Cheney: President Obama Would 'Rather Be On The Golf Course' Than The Situation Room

[big_dog]

Source: Business Insider

Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has strongly criticized President Barack Obama for going golfing immediately after delivering a statement on the beheading of American journalist James Foley. "Every day we find new evidence that he’d rather be on the golf course than he would be dealing with a crisis that’s developing rapidly in the Middle East," Cheney declared during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Earlier in the day, Obama took a break from his vacation in Martha's Vineyard to give an angry and emotional speech condemning the jihadist group ISIS and praising Foley's career as a photojournalist. Among other things, Obama called ISIS a "cancer" in the world. According to a White House pool report, Obama then went to Farm Neck Golf Club with former Miami Heat player Alonzo Mourning and others.

Cheney, a Republican and one of Obama's fiercest critics, said Obama should have instead decided to end his vacation and engage the situation. "I noticed the reaction of David Cameron, the British prime minister, when he found out that the individual who apparently did the beheading was speaking with a British accent. He wanted to immediately leave his vacation," Cheney said. "Of course, our president headed to the golf course as soon as he made his relatively, I thought, ineffective statement."

The White House has said Obama's ability to carry out the functions of his office is not affected by his vacation.

1. Now watch this drive!

[merrily]

3. I must have been typing my post when you posted this.

[bjobotts]

20. Obama is bombing the hell out of them and sent troops idiot

The golf course may not be as good as sitting reading "My Pet Goat" while terrorists are driving planes into the WTC and Cheney was in the war room making sure there was no response to the attacks. This war criminal should be in prison and not allowed to speak to reporters of use social media due to being a mass murdering instigator of treason and beheadings who used torture against innocent children...STFU. You created this mess and profiteered from it.

[merrily]

2. You mean, like Dimson?

(Now, watch this drive!)

Of course, Cheney, like Igor, prefers to be in the torture dungeons.

4. Cheney's just peeved

that President Obama didn't immediately go hunting after making his statement and shoot one of his companions in the face.

[LoisB]

5. Is this P.O.S. still in an undisclosed location?

[TRoN33]

23. Three likeliest locations for his lifetime hiding away from the public...

1. Teton Mountain Ranch somewhere near Jackson Hole, Wyoming

2. Blackfoot Mountain, Glacier National Park, Montana

3. Rumors has it there is military-built deep underground bunker (all paid for by taxpayers) somewhere in Pennsylvania's Appalachian Mountains.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

33. "Rumor: there is military-built deep underground bunker ... somewhere in Pennsylvania...."

That is no rumor. You're thinking of Raven Rock.

Raven Rock Mountain Complex

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

If you search for Camp David on the internet, you are bound to stumble across information about the Raven Rock Mountain Complex, also known as Site R. A popular theory floating around is that there is a secret tunnel between Camp David and Site R. I had never heard of the RRMC, so I decided to look into it.

Site R is a deep underground relocation facility for the Department of Defense located in Pennsylvania about six miles from Camp David. It is a nationally critical communications facility and serves as the Alternate National Military Command Center (ANMCC). It is also known as the "underground Pentagon".
....

Bing Maps has a feature called Birds-eye that displays aerial images of a location that were shot from low-flying airplanes overhead. Here are some screenshots from the Birds-eye view of the Raven Rock Mountain Complex map:

46. You must have missed it....

Turns out Cheney's "Undisclosed Location" was Camp David.

That's why Bush never went there.

[LoisB]

52. I did not know that or I forgot. Thank you.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

57. I didn't know they had a skeet shooting range.

[JEB]

6. And you, Dick, would rather be shitting out your mouth

than doing something as useful as feeding the worms.

[still_one]

7. Is this really "Latest Breaking News"?

Why oh why do they keep asking for the opinions of the assholes who were a complete failure?

[ellie]

8. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Gasp
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Oh the irony! I can't even get upset at this asshole.

[Autumn]

9. It's alive. Again.

I'm sick of tax dollars being used to keep that SOB alive.

[SoapBox]

10. Is it too mean of me to actually say...

Just...fucking...die.

[LynneSin]

11. Really? Does Cheney think we are all dumbasses who can't google 'Bush' and 'Golf'

and find a few thousand photos/video/stories about how Bush spent must of his time on the golfcourse.

And I think it's been fact checked to death that Bush spent more time on vacation than any president in modern history whereas Obama has taken the least.

[Dont call me Shirley]

12. When is somebody gonna stick a shoe

in this f'ers mouth!?

[olddad56]

13. and shooter would rather be ordering the US forces to slaughter innocent civilians by the thousands.

isn't this worthless piece of shit retired? If so, why isn't he on a golf course or out shooting his hunting buddies in the face.

Where he really should be is in prison.

[taotzu]

14. Come on Dick

Hey Dick,

How many journalists were killer during your Iraq debacle ? Did you or Dick jr. go after those insurgents ? Come on Dick you can't have things only your way you have to understand the situation. President Obama has cleaned up your mess quite well which you seem to think you don't have to thank him for it and there is some shit happening here at home that deserves more attention than a journalist who knew he was harms way and went anyway. I give Foles a lot of credit but you want to martyr the man for doing his job though it is a dangerous one but that is what he wanted to do with his life. Find something worth talking about Dick like your lies to congress and the American people. It would be nice if you just admitted that you and Dick jr. lied to the world and went to war just make more money for you and your minion.

