Evil Dick Cheney: Obama got bin Laden but Bush "laid the groundwork," prefers Carter to "weak" Obama

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Above: Bush "lays the groundwork" for killing bin Laden by ignoring the August 6th, 2001 presidential daily briefing entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S."

Cheney does not know who donated the heart he received, since medical protocols keep that information confidential. There are, however, intermediaries who can reach out to a donor's family to see if they would be willing to meet recipients, and Cheney said he was "amenable" to making contact. If he does, he wants to express his gratitude for the generous gift he received.

“I can’t think of a more magnificent gift than to be given additional years of life," he said.

Though Cheney is a bit older than most heart transplant patients, there is no absolute cutoff for the procedure. More than 70 percent of heart transplant recipients live at least five years, though survival is a bit lower for people over age 65.

In the interview, Cheney didn't pull his political punches. He called President Barack Obama one of the "weakest" presidents, saying he preferred even Jimmy Carter. He did, however, laud Obama for successfully killing Osama Bin Laden, also taking the chance to commend the Bush administration for laying the intelligence groundwork for the operation. The seasoned vetter even took a jab at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for choosing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008, calling the decision a "mistake."

1. Anyone with a 17% approval rating (Cheney) should really just be ignored.

Let him speak, 83% will just think the opposite of whatever he says anyway.....

[progressivebydesign]

5. and let him be photographed often with Romney.

Why is that old Dick suddenly in our faces 24/7?

2. 2006: Bush Truly Not Concerned About Bin Laden

Cheney loves him some revisionist history.

[liberal N proud]

3. But the failed economy is all Obama's fault

The one that bu$h created!

17. GOP Definition of Personal Responsibility:

They get to take credit for everything good that happens during a Democratic presidency (e.g., Obama killing bin Laden). However, they also get to blame the Democrats for everything bad that happens during a Republican presidency (e.g., the Economic Crash of 2008).

They did the same thing with Clinton, trying to credit Reagan for the booming economy.

22. Maybe you've heard that old saying: the GOP works in mysterious ways

4. good point

your first pic and commentary.

6. Just seeing a photo of Cheney makes me feel less safe

7. That's much better for Obama than having the evil war criminal endorse him.

When someone whose approval ratings are in the single digits attacks you, you should USE it. Of course since the Democrats decided not to investigate this corrupt, lying, war criminal, he still thinks his words have power with the people.

8. If I was a heart in Dick Cheney's body, I'd want out, too!!

I cannot think of a less deserving recipient of any additional years of life.

Go F*** yourself, Dick!!

9. So does this mean Bush is fair game?

[librechik]

10. They like Carter becuz they still have their fascist boot on his neck (stole the election in 1980)

They haven't managed to do that yet with Obama.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

11. Bush laid the groundwork at Tora Bora.

Letting bin Laden escape so Obama could get him.

[rfranklin]

13. That's a great point! Should be used in response every time they claim Bush laid the groundwork...

Fuck Cheney sideways with a 2 x 4!

[The Magistrate]

15. Excellent, Sir!

A thing of beauty, that....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

[2pooped2pop]

21. yes and he escaped to Pakistan

where Obama had him killed.

So see, Darth is right. If not for Bush letting him escape in Tora Bora, Obama would not have been able to get him in Pakistan.

12. I thought they said the heart transplant worked. nt

[yurbud]

14. can you imagine finding out your dead relatives heart was in Dick Cheney?

That would be like finding out Jeffrey Dahmer bought your steak knives at your garage sale and used them to process his victims.

[madrchsod]

16. no one cares what you think anymore

your time is over and you should enjoy your family before your heart fails.

is your life so empty that you have to fill it with things that do not matter and things you can not control?

[Johonny]

18. Obama has been so weak, yet really no examples

I mean you'd think he could be a little more specific. His example as far as I can tell is Afghanistan and Iraq policy. Because somehow we are suppose to remember all the good times we had there during the Bush years.

[JaneQPublic]

19. Dick Cheney has been dead-wrong about everything important.

He said we'd be greeted as liberators in Iraq.

He said the opposition in Iraq was in their final throes when there were still years of fighting to go.

He said the Government didn't have anything to do with his getting the CEO job at Halliburton (as if he'd have ever been considered if not for his high-profile Washington positions).

The list could go on and on, up to and including his assessment of Obama as a weak president.

[nanabugg]

20. And he and Bush laid the groundwork for this economy too. Will they take credit? nt

23. i prefer listening to my ass talk
