Liz Cheney Slams Obama On Foreign Policy: "America Needs A Commander In Chief, Not A Global Community Organizer" (VIDEO)

Huffingtion Post   First Posted: 9/3/09 Updated: 5/25/11

Liz Cheney, who has hinted at an interest in running for office, sounded very much the candidate as she gave a speech slamming President Obama's foreign policy at a RedState gathering in Atlanta this weekend.

"Avoiding causing offense to our enemies has become a central tenet of President Obama's foreign policy," Cheney said.

During her speech she criticized Obama for not defending the "brave Iranian men and women" who demanded free elections, and also rebuked him for his handling of the coup in Honduras. These events, according to Cheney, prove that Obama has put America in a "position of weakness."

As for her big final applause line, Cheney signed off by saying, "America needs a commander in chief, not a global community organizer."

Do we really want another Cheney running for anything?? And why have we heard so much from DICK and her after they have left office?? There should be a law that says once you leave office, you have to pull a President Bush and go sit down somewhere. Thanks Cheney, you've done enough...

She is just trying to keep herself and the GOP in the news. Rile up the little base they have left and seriously hope that something Obama does goes wrong so they can just all over it.

America needed a Commander in Chief 8 years ago.

Not a coward who sent real men and women to die, and to commit murder, for his lies.

Liz Cheney needs a real, productive and useful job.

They're hiring at WalMart, Lizzie.

Anything other than an arrogant and holier than thou attitude to the rest of the world is considered weakness by neoconserv­ative Republican­s. It is a shock to them to see a president that actually respects other countries.