[EEO]

15. Fascist pig.

[ucrdem]

16. Halliburton shareholders must be getting impatient. n/t

[ThoughtCriminal]

17. Cheney would rather be shooting somebody in the face

[bvf]

30. On an open-carry golf course, just to make things more interesting. <eom>

[Blue Idaho]

18. Power Mad...

So the guy that essentially appointed himself to be the Vice President of the United States and then effectively ran the government for eight years just can't let go of his obsession to be King Dick.

All I can say to that is fuck you Dick - your turn is over.

[cornball 24]

19. CHEEEEEEEEEEEENEEEEEEEEEEEE belongs in Gitmo!

[sinkingfeeling]

21. A situation room for what? Where, Mr. Cheney, was G.W. Bush when all the

world was warning us about a possible attack? Was he ever in a situation room?

[OnlinePoker]

25. He kept playing golf until after the Iraq invasion.

Even Bush said last year that it's good for Obama to play golf because he (Bush) knows what living in the bubble was like.

[yeoman6987]

29. One thing President Bush NEVER does is critizes President Obama

Never! Still a dick but good to see he understands the pressures and the need for Presidents to play golf or get something to do to release some stress.

[Kingofalldems]

39. He sends his boy Cheney to do the dirty work.

[yeoman6987]

40. Maybe

But I think Cheney think Bush is weak and probably can't stand him.

[Volaris]

43. or, daddy is smart enough to know if Jr DOESNT keep his mouth shut, he will likely be locked up....

And told him so in no uncertain terms...

[kelliekat44]

22. Were was Obama right before the Osama bin Laden operation took place?

It's bad PR but it is not performance impairing. Who else knew that an operation had been undertaken to rescue Foley?Obama's MO is to carry on without fanfare and just do his job.

[Thinkingabout]

34. Good thought, proves Obama can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

Looks like Cheney can't drink and touch a weapon at the same time without shooting his friend.

[tartan2]

24. would you just shut up and go away Dickie

and don't forget to take Lynn and Lizzie with you! You have nothing worth while to offer this country.

[deminks]

26. He got OBL, and u didn't, Dick.

Live with it.

[samsingh]

27. much like the reasons for the iraq war, cheney the idiot just makes shit up

[Itchinjim]

28. Just shut the fuck up and die already...

Dick.

[olegramps]

31. I hope that I out live he bastard and I can shit on his grave.

[Roy Rolling]

32. taking the bait

Don't take the bait, friends. Of course anybody would prefer to be on the golf course than monitoring a military kill mission or war tactic. That is what peace is all about.

Only sadistic morons like "Cheeney" get their rocks off killing people and watching it unfold on TV monitors.

It's like the automatic defense the right expects from Obama supporters when they say "he's Muslim!" As if there is something wrong with all Muslims. Or "he's gay!" and expecting a denial when there is nothing wrong with being gay.

So does he prefer a peaceful round of golf to being in the war room? To quote the moron-in-chief..."you betcha."

[Jappleseed]

35. Is this the whole black people are lazy thing?

Even when they work twice as hard as the last guy?

[NickB79]

36. As opposed to clearing brush or shooting guys in the face with a shotgun?

Now those are PRESIDENTIAL activities any red-blooded Murican can be proud of!

[blkmusclmachine]

37. And where was George W. Bush on 9/11???

My Pet Fuckup

[sakabatou]

41. Oh the hypocrisy!

[Rhinodawg]

42. Can anyone shut that asshole up?

[roamer65]

44. Go back to your crypt, Dick!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

45. "Cheney, a Republican and one of Obama's fiercest critics"

Wow,...talk about an inadequate description.

[modrepub]

47. Mr. Vice President...

..STFU

[MoreGOPoop]

48. GFY,

Dick!

[displacedtexan]

49. That evil bastard is itching to admit that he was the real "decider," not the smirking chimp.

Grrrrrrr.

[father founding]

50. Coward

Cheney would rater be in his undisclosed location.

[sawdust]

51. this piece of trash

Should be cellmates with bernie madoff.
Why is he free?

[Skittles]

53. well he would not be human if that wasn't true

but coming from chickenhawk Cheney it sounds ridiculolus

[Thor_MN]

54. Pot, Kettle... Darthy Chenny spent so much time "in an undisclosed location"

that people were starting to wonder if he was still alive...

[7wo7rees]

55. This man is insane and delusional. Period.

[Botany]

56. I'll give it to Dick Cheney and Rove they can lie as easy as they breath

[Terra Alta]

58. how soon Dick forgets

2005 Dumbya fiddled while New Orleans drowned.

So why is it a "working vacation" when Dumbya did it(was on vacation twice as much as Obama) but I guess Obama isn't allowed to have one?

[Alkene]

59. Dick

Cheney.

'Nuff said.

[wildbilln864]

60. why even give that piece of shit any publicity at all? piss on him! n/t

[6000eliot]

61. We get it you evil FUCK, he's a lazy Brown man.

[Uncle Joe]

62. Cheney would rather be in a Spanish Inquisition Era torture chamber but space time being what it is

the best he could do was try to recreate some of that nightmarish, hell while he was in power.

He is an evil. bitter, miserable excuse for a human; full of lies and deceit, surely vinegar must course through his veins to preserve the cabbage; between his ears from total rot.

I have no doubt he must have some redeeming qualities perhaps he bring those up with Satan in due time.

Thanks for the thread, big_dog.

[Amonester]

63. Cheney should be doing a lifetime in a prison cell at The Hague by now.

If the words Fair Justice for all had any real meaning left in these days and age.

Simple.

64. translation: Obama is not protecting my oil companies & their profits in Iraq
