Liz Cheney's 'Keep America Safe' Video Tears Into Obama (VIDEO)

Liz Cheney is stepping even further into her father's shoes as the Republican ringleader for national security. Keep America Safe, a new group launched by Cheney, aims to rally opposition to the "radical" foreign policy of the Obama administration and trumpets the need for an aggressive approach to national security that harkens back to the Bush years.

Ben Smith of Politico notes that the group's formation "marks the end of an unusual partisan truce on America's central national security challenge, Afghanistan."

But this new course doesn't come as a surprise, as Keep America Safe is just the latest jab in Cheney's recent campaigns on behalf of the G.O.P. A New York Times story last month examined her status as a "rising star" of the Republican party, carrying the torch of the Cheney brand.

The mission statement of Keep America Safe touts "an unapologetic approach to fighting terrorism around the world, for victory in the wars this country fights, for democracy and human rights, and for a strong American military that is needed in the dangerous world in which we live." The web video released today to rally support for its cause targets Obama, citing the probe into CIA interrogation abuses and Obama's indecision on Afghanistan as factors in making America unsafe. The video ends with a montage of Obama golfing and vacationing, because, apparently, that's all he ever does.

"Last fall, the American people overwhelmingly rejected a radical foreign policy authored by Dick Cheney that alienated our allies, emboldened our enemies, depleted our resources, distracted our focus and made the nation less secure. The Cheneys lost that debate and their approach was deemed a failure. The Cheneys can continue to focus on securing their sullied legacy if they want to. But, the President will continue to focus on securing the country," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan in response.

Cheney heads the group alongside Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol and Debra Burlingame, the sister of an American Airlines pilot killed on 9/11.

I was surprised that Liz ChainE's blog did not have a section highlighting her daddy's W A R -C R I M E S.... nothing about his secret azzazzination squads (blackwater) either...

If all of the cowards on fox really cared about America's safety, they would be in the active military instead of cowering on TV and critizing others. If they want to be taken seriously, join the military and come out where the purple hearts are made; if not, go away.

I'm glad you said that. Fox noise is nothing but a bunch of chickenhaw­ks!!!!!!!!

A representative of "Keep America Safe" was on with Neil Cavuto yesterday talking about how unsafe we are now with Obama in office. Cavuto asks her what would she say if he were to get re-elected and 8 years from now there were no domestic terrorist attacks (I'm sure he'll get reprimanded by the bosses for that one). Her answer? ...I would say that it would be thanks to the policies and the foundation that Bush laid while he was in office. WTF??? So in other words, Obama gets only the blame if an attack happens, but no credit if it doesn't.

I wonder, is lack of shame and decency a genetic trait in the Cheney family. A regressive recessive... if you will?

[SolarArray]

How much security information was she given by papa? Legal? With the Cheney's one would think all is below board and probably illegal.

[hulagirrrl]

Of course they are upset about the cancellation of the Missile Defense Shield. I bet they are losing a LOT of money on that cancellation, because surely he was to make a profit somewhere. To me all these haws seem to just have been war profiteers.

They are merchants of Death and purveyors of Empire.

Haliburton was to get the NO BID contract on that.

Pull the chain!

Cheney's last name alone is enough for people to reject anything coming from the Cheney's. The women is a "birther." She won't get very far and she is only appealing to the tea-baggers.

[whitegayrepublican]

The best way to keep America safe is by issuing both Bush and Cheesy (& Co.) a one-way ticket to Iraq.

I would have chosen Antarctica 8^)

Think global, act local - ship them off to The Hague.

[keepemhonest]

Thanks! I was looking for free firewood!

I wish I had enough hacker skills to slip into her new website and give it a special grand opening surprise. Nothing really nasty, just a little bug here and a little bug there....like inserting the Aflac Duck with some duck talk or the little Geico guy standing in for Obama --- someething appropriately silly for her silly effort. ahhh well I can fantasize, anyway can't I? .... giggle.

[hulagirrrl]

That would be funny...

Hasn't the passion for national security gone well into paranoia?
Maybe we should just nuke the rest of the planet and be done with it.

[NYCMami]

The crazy doesn't fall far from the crazy tree.

[sheikwil4]

Liz Cheney is a low life scuzbag like her hatemongering daddy.

[lmvd3]

Anything this big mouth has managed to accomplish was solely due to Daddy's favoritism. She never, ever shuts up to accomplish a doggone thing by herself.
