Dick Cheney calls Obama 'worst President' on Foreign Policy
Politico ^ | 8 Apr 2015 | Nick Gass

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says President Barack Obama is the worst commander in chief the United States has ever had, in view of the recent Iranian nuclear agreement.

Asked about the deal by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday, the former vice president said the Iranian regime is “one of the most radical” in history and that “Obama’s about to give them nuclear weapons.”

..“I vacillate between the various theories I’ve heard, but you know, if you had somebody as president who wanted to take America down, who wanted to fundamentally weaken our position in the world and reduce our capacity to influence events, turn our back on our allies and encourage our adversaries, it would look exactly like what Barack Obama’s doing,” Cheney said when asked whether he thought the president is naïve or something else.

I’ll second that. Got jimmah cartah beat by a mile and I didn’t think that was possible. Lucky jimmah only made it one term. Yet the lyin’ king made it for two. Must be black privilege.

Sorry, Woodrow Wilson has a lock on that title. And while we are at it, I am no fan of Bush’s invade the world foreign policy either. This country has strayed dangerously from the principals laid out by its founding fathers. Zero is just following the same course first charted in 1898.

Of course most of us here say this or worse, but to hear a public person such as Cheney say it, is not a common thing to hear.

George Washington:

“First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”

Barack Obama:

Worst in war, worst in peace, and worst for the health of his country.

Wilson:
- Got the US into WWI despite running on a promise of neutrality
- Made the banking system public, not private
- Started income taxes
- Allowed arms shipments to Mexican revolutionaries
- Known racist

Obama:
- Allowing a sworn enemy of the US to acquire nuclear arms
- Made health insurance mandatory and made private health insurance difficult
- significantly increased federal debt
- Illegally ran guns to Mexican drug lords
- Known racist

Sorry, I don’t consider Wilson to be a lock on the title of worst POTUS.

Saying Obama is the worst on foreign policy, is to applaud him by faint insult.

No, I do not like the Obama foreign policy--which may be even worse than the Bush II foreign policy. But Obama's domestic policy, his total lack of respect for American traditions, and his clear, over a quarter of a century, associations with a whole flock of those among us who actually hate America, puts him in a class solely by himself, as a President. His foreign policy merely reflects the man directing it.

Well, IF the goal is to help communists by destabilizing the world, then Obama’s the BEST!

Has Dick Cheney considered that possibility?

Over 6 Years on the economy

Last 1/4 zero growth.

Lowest Labor participation sense 1977

How much free or.5 interest rates has there been?

72 months of pouring money into the economy?

Wilson was a terrible and evil man for sure. Told the nation that America would not be in WWI and then by every devious means possible got them involved. And then proceeded with failed nation building.

I would give Bill Clinton first place on sleaze. However, Obama beats all others on pure evil and malice.

The only thing barky can do well is lie without showing any signs of doing it. The she-devil is obvious when she lies because she looks all over and never makes eye contact.

Wilson set the trajectory for much of the tragedy of the 20th century. I blame him in part for the Second World War as much as the First. Wilson also raised the top tax bracket to 77% and saddled the country with a massive debt.

Zero is a bad president. But Wilson was by far the worst in our country's history.
