What Is Dick Cheney Thinking? Peggy Rometo Speaks

Peggy: He feels Obama’s policy is lax, and that the current administration will undo all his good work and leave our country wide open to threat. He sees them as blind: literally, the blind leading the blind. He likes Obama personally, and finds him a formidable political adversary. But he feels he’s opening us up to danger by being too soft and, worse, allowing the perception that we’ve gone soft. This makes Cheney nervous, and it makes him angry. He feels that Obama is a popular president, rather than the president we need at this time: unpopular, but strong.
wOw: If Cheney had been in power for the duration of the financial crisis, what would he have done differently?
Peggy: He would have moved more quickly by enacting legislation that would keep the crisis from unraveling as fast as it did. He would have pushed through bills instantly, as he did with the Patriot Act, which would have saved the banks and the auto industry — and, most likely, continue to disguise the true status of our economic conditions.

wOw: Does Liz Cheney, an outspoken defender of her father, aspire to political office?
Peggy: She’s hopeful she’ll be able to stand on her dad’s shoulders and rise to the top. Right now, she’s looking for a way to be groomed; helping him write his memoirs is a means to that end. She’d like to work in the White House one day.
wOw: Will she realize that goal?
Peggy: Yes, but not quite in the way she imagines. She wants power, but is more inclined to be with the people. She’s dedicated, courageous and gifted with the written and spoken word. She feels compelled to help individuals realize what they should think; she feels they don’t know all the facts, and it’s her job to tell them. My sense is that she and her dad are masterminding the best political path for her future, which may include making a bid for the Senate within the next two to four years. If she stays on her current path, she’ll likely win.
wOw: How will history treat Dick Cheney? What will his legacy be?
Peggy: Ten years from now, historians will say that Cheney was ruthless in his dedication to preserving America’s causes at all costs. I think the American people will continue to remain divided over his actions. Some will say that his ruthlessness caused him to cross a humanitarian line, rendering him similar in nature to the Jack Nicholson character in the film "A Few Good Men." Others will see him as vindictive, jealous and angry that not everyone backed his policies. And those from a military background will praise his strong leadership style during a time that the nation was threatened, and champion him as a leader who kept America safe.

Cheney is a strong and intelligent man that has stepped up to the plate and did what was right for this country, regardless of what the naive and clueless believe.
He is speaking out now, because Obama the naive has almost screwed up too many times on the defense of our Nation. Obama is all about the political polls and bends with the wind to save his poll numbers. Cheney will not this inept and inexperienced President throw this country into further harm.
Cheney is in NO danger himself. There will nothing done by the Obama administration over this ridiculous waterboarding of just THREE terrorists. Obama knows that it WAS legal, it WAS approved by over 65 members of Congress and that any more BS about it will just waste time and create havoc during a very real time of danger in this world.
Cheney doesn’t want for all of this hoopla over NOTHING to lead to further solfening and enabling of terrorists in this country or in detention. Cheney knows.
Obama doesn’t.
Cheney will not sit by and watch this country and its citizens be put directly in harms way.
Obama will.
The day will come when Obama will see the errors of his idealistic ways….
….after his Presidency has run its course.
Kelly in Texas….your not well inform. Cheney HAD his opportunity to speak up. Where was he all those years? Now, he’s got the loud mouth daughter speaking all over the place, who’s next? wife, grandmother. Excuse me….he had his turn and did nothing only to secure himself with his private company how disingenuous of him. George W. Bush and Cheney put this country where it is today. It’s unacceptable how they turned a blind eye when top CEO’s were filling their pockets as they were walking out the door. Where was our leadership then?
Hello SG:
I beg to differ. I believe that Chenney is a true patriot, who loves this country very much.(unlike alot of lefty liberals who are wringing their hands trying to figure out why the MUSLIM TERRORISTS hate us so much, it must have been something we did, or so the America-haters think) But I digress —Chenney truly believes that America needs to be protected. And so do I.
So BO can bow to Arab kings, but its not gonna make them love America. They hate us because of who we are, and that is nover gonna change.
Cheney is definitely a strong, thoughtful man. His fears that President Obama appears "soft" to the rest of the world is a concern of mine. We should all be mindful of the fact that Al Qaeda with their sleeper cells of terrorists in the United States are just waiting for the right opportunity to devastate Americans once again.
I’m glad Cheney is speaking out. It proves how serious he is about the safety of our country. He knows President Obama arrived at the White House with no experience….and that, in itself, can retard his ability to get serious about potential terrorist attacks.
The Middle East respects strength in a country. When President Obama apologized for America he must’ve made their day.
How do you figure he kept us safe when 3000 people died on 9/11 because of the incompetence of GW Bush who was warned something would happen and who ignored the warning? And then Cheney the puppet-master trumped up false intel on Saddam and the non-existent Al Qaeda link, WMD’s and yellowcake ore and got us into a war that should never have happened. The Bushies created more terrorists that we now face than there were before 9/11. Yeah that s.o.b. sure kept us safe. And in the process killed over 4200 Americans and who knows how many Iraqis. The man is a monster. Ronny Reagan at least got one thing right when he called Cheney and this ilk "the crazies in the basement." Direct quote that.
f p,
Did Bill Clinton, a democratic president keep America safe in 1993 when the World Trade Center was bombed? No, so why didn’t he?
Did Bill Clinton, a democratic president keep America safe in 1995 when Timothy McVeigh bombed in Oklahoma City?
No, so why didn’t he?
The terrorist attack was an unprecedented multiple attack on the United States. Since that time we have not had another terrorist attack. Thank you George Bush and Dick Cheney.
When President Obama is faced with a multiple attack from "sleeper cell" terrorists right here in the United States and he doesn’t stop it before it happens, what will you say then? Will you call Obama a son of a bit**, too?
Deber….right on girl!!! clinton had the chance to get bin laden….but he was too busy diddling in the WH….just google "while clinton diddled" and read all five pages of what clinton could have prevented….now that will make you very disgusted.
VP Cheney is doing what he feels is needed to wake up the obamaco and make them realize we are not safe with obama’s plans…..it was joey biden who said "grid your loins"…..he knows it too…and now that he released where the bunker is to hide out in, where will joey go….you just can’t make this stuff up!!
