Washington – Hillary Rodham Clinton isn’t president, but Dick Cheney says that if she were in the White House rather than Barack Obama, then things might be different today in the country.

Cheney isn’t getting into specifics, but he does think that “perhaps she might have been easier for some of us who are critics of the president to work with.”
The former vice president tells “Fox News Sunday” that it’s his sense that the secretary of state is “one of the more competent members” of the Obama administration and it would be “interesting to speculate” about how she would have performed as president.
Clinton lost the 2008 Democratic nomination to Obama, who went on to beat Republican John McCain in the general election. Obama named Clinton as the country’s top diplomat.
he sure knows how to push ’em!!
Cheney and I agree on something? I thought I’d sprout wings and be able to fly before that ever happened.
Who knows.
But you gotta love Cheney for stirring the pot.
This is great. He is saying that Mr. Obama makes him so unhappy that hed want Hillary instead. Despite that he really does not know what would be different. Poor Mr. Cheney has nothing but resentment and chagrin in his later years!
Duh. If things were different, then they would be different. I have yet to see a reason to trust Hillary any better than Obama. Neither does any more (and often less) than give lip service with regards to policy in the Middle East. I am sick of listening to the claims of accomplishing anything in the War on Terror. US policy on immigration is a disgrace. There has been zero success on the economy, unemployment, and other areas of domestic policy. We citizens are not privy to any disagreements between Obama and Hillary. Perhaps the electorate might have sent a different message with electing Hillary, who had at least some exposure to working with the administration and with the legislative branch of government, which Obama completely lacks.
In 2008 in the heat of the primery the conservative radio was full of talk that anybody but hillary for president (they called it ABC) they bagged there listeners to vote in the primary against Hillary in the states where they have open primary’s and hannity stared his show everyday with the “stop Hillary express” monologue
Now they all wish that she is now president
Thank you, Mr. Vice-President, for always suggesting strong, proactive courses of action for our country during your tenure as VP, and for your service to our country over a period of 40 years. Your book informs us that you advised bombing the Syrian nuclear reactor, but the weak, Chamberlain-like course advocated by the State Department was followed instead – had your advice been followed, Assad likely would have been overthrown already, the Iranian nazis would not have Syria as their front-line state, and we would all be better off.
Now that the Anointed One, B. Hussein NØbama, is, in between grovelling overseas apology tours and constant vacations at home, “leading” our great country directly down a sump pump into the sewer of national self-imposed defeat, we can only pray that as little damage will be done to the U.S.A. and Israel as the time constraints of his one miserable term can impose.
מר סגן הנשיא, הקול שלך הוא אינו קול במדבר
תודה לך, שוב, על שהיית חזק מול התנגדות קבועה של טיפשים
Should we continue to call Cheney Mr. Vice President? Or perhaps he should be called Historical Revisionist In Chief?
Cheney is now and always has been a liar first, a thief second, and a propagandist third.
His policies BANKRUPTED this nation. He is a war profiteer and I feel dirty every single time I hear his voice.
Those who were dumb enough to follow him all those years saw nothing but failure upon failure upon failure.
He was a failure for Bush 41. He was a failure for 43. He has never had a successful foreign policy, economic policy or social policy. In fact, nobody can ever point to a single success.
The bankrupting of the nation occurred mainly due to the unsound policies of corrupt and venal imbeciles who forced the banking and mortgage system, en masse, to give mortgages to people who simply did not qualify for them. However, the time-honored democratic party scheme of buying votes triumphed all, and the politically correct requirement to give mortgages to those who could never have been expected to repay them was forced down the throats of the nation (very much like nobama-care). This was led by democrats, aided and abetted by spineless RINOs (republicans in name only). Eventually, the piper came calling, and democrat liars now resort, as usual, to blaming everyone under the sun but themselves. Cheney, had nothing to do with this, but all who were dumb enough to follow the democrat party line did.
There are evidently a great many members of the ignorantsia here who are unaware of the Fair Housing Act and the constraints imposed through it on banks and other lenders. Deluded, ignorant and blind. One almost feels sorry for how they will feel when their Great Leader is voted out of office in 2012. Almost.
Once the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) was passed it was only a matter of time for the collapse. Votes bought, the nation sold down the drain. Thanks, dems.
Can we use the same reasoning and say that the US would have been different if Cheney was not VP?
