Just what are Obama's responsibilities towards that nation (or the two that actually exist today rather than the one that no longer exists).

when he tells Americans that he is from Slovakia they say "Isn't that part of the former Yugoslavia?"

You'd think Liz would be a little better informed than just anybody...I wonder what George Will was thinking when he heard that come out of her mouth...

Liz Cheney worked in the Bush Sr. State department between 1989 and 1993 - during which time, Czechoslovakia ceased to exist. She seems to have been unable to grasp basic international affairs, despite it being her job. Of course, I'm sure the fact that her father was Defense Secretary for all of that period has nothing to do with her getting a job for which she was patently unqualified. Or for her return to the same Dept when he was vice president.

There is little to be surprised about when it comes to the Cheney clique. I always can predict the garbage that will come out of the mouths of Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Frank Gaffney, Ron Christie, Mary Matalin, David Rivkin, and others associated with the disgraced former Vice President. These tools are entirely without compunction when they distort the public record and pitch to our base fear instincts as a way to maintain some pseudo moral high ground.These people are not the center of my ire. They are liars. Their credibility is zero to none. There is almost nothing Dick Cheney says that isn’t parroted by his draft deferment daughter, Liz Cheney.

I don’t expect her to change her tune. This isn’t going to be an examination of how Liz Cheney is wrong because the facts do that well all by themselves. No, my comment is entirely focused at CNN and ABC News for giving this blathering fool the space to talk in the first place.

THIS WEEK with George Stephanopolis has been quick to invite Liz Cheney to sit on their panel along side veteran reporters or politicians and give her equal voice as if she’s got something, equal, to say just because the nepotism that placed her in the State Department is its own endorsement of her credibility on security and foreign affairs.

CNN occasionally honors the Cheney the younger to stand up for her cowardly lying father by placing her up against James Carville. The combination never changes much. I remember her “debating” James Zobgy who looked at her as if she were nuts.

Maybe she assumed that Obama had a time machine...so retroactively it's his fault that the country split in two. Yeah...that's it....
