(CNN) - Extramarital affairs have sidelined two potential Republican presidential hopefuls in recent weeks, but former Vice President Dick Cheney said the 2012 GOP bench remains strong.
"I know both of those gentlemen, I consider them friends, and I'm sorry to see them in the difficulties they're now in," said in a Washington Times radio interview Monday, according to the National Review, when asked about the recent sex scandals surrounding Nevada Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.
"But I think from the standpoint of the party, we've got some great talent out there, young people coming along that are going to do a superb job. I always remind people that in adversity, there's opportunity," Cheney added.
The former vice president specifically identified Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan of Ohio and former Utah Gov Jon Huntsman - now President Obama's ambassador to China - as potential GOP White House aspirants.
"I think that it's just a matter of time before the party begins to sort of firm up around a few key individuals, and we'll hear big things from them in the future," Cheney said.

That's on consistency with Dick Cheney – he's typically wrong. Has been all along. Keep deluding yourself DICK and your dwindling followers.
lost 2 races in a row......
and since Obama is failing to produce jobs and save homes, he'll be out in 2012.
To make matters worse, Iran and N. Korea mock Obama's weakness on a daily basis while the whole world watches in amazement.
Still delusional after all these years aren't ya Dick. the only depth in the GOP is the level in their septic tank...
I don't see any viable candidtae for 2012 in the GOP. Romney is their best hope.
Wonder why he didn't mention Sarah Palin as one of the great GOP talents out there?
"The former vice president specifically identified Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan of Ohio"
How can he be a Wisconsin Rep. if he lives in Ohio? It is amazing that Dick Chaney still doesn't realize that the majority of the country doesn't care what he thinks.
Gary's Comment is:
I find it odd that in all the time Vice President Dick Cheney was in
office, one never heard much out of his on any subject. Now that he
is out of office, he is up for any and all matters with his personal spin
on any subject. My comment is: Mr. Cheney its too little too late.
"The dark one" has spoken. His kind would be a cruel joke if they were not so dangerous, always looking for somebody else to sacrifice while they lay claim to their "blessings."
"The bench remains strong."
And I remember John McCain saying that, contrary to what was being said, that the economy was strong.
And he calls Ensign and Sandford "gentlemen"? I guess we differ on the definition of a few words.
Poor Cheney! He must feel like someone who has been doused with a bucket of cold water. Terrorism paranoia has now taken a back seat due to political tabloid blitzes. No, no, wait! He should investigage these extramarital overseas trysts. Espionage could be involved. Yikes!!!!!
Wow, a 5 time draft dodger during Viet Nam, supports two adulterers!
"christian" values?
Please explain.
Sorry to see them in the difficulties they are in? If they had been Democrats, he would be all over it saying how it showed this or that about Democrats in general. Things like that always hurt Republicans more, of course, because Republican voters are more likely to not vote for someone based on their private affairs that have no bearing on how they run things.
@ Sarah Palin has never.......
Read a book. I betcha she still doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine was. WINK;)
GENTLEMAN- that's Cheney for you! Was Cheney a gentleman when he wore a "ski coat" visiting a concentration camp last year. Cheney is an embarassment to me
The GOP: the party of NO and the party of hypocrites. They're on track to loose 3 elections in a row. I hope the Libertarian Party steps up to 2nd place.
LOL, don't tell me: Cheney has just identified the next 2 Republicans to have a scandal
Preach on Mr. Cheney, then we can continue to take over the world!!
there are two scales here; one is the growing discontent with the nontransparent and highly questionable competence of Obama; mainly by his supporters...he's losing ground, his approval is in the mid 50's at best, and that's provided by "obama-biased sources."
The other scale is the growing unity of conservatism...not necessarily republicans, but those that want, in summary, for America to remain America...complete with traditional ways of life, values, and morals....
This growth is increasing...
so, the graphs met last week; Conservatism on the rise, Obama on the fall....next week, the spread will be further apart, much to the dismay of Obama supporters.
Cheney is out. No one cares to listening to him, execpt the reporters who want to stir up things.
A Republican says that the Republican Party is strong. How unexpected. *sarcasm*
Well, if Jon Huntsman and Paul Ryan really do have Presidential aspirations, an endorsement by Dick Cheney does them a lot of no good.
Edwards ran for high office while philandering about despite his wife being terminally ill, fathered an illegitmate child, and apparently stars in his lover's sex video - so what's the big deal?
