Dick Cheney Tells Sean Hannity That He ‘Worries Very Much’ About An Obama Second Term

video
» 96 comments

There’s nothing better than having your favorite politicians write a book. Not only do you get to spend a few hundred pages living inside their head and finding out what makes them think, but it also means that there’s going to be a week leading up to the release where they show up on every talk show ever. Currently making the rounds is former Vice President Dick Cheney and Fox News Insider has released a sneak peek clip and some juicy quotes from his appearance tonight on Hannity.

The interview is being promoted as one in which Cheney “reveals all” which is very exciting. Also, apparently the interview will be done “in front of a LIVE studio audience!” which is great because I’ve always found Cheney’s live stuff so much better than his studio albums.

So what do we have to look forward to that he didn’t tell the Morning Joe gang this morning? Well, from the quotes provided, it looks like Cheney says quite a bit about President Obama, not all of it nice.

“Yes, I worry very much about another term. I think it would be unfortunate. Obviously, I’m a conservative Republican. I believe deeply in the free market that made America great, and this administration appears to think only in terms of government and what government can do. We haven’t seen the kind of emphasis on growing the private sector that I think is absolutely essential.”

Burn!

    VP Cheney joins about 70% of the country with that sentiment!!
    Seen the polls lately????

  • gordonbloyershow

    Everyone with a brain should be scared to death of a Obama second term. The man is a fool. He has no idea what he is doing.

  • Bob

     Dick Cheney and George W. Boosh grew the private sector right into the biggest economic collapse since the great depression. The GOP is as fiscally irrespsonsible as they come.

    “Reagan proved deficits don’t matter.”– Dick Cheney,on his party’s squandering of the Clinton surplus.

    70%? LOL

    Didn’t he express similar sentiments at the 2008 Republican National Convention?

  • gordonbloyershow

     You don’t follow the news much do you? Gallup and several other polls show less than 30% of the people approve of how Obama is handling the economy.
    Check it fool.

  • Anonymous

    Oh Gordo – How I’m missed your wisdom.   Agreed, Obama has been tepid in the extreme about getting the economy out of the hole.  There is no denying that he needed to be much bolder in Keynesian terms about restarting the economy and leading boldly.   That said, the economy he is doing a poor job of rescuing was absolutely destroyed (revised numbers show an 8.9!!! percent contraction in the last quarter of 2008!!!) by the deregulatory and tax policies of your political heroes.  

    We can all jeer at the tow truck driver taking his time to get the car out of the ditch, but you’re angling to get the angry drunk right back behind the wheel…

    Dick Cheney: The Moral Certitude of the Immoral

    When Cheney is asked a question, he answers without hesitation.  The
    affect he aims for here is manliness, but he overshoots the mark and
    skids into a swamp of smug mindlessness.  What we are to believe is that
    Cheney’s answers are so self-evident as to be obvious; the truth is
    that Cheney took no more time to make the decisions he now discusses
    than he takes to answer the interviewer’s questions.  That is to say, he
    didn’t think at all.  He is a warmongering psychopath who never
    conceived of a challenge he couldn’t bomb into submission …

    You must remember republicans love to rewrite history.  Its to bad his heart hasn’t given out.  I am sure the devil has a place for him in hell.  That were murders go.  He is a lying pr*ckster.  He deserves a nice jail cell right along with Bush.  I hope he’ll rot in hell.

  • SouthernYankee

    You are a fool.  The republicans mission is to see that Obama gets nothing accomplished.  You must have forgotten your party keeps saying they want to make him a one term president.  Obama has accomplished more in the time he has been in office then Bush did in 8 years.  You just can’t take the truth.  Obama got Osama and you can’t take it.  Obama did it calmly not like the crazy cowboy who hates to get on horses.  Obama is a very intelligent person and he will be relected you can write that down.  People want a grown up in the white house and so far the republicans are coming off like children who whine.  Please forget the bagger they are in their own little deviant world who want to put this country on the Jesus track.

    You are right Jon, side three of Cheney Comes Alive is amazing. The 22 minute version of “Treat Us As Liberators” destroys the studio version. Although I have a bootleg from 2006 of him in Wilkes Barre PA in front of the VFW that makes Cheney Comes Alive sound like his second album.

    Under Bush, private employment shrank by 673,000 jobs, federal employment grew by 50,000 jobs, and government employment grew by 1,753,000 jobs. And this is from the national review online not exactly a liberal bastion. Why do conservatives live in denial. Look at that awesome employment record under Bush. More than twice as many govt jobs created than private sector jobs.

    Unemployment was around or below 5% during most of his time in office. Then the Dims got control of congress in 2006. And what started happening? A total coincidence? I think not.

    Now I would totally agree that Bush spent way too much money, and did not govern as a real conservative and try to shrink the size of government. Government got bigger and more pwerful under his leadership, and for that, he failed as a Conservative President.

    That was his major failing. He started becoming too progressive.

  • insideguy

    There are less government workers under Obama than there were under Bush. If by your logic the democrat congress were responsible for the collapsed economy, should not the republican house at least take one third of the credit for the stagnant economy since the beginning of 2011? This is a bogus argument.

    Yes I never worked for the tribune company and the two stations that they own in the Indianapolis market. I never was a head editor for a production house in Los Angeles. I have never worked on and been featured in major documentaries, one one which was broadcast on national cable. I couldn’t tell you the difference between Beta, digibeta, dv, half inch, or quarter inch video tape. I couldn’t tell you how to operate a switcher or the difference between Avid, Media 100, Final Cut, Premiere, or the workings of a video toaster. You got me there.

    Also if someone accuses you of not having a “real” show, its best not to correct them by saying the words cable access.

  • Mari2JJ

    Well, we all know and sadly experienced just how ineffective the Bush Cheney duo mucked our country,  Two off budget wars, one where not a sould was involved in 9/11 and that is the war the the Cheney Bush administration started with.  Iraq was always on their minds and wasting all that money on Iraq made Afghanistan efforts so weak that Bush and Cheney handed ovder that war to Obama.  Cheney has no appreciation for truth telling and our party needs to let him know that we do not welcome his fibs.  Republicans do not need such a blow hard trying to remake the actual history of their own failure.  The worst choice for Veep for Gw was Cheney himself.  He is an absolutely evil person that cares less about our country and our party also.  GW could have done very well without Cheney.

    You forgot the two off budget war disasters that GW presided over.  The perps were from Afghanistan so he invaded Iraq.  And Bush left the Afghanistan perp living so Obama had to get him and take him out.  Nothing like the hapless administration of our guy.  Trying to make a silk purse of of that sow’s ear is a hopeless task.  The facts are there for all the world to see!  And GW was not a good President.  Trying to convince anyone that he was is just silly and an untruth!

  • Mari2JJ

    Actually I know just how Cheney feels.  I remember being thoroughly disgusted with the GW administration when they invaded Iraq instead of Afghanistan where the 9-11 perps came from.  How sad that the GW administration did not get OBL and let that monster hang around instead of holding him accountable for the loss of all those American lives.  But in a meticulously planned raid, Obama made sure the job got done and low and behold, now the perp of 9/11 is gone.   And obviously GW kept saying it did not matter but Obama finally did the right thing and finished the monster off.  The Cheney Bush administration surely mucked that one.  But i can see how GW was constantly led astray by Cheney.
