Dick Cheney, Asshole of the Day for July 17, 2014
by TeaPartyCat (Follow @TeaPartyCat)
Impeachment has been a hot topic among Republicans and Tea Partiers ever since Sarah Palin said "It’s time to impeach" last week.
But not everyone agrees. John Boehner thinks his little bullshit lawsuit is the right course of action, even though he is ridiculously suing the president for delaying the employer mandate, which House Republicans both hate and even voted to delay for one year themselves.
And then yesterday Dick Cheney spoke up against impeachment, calling it a distraction:
“I’m not prepared, at this point, to call for the impeachment of the President,” Cheney said on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.”
“I think he is the worst President of my lifetime,” Cheney said. “I fundamentally disagree with him. I think he’s doing a lot of things wrong. I’m glad to see House Republicans are challenging him, at least legally, at this point, but I think that gets to be a bit of a distraction just like the impeachment of Bill Clinton did.”"Worst President of my lifetime." There have been 13 presidents in Dick Cheney’s lifetime:
So Cheney is saying that he thinks Obama is worse than Nixon AND George W. Bush. Of course he worked in both Nixon and Bush’s administration, so I guess in his warped view of the world, he thinks they did a good job.
- FDR
- Truman
- Eisenhower
- JFK
- LBJ
- Nixon
- Ford
- Carter
- Reagan
- George H. W. Bush
- Clinton
- George W. Bush
- Obama
Look, if you’re going to say Obama is a worse president than Nixon and George W. Bush, you need to assert how something he has done or hasn’t done is worse than:
But Dick Cheney has no examples that are worse than those things. None. Because there aren’t any. And for that, he is Asshole of the Day.
- Running a criminal conspiracy out of the White House to manipulate the opposing party into choosing the weakest candidate, and then covering it up
- Lying about intelligence to get America into a second land war in Asia
- Letting a crony run FEMA into the ground and leaving people to die after Hurricane Katrina
It is Dick Cheney's fourth time as Asshole of the Day. His previous wins were for
- criticizing Obama for spending “money on Food Stamps than on a strong military or support for our troops”
- saying Hillary was responsible for Benghazi while never holding himself or any member of the Bush administration responsible for any of the attacks on embassies or 9/11 when they were in office
- saying “Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many” regarding Obama and Iraq
