Former Vice President Dick Cheney, battling heart disease, wanted to trade the White House for a less-stressful private life in 2009 but felt compelled to protect Americans against what he considered President Obama's dangerous national security decisions, daughter Liz Cheney said Thursday.

Mrs. Cheney told The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show her father largely was prompted by Mr. Obama's early decisions to attempt to close the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for terror suspects and to announce potential plans to prosecute CIA officials.

"Those two in particular were the ones that made my dad say, 'Wait a minute -- the American people deserve to know the truth," said Mrs. Cheney, who founded the Washington-based Keep America Safe group and openly has considered a run for public office.

She also said her father felt the same way when Mr. Obama announced he would release the details of the Bush administration's advanced interrogation program for suspected terrorists.

"He said, 'That's wrong, but if you're going to do that, then the American people need to know, at a minimum, what we gained from that program,'" Mrs. Cheney said.

7. "...Mrs. Cheney said...." She's married to her Dad?

:rofl:

If "Mrs." is used, I would think it would be more appropriate to mention her husband's name..although she probably preferred to keep the cheney moniker to the name of some undistinguished sperm donor who apparently married her , so she could reproduce in a republican-acceptable fashion:)

11. Was he also he compelled to protect us by.....

starting wars? Making sure big pharma and the energy industry keep their huge profits? Pushing for tax cuts for the wealthy even beyond Bush’s own proposals? Eliminating of a myriad of government regulations, particularly environmental controls, on business. Oh, the list goes on...but you get the picture.
Both Liz and Dick need to crawl into the same hole and stay there.

17. Who made Liz Cheney

and expert on national security. How does she know what goes on in Obama's National Security meetings?

She knows nothing other than the opinions of her father, who also doesn't know what is going on in Obama's National Security meetings.
