Dick Cheney Thinks Hillary Clinton Should Challenge Obama In Primary Run
“So far she hasn’t said she would, but I think it’s not a bad idea,” Dick Cheney told ABC’s Jonathan Karl in an interview aired last night, sounding hopeful that Hillary Clinton might run in challenge to President Obama, a move he thinks would “be good for the Democratic party and it might even help the Republicans.”
The former Vice President fancies the current Secretary of State “a pretty formidable individual. And I think she’s probably the most competent person they’ve got in their cabinet,” he said with what ABC called “a Darth Vader Smile.”
He said:
“Maybe if the Obama record is bad enough, and these days it’s not very good, given the shape of the economy, maybe there will be enough ferment in the democratic party so that there will be a primary on their side. I think it’d be good for the country.”
Cheney was otherwise tough on the current GOP field. He accused Rick Perry of using “inappropriate” and “over-the-top rhetoric” in talking about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernake; he offered a warning to Michele Bachmann regarding over-promising on the campaign trail; and suggested that Jon Huntsman‘s views on Afghanistan cut too close to Obama’s, and that his plan to draw-down troops would “be a mistake.”