Where does hypocrisy begin and who gets to define it? Not me.
(Clinton wasn't a hypocrit, but at least he was a rapist.)
"Iran and N. Korea mock Obama's weakness on a daily basis"
I doubt you could cite a single example of this. Anyway...I imagine your solution is, simply "invade."
The problem with Republicans is that they do not practice what they preach. They talk a good game on fiscal responsibility however 7 of the 10 worst performing states in terms of deficits and unemployment are states with Republican governors and or legislatures. The talk a good game when it comes to personal responsibility yet dodge accepting responsibility for their actions; Larry Craig and Mark Sanford among others still cling on to their jobs. They talk a good game when it comes to family values but their track record runs in the opposite direction. Between messing around with men or cheating on their wives, they can't seem to contain themselves. Until they can demonstrate their ability to do as they say, no one should support them. They're nothing but shallow, narrow minded hypocrites.
Cheney's endorsement is the kiss of death to a politician. May Cheney continue to be the number one spokesmodel for the Repugliklans, the Party of Extramarital and Gay Affairs, i.e. Gingrich, Guliani, Sanford, Foley, Craig, etc.
The GOP has gone way to far to the Right. They lost me as a Republican when they brought Palin in and she declared that "Iraq was Gods war!" and began calling Obama a terrorist.
The GOP is TOTALLY LOST and the platform deteriorating. Cheney is all for Gay marriage now that his daughter is out. Nancy Reagan supports stem cell research because it may have helped Ronald (I'm a fan of Ron!) and these Senators that EXTOL VIRTUE AND THUMP BIBLES are all having affairs!!!
I'm Libertarian now and not looking back!
The GOP's best hope is to put someone out there NOW who has no history, no skeletons. They need a "new" image – not one that is in the spotlight all of the time. Sorry Palin – there is too much of the wrong news about you.
he always reminds people what?! I thought he always reminds people to cower in fear and relenquish their rights and their cash
How come Five-Deferment Gutless Dick didn't mention the leading member of the Republiturd Brain Trust – Sarah Palin – as a the "Great, white Hope" of the GOP. Notice that none of the potential GOP candidates is a woman or a minority. And, as usual, the GOP is as relevant and modern as kodachrome film.
"Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan of Ohio?" How does that work?
Palin – Bachmann 2012
PLEASE!!
They berayed their spouse, so what? Cheney betrayed the US, so what? Pretty simple, garbage in, garbage out.
Mr Cheney is delusional as usual, no one the GOP puts up in '12 will be taken seriously be the majority of voters. The GOP has lost all legitimacy and forfited thier right too govern. They simply are not trustworthy
What is so ironic, it is precisely because of Mr Cheney's arrogance and imcompetence that no one will trust the the GOP to govern for quite awhile.
Men who cheated on their wives judged by a man who cheated on his country. I'll take the former, please.
"Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan of Ohio"
Editor! Is there an editor in the house?!?
If by 'strong' you mean filled with people just as crazy as Darth Cheney.
I can't understand when any GOP member is being mentioned about their wrong doings and how they were caught. Some idiot from that party never fails to bring President Obama into the mix. I feel that they are so hopeful that Sarah Palin will turn their party around which is the joke of the century. She was the reason that McCain couldn't win the Presidential election ; because, of her unintelligence.
The GOP is a group of talking heads! They will say and do whatever they think will get them elected!
To make matters worse, Iran and N. Korea mock Obama's weakness on a daily basis while the whole world watches in amazement.
____________________________________________________
You really aren't informed at all are you? THE WHOLE WORLD LOVES OBAMA YOU IDIOT. Because he is the most intelligent president EVER!!!!
Why can't Cheney just go back to his undisclosed location and just stay there?
I thought the Democrats were the party of affairs. Between the Kennedies, Hart, Clinton, Edwards, ... (shall I continue?).
After hanging Bill Clinton in 2000, Republicans look silly right now. All I can say is hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
All these Republican sex scandals and affairs just remind us of what a party of hypocrites and liars the Republican Party is today. Here are people trying to deny equal marriage rights to gays and lesbians while they are out cheating on their wives right and left. Disgusting.
As long as you're speaking for the party, Dick, everything will be just golden.
Oh no..... NOT YOU Mr. Cheney
Phhhhhhlease, not you AGAIN. When will you stop, SIR?
