize is that once you're president, your brand is America, and the American people expect you to defend us against lies, not embrace or ignore them. We also expect you to know your history.

The truth, of course, is that the Soviets ran a brutal, authoritarian regime. The KGB killed their opponents or dragged them off to the Gulag. There was no free press, no freedom of speech, no freedom of worship, no freedom of any kind. The basis of the Cold War was not "competition in astrophysics and athletics." It was a global battle between tyranny and freedom. The Soviet "sphere of influence" was delineated by walls and barbed wire and tanks and secret police to prevent people from escaping. America was an unmatched force for good in the world during the Cold War. The Soviets were not. The Cold War ended not because the Soviets decided it should but because they were no match for the forces of freedom and the commitment of free nations to defend liberty and defeat Communism Saying it like it is...I love Liz!

If barry’s tongue came notarized I would not believe anything he said or even consider it true in any fashion.
He is truly delusional. barry must have brain damage or transported himself from a parallel world to to give this kind of speech.

Obama is a brainwashed fool. He makes me want to puke. Sadly, too many people now have been reprogrammed to see America as the bad guy and the aggressor in the cold war. Too many programs like MASH have pulled the wool over a generations’ eyes. The Soviet Union was evil. The average Uni educated marxist nowadays somehow have been molded to the other side.

Why do the WOMEN of our party, Liz Cheney, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin have more BALLS than the men! Thay also happen to be BEAUTIFUL! Because white men in the western world have been castrated! We're all evil you know!
