Liz Cheney attacks Obama

The former vice-president's daughter tosses out the red meat at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference
By Mike Madden



NEW ORLEANS -- Liz Cheney wasn't exactly shy about going after President Obama in her speech at the opening session of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference here.

"President Obama should stop apologizing for this great nation and start defending it," she said, in one of several lines in her 30 minute speech that won big ovations from the crowd. Other bits of Cheney wisdom that went over big:

* "Somebody needs to keep reminding this administration that foreign terrorists do not have constitutional rights."

* "The media has played this up as a confrontation between Dick Cheney and Barack Obama. I prefer to think of it as a constructive dialog -- between a two-term vice president and a one-term president."

* "Regardless of massive public disapproval of the healthcare plan, this president rammed it through on a partisan vote. President Obama's phony numbers are about to become our very real problem."

* "One of the greatest thinkers of our time, in my opinion, is Charles Krauthammer."


In fairness, she did also say conservatives need to applaud Obama when he does the right thing. But she made it clear that "doing the right thing" basically entails "doing whatever the Bush administration would be doing if it were still in charge."

One line in Cheney's speech, though it didn't get much of a reaction from the audience, seemed like a bit more than a throwaway. "It will fall to our next president, whenever he -- or she -- takes office on Jan. 20, 2013," Cheney said, to lead the nation back to the right path. With Sarah Palin speaking here on Friday, was Cheney trying to encourage her to run in 2012?

5. If she doesn't like the way he is running this country, she can fucking leave
I'm sick of this bullshit: attacking the president in a time of war, when we have troops in the field.

She gives direct aid and comfort to the enemy when she questions our commander in chief.

8. Liz is a girl after her insane Sith Lord daddy's own heart.
"Massive public disapproval"? Yeah, because Republicans spent a year lying about the contents of the bill.

"One-term President"? Not if the public has anything to say about it, Lizzie.

As for Krauthammer being one of the greatest thinkers of our time, well, there's really no negotiating with someone who's that far down the rabbit hole.

12. I love the way the pubbies are throwing around the "one-term" crap when Obama isn't even half way
through his term. Seems to be a chicken egg thing to me. Think of it, Bill Clinton at the same point had his health care bill going down in flames and the Republicans were set to take over the House and Senate in 1994. Obama is not in as bad a shape as Clinton was - and Clinton won reelection easily in 1996.

13. Nobody cares what you think, Cheney Jr.
Accept for idiots. How exactly is she relevant? Being some freak's spawn doesn't mean you are important.