"at least they arent tapping toes with Larry Craig"
this is all the GOP has
Cheney and the GOP suffer from PEST, post election stress trauma, seek help!
Yea. The problem is that they've kicked out every possible moderate in GOP. So the reamaining are far right and they will vote any GOP candidate. But unfortunately, the remaining are 30% of total population that can never get any GOP candidate elected into office.
I'd really like to know if these people who claim to know what the whole world thinks went out and polled everyone in the world to find out what they think? Try getting out of the U.S. and seeing what the world REALLY thinks.
Well just because this guy says it doesn't make me inclined to believe it. Dick "they'll greet us as liberators" Cheney's powers of prognistication have always been on a par with his aim!
Interesting. How does an unviable party field viable presidential candidates?
I guess it depends on the meaning of "viable". . .
Diane writes: the GOP is as relevant and modern as kodachrome film.
HEY!!!!!!! kodachrome was GREAT!!!!! its depth of color cannot be reproduced digitally!!!! everything else you say is right on!
Man, I pray that he is as right abou that ashe has been about Iraq,Iran,global warming and water-boarding. If so it is Obama all the way baby! Four more years, four more years...

Palin – Bachmann 2012
PLEASE!!
OMG – I hope you are kidding
Does anyone really respect anything Chaney says. He is so out of touch with the world that it's scary.
The Personification Of Evil™ speaks again. Please, can't someone get some holy water or a cross and chase him back to his crypt?
Anyone that criticizes the NK problem obviously hasnt been alive very long, nothing new. Sorry. Try again. As for Iran, yeah too bad we have a president that isnt dumb enough to make the world a worse off place like the last idiot. Keeping in mind even our own elections sometimes resemble Irans.....Remeber McCain rallies? all that was missing was the pitch forks. As for Dick, well, you really have to be quite the trailer trash at this point to agree with anything this clown says. Always wrong just like his followers.
Who cares what Cheney thinks? Let him guide Lush Bimbaugh. Sanford and Palin in 2012!
Why anybody still takes this delusional liar seriously anymore is beyond me.
TCM, you should rush to the ER immediately and have your stomach pumped! I have heard that the delusions you are spewing are just one of the symptoms of overdosing on "Idiocracy pills."
Why ,just why is anybody putting a mike in this guys face ?
If these 2 guys Ryan, Huntsman) are the only examples that Cheney can come up with, then the GOP is in bigger than trouble that I even thought possible.
And I did notice that Palin and Bobby Jindal didn't even register on Cheney's radar. That alone should show people that "the old white guy/buddy system" is still trying to breathe it's last breaths.
The GOP (Getting Over Palin) and Cheney seems to be constantly delusional. Rush is rushing to judgement, and Knewt is forever lashing his tongue at anything that will fly by. But the sky hasn't fallen yet.
Dick doesn't know "dick". Whoever runs against Mr Obama in '12 will be trounced. The vast majority of voters will not trust another republican in the white house for many years.
The republican hopefuls would benefit most from Mr Cheney just shutting up for awhile until the stench from his tenure in office wears off.
if republican lindsay graham says that the republican party is a party of sinners... who am i to disagree.. now all that needs to be done is to deny that party of sinners rights and privelages afforded to all other american citizens.
party of sinners.. check
party of adulterers.. check
party of hypocrites.. check
well it would appear they do not hold the mantleof party of family values after all..
Why doesn't he shut his mouth and go back to Wyoming and sit on Old Faithful.
This Evil doer will say any thing to sound relevant in order to promote his book, where he will carefully explain why is not a criminal: (1)LIE outright to the American people about starting a war in Iraq; (2) torture prisoners of war to try to force them to tell the particular LIE you want to hear, so that you can support the LIE with evidence; (3) divulge the name of a CIA operative, if the CIA operative is female (thus not a “real” operative) and has a husband that insist on informing the American people that you LIED.
The bench may be strong, but what about a platform now that moral values is not an obvious choice for the GOP?
The GOP will doubtlessly be hurt by the sex scandals, especially as "journalists" such as CNN continue their partisan malfeasance.
Here's an idea... the Democrats have repeatedly demonstrated their loathing of the Bill of Rights, and the Democrats are in charge now. Why not dump Freedom of the (so-called) Press? CNN, CNS, NBC, NY Times, AP, etc. are so in the tank for Obama that their whole operating budgets should be declared as political contributions.
