"I look at Barack Obama and I see the worst president of my lifetime, without question," Cheney told journalist James Rosen. "I used to have significant criticism of Jimmy Carter, but compared to Barack Obama and the damage he is doing to the nation—it’s a tragedy."

[rktman]

Right on VP Cheney. Anybody take issue with his statements? Looks right to me. He already knows what the "critics" will say about the interview so might as well put it out there. We still like Cheney.

Obama did a playboy interview and used the race card ?

I don't know...did he? I will admit I don't read the articles...

and?

[bramps]

Dick Cheney giving an interview to Playboy pretty much sums up where we are in the U.S. today.

” Cheney told journalist James Rosen. “I used to have significant criticism of Jimmy Carter, but compared to Barack Obama and the damage he is doing to the nation—it’s a tragedy.”

I never thought in my lifetime, we would see a more dangerous president to America than Jimmy Carter.

Obozo makes Carter look like an amateur at destroying America.

And the point is?

Cheny didn’t do Playboy, Obama did.

Dick Cheney accused Obama of 'playing the race card' in a Playboy interview

And he's right.

[Leaning Right]

Anybody take issue with his statements?

Not me. But I gotta tell you something. I wish Cheney would just be quiet. Because he was part of that small group (Bush II, Cheney, and Rumsfeld) who completely mishandled the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Patriots all three are, but that won't change the end game.

The Afghanistan and Iraq wars will end just like the war in Vietnam ended, with helicopters evacuating folks from the US embassy roof. It will all be a waste of blood and treasure.

Bush II, Cheney, and Rumsfeld were the architects of all that. Obama is just the grossly incompetent clean-up man.

I will now retreat to my secret underground bunker, because I'm sure I'll be getting some incoming fire on this.

From the article: In a new interview for the April issue of Playboy, Cheney repeatedly tore into Obama on a wide array of issues, including the racially charged riots in Ferguson, Missouri, and foreign policy.

So by stating that Obama and Holder have been playing the race card, Cheney is playing the race card.

By that logic isn’t Playboy playing the race card by stating that Cheney is playing the race card when he states that Obama and Holder are playing the race card.

When will that darn race card wear out?

Agree 100%.

[Michael.SF.]

I look at Barack Obama and I see the worst president of my lifetime, without question

If Cheney was born in 1789, the statement would be equally true.

[WayneS]

I agree with everything you said except the part about Obama being “the clean-up man”; because NOTHING Obama has done has in any way “cleaned up” the messes in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Every action he has taken, or failed to take, has done nothing but make matter worse.

Bush II, Cheney, and Rumsfeld were the architects of Afghanistan and Iraq, but Obama is the inept architect of Phase 2.

[jaydubya2]

You’re right, my bad.