And yes, I would also apply the same standard to Fox News. Unlike liberals, I believe in fairness.
protect the sanctity of marriage.... ban republican marriage
Glad to see the former VP still in the spotlight. He's selfishly served this great nation for over 30 years and still keeps sharing his wisdom and experiences. Thank you, Vice President Cheney.
We expect our public officials to behave and adhere to a higher moral and ethical standard. I don't see how the recent events of these Republicans cannot help but cast a even deeper picture of a political party in severe jeopardy. Mr. Cheney is very out of touch. I noticed he is not chastising verbally. This is so "Republican." Even Republican's on the Sunday talk shows never came out with verbal distaste. Now, if we had Democrats getting caught, it new media would never stop. Recently the Southern Baptist Convention made mention that they had aligned themselves far to close with the right-wing Republicans. People make mistakes. But I don't want my elected officials to cheat on their wives or tell lies to their constituents. Mr. Cheney is not making sense. Every time he opens his mouth, he spews forth garbage into an already declared unhealthy planet.
hey why isnt the SC governor being impeached? Remember the Rush Limbaugh Party setting the bar for that? im surprised this time the scandal is a heterosexual one.
@Sarah Palin has never....... June 29th, 2009 4:51 pm ET
lost 2 races in a row……
WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS ?...HORSE RACING?
and since Obama is failing to produce jobs and save homes, he'll be out in 2012.
FUNNY, I THOUGHT WE GAVE OUR PRESIDENTS A 4 YEAR TERM, NOT 6 MONTHS
To make matters worse, Iran and N. Korea mock Obama's weakness on a daily basis while the whole world watches in amazement.
HOW MANY iRANIANS PROTESTED IN THE STREETS DURIN G BUSH'S 8 YEARS IN OFFICE.
"Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan of Ohio" ... Did Wisconsin recently conquor Ohio? What did Wisconsin do an endo round Michigan to claim the Buckeye State? OH THE HUMANITY!
No Sarah Palin? Ha! Ha! Seems like the person who secretly ran the country while Bush was in office is trying to make sure that his beloved GOP will not become a mockery again. If only the GOP knew how to gather support by other methods besides fear mongering.
Don't you wish someone would send these comments to Cheney so he could see just how people really feel about him? He is surround by idiots who only know how to praise him and say "yes, you are great, oh might one!"
Leave Clinton out of this. At least he did not have penetrable sex with her. He was smart, but the republicans on the other hand, they want their cake and to eat it too. They are a bunch of hypocrites.
WHO CARES what the penguin says?
Cheney should know alot about the bench; he was the front player on a 3rd-string team that fooled the morons that vote in this country. That millions would vote again to put 3rd-string [R]s in charge of this country is a sure sign that something has infected the gene pool in this country.
Wow. Cheney is pro-Republican?
Stop the presses. This is a huge news item!
Why is anyone citing an article in the Washinton Times? It is owned by the Rev. Moon of all people. Talk about weird, Moon was booted out of the country for tax evasion. I guess a legitimate paper wouldnt deliver the softballs that Mr. Haliburton could handle.
This clown drinks to much. Repubucants will never see the inside of the white house unless they are invited by President Obama
As Darth Vader begins to line up prospects to be the new emperor, he secretly bemoans the lack of credible candidates. Would Paul Ryan be able to sway others to the dark side? Could Jon Huntsman bite the head off of a Bantha? He thinks that in reality they are as clumsy as they are stupid. They truly do not know the power of the dark side of the force and would be as weak as the previous paduwan John McCain.
I thought Dick was going to rise to the occasion and run in 2012 since he has all the experience. Instead, he is looking for a sacrificial lamb called Rep. Ryan of Wiscon in Ohio. Wisconsinites are laughing
"I think that it's just a matter of time before the party begins to sort of firm up around a few key individuals, and we'll hear big things from them in the future," Cheney said.
Anybody else thinks this sounds familar...oh yea...
"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." - on the Iraq insurgency, June 20, 2005
Dick needs a new cyrstal ball
Impeach Obama Canada will rise again
And Hate Speech spewing out of liberals in 5.4.3.2.1..........You people are so predictable and you wander why Obama gets so much beef from republicans.....We will treat the Messiah the same way you treated GW and show the respect you pathetic losers showed GW for the last 8 yrs......Isnt karma beautiful.....
I don't know, I can't see the fanatical GOP base supporting anyone other than Palin.
The Dems and libs love Sarah Palins because there gfs or wifes are fat ugly they have nothing better to look at
Focus on the rising stars and pay no attention to the scary man behind the curtain – - who cares what this guy thinks?! Don't forget Mark Foley (scarecrow – no brainer e-mails to young boys) and Larry Craig (Cowardly Lyin' who pled guilty hoping noone would notice his men's room crap-dancing) - their scandals were not so long ago. At least Sarah can say, "there's no place like Nome"
RUSH for president 2012. Can't beat that! All others fall in line behind Rush; he is the leader and they all must do as he say.
Right... .just like the fundamentals of our economy were still strong when we were headed head first into a Depression because he was one of the GOPers sticking his head in the sand.
"CNN continue their partisan malfeasance...."
It's not CNN's fault that the Republicans run on "family values" and that it is Republicans who fail miserably at living those self-same "Family Values!" Reporting the facts is not partisan!
As for Iran & N Korea: problems too tough for Bush/Cheney to solve so they just passed them on ... It was Bush that took a shoe toss (2 in fact) in Iraq – the country we died to make independent!
The best Republican candidate in the 2008 presidential election was Cheney himself but lack of self confidence pushed him out. Haliburton is waiting for him. This guy is a disaster. He has american blood in his hands.
Would Mr. Cheney please return to his 'undisclosed location' and stay there.
And I'm sure in Cheney's delusional mind that if he campaigns for Republicans in 2010 and 2012 that means more GOP victories.
Libs - don't you get it yet...Cheney wears your petulant scorn and irrational acrimony as a badge of honor...now go back to your lollipops and talking unicorns.
Who in the heck would take CHENEY'S advice about anything. OH yeah a brain dead republican.
The Republican Party seems to have a Whack-A-Mole game. They keep popping in moles who get whacked. Palin popped up and then proved to be all fluff without substance. Ensign has self-destructed. Sanford has self-destructed. Jindal got whacked when he made Al Gore look like he was Mr. Excitement. The unlicensed plumber has disappeared. What's left seems to be the disgraced Newt Gingrich and the ex-drug addict with a radio audience and a high-school education.
GOP4Life,
"Preach on Mr. Cheney, then we can continue to take over the world!!"
_____________________________________________________
That is excatly what is wrong with the Republican party, "take over the world?"
You cant even keep your politicians in line, straying to Argentina, public bathrooms, hitting on pages, wearing diapers for hookers.
And you're going to take over the world.
Why don't you nasty little kids let the grownups do the legistlating.
How come the GOP confronts 'difficulties' the Dems are just involved in sex scandals? He seems to sugar coat it as meaningless . Such hypocrites.
How would anyone pays attention to Cheney with so much darkness surrounding him and so much blood on his hands!
Do you expect us to listen to Dick Cheney tell us his mantrams, and his predictions? He is one of the main causes of the fall of the GOP. It like asking the fox, if there are going to be less trouble finding food when he has his eyes on every chicken in the neighborhood! Don't ever ask a crook for his ideas of how to find another crook. He will just give you a 'jive-story', thats all. I don't think that the GOP is really wanting to know from Dick Cheney about the progress of the GOP after all he almost demolished it himself.
Somebody send this guy a dose of reality. He should be dressing in a clown costume. He wont read this or other postings, he dosent care what people think.
wishful thinkin mr. it's all for HAVE it!
Dear CNN poster/moderator, whoever you are, you are doing a GREAT job today! Kudos to you. You are on your game for sure. Have a good day...!

You wish! Just keep telling yourself that, LOL!
Did Ohio invade Wisconsin while I wasn't paying attention? Who knew!
Cheney has just doomed Paul Ryan & Jon Huntsman. Sorry guys-Cheney has crawled out of his hole again.
This man is the image of everything that's wrong in both state and federal politics. I have yet to hear Steele, or any other GOP leader saying that Cheney isn't the compass of a new, improved republican party. That's just it, the republican party is shopping for a new skin, except the new skin has a zipper on it. I can't trust a cow who's trying to light up a USA tobacco product, even if it's FDA approved.
His picture makes me sick.
With like Chenney leading the GOP, it might be better that the party stays under a rock – say for another 20 years.
This holier-than-thou party needs to seriously do a complete rethink. At the present juncture, they are absolutely useless – even as some kind of opposition to the Dems.
What a waste!
ABMiller: We don't need lollipops and talking unicorns, doofus! We won! You guys are dinosaurs!
Or hasn't Free Republic reported that, yet?
The sound of the GOP kicking and scratching from inside the casket.
America has loudly said - Enough!
GOP/RIP
Wow, Cheney – you sure don't understand what reality is, do you? So it is ok, for Gov Sanford to walk off the job for several days? That's the kind of republicans that you want in your party?
Oh brother .... instead of talking about working to right the wrongs of our current situation...aka the MESS THIS COUNTRY IS IN ...all these
people can do is talk about what they're going to scheme in 2010 or 2012 to try to get back into power. HAVEN'T YOU ALL DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE ALREADY???! How bloody much more plundering can you
possibly do ???????? I hear more out of Cheney ("Dr. No") now than
I ever did the eight [dark] years of the BUSHwhack administration. NO SANE PERSON with any lick of sense wants to hear your ramblings anymore. GO HOME ALREADY !!!!
Who is this Man Speaking ?
Why is this Man Speaking?
What is this Man Speaking?
What basis does this man has, to speak?
When Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Bill Clinton and John Edwards, LIED to their Wives…… No Body Died or was Injured.
When Bush and Cheney Lied about WMDs of Iraq…… 4,300 US Troops Died, 45,000 US Troops Injured, 100,000 Iraqis Died.
Cheney is a Criminal, He has no Basis to Defend others or Comment on Others’ Acts.
Unfortunately, he could be right. Remember, they didn't have a viable candidate in 2000, but they didn't let that stop them from taking the White House.
The next Republican president we're going to get is now only about 10 years old . I quess that's what Cheney means when he says there's lots of young people out there. A generation or two of Americans has to die off before Americans will put another Republican in the White House. Most adults are not even going to forget what they have done to our country. our lives and our future.
Why is this abomination in the news? Who cares what this dinosaur thinks.
With the clueless old rich white guys that the GOP has on the sidelines, they will be riding the pine for a decade. I hope the bench is heated.
Well, here's loudmouth Cheney talking again. Keep yapping, loser. The democratic party is laughing all the way to the voting booths.
It 's quite obvious that DICK doesn't know DICK about much of anything ... his party's future is no exception! Mrs. Cheney rests assured that DICK would never committ adultery because other having the first name, he's lacks the requisite functional equipment!
Cheney had "other priorities" during Vietnam that kept him from combat. Just like hypocritical scumbag social conservatives are "gentlemen". Who put that pacemaker in? That's the guy whose fault this all is.
Mr. Cheney should take some of his "horny" friends hunting with him. Just possibly, and accidently of course,,,,the ex V.P. could stamp out some of the extra-curricular activities the good old GOP boys seem to find themselves doing,,,,,quite frequently,,,might i say.
Obama is no fool! Huntsman is his ambassador to Beijing. You need to scratch that name off your list...DICK!
wasn't sanford the one that wanted to impeach president clinton for what he did,which president clinton admitted he did not have a sexual relationship with monica. so why is mr.sandford not resigning? HE HAD AN AFFAIR SO WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
HERE IS A SCANDAL...
BARACK OBAMA has come out AGAINST the overthrow of the LEFTIST in Honduras. Only Cuba and Venezuela came out against the over throw of the leftist president. The Honduran president was trying to pull a Chavez and make himself the president for life. Removing all limitations.
Barack Obama will one day try to remove limitations as well.
It is UNHEARD of in US history that the sitting president would stick up for a LEFTIST regime.
What is the problem with Barack. Why do people call him a socialist.
Look at who he sticks up for and what he does.
He is a terrible person trying to increase the welfare rolls of the country.
"Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan of Ohio"
Dear CNN: Representative Ryan represents Wisconsin, not Ohio.
@ryan indy
after 9/11 bush had a 90% approval rating, you totally ignore this
Democrats over and over rolled over and went along with Bush's lame no progress agenda and war funding, you totally ignore this.
You act like a 6 year old with your "you were jerks so I'm going to be a jerk too" attitude.
If you represent or are a follower of the Republican party you give Americans a great reason to question why we even need a Republcian party in America and why we should vote your kind totally out of existence after that we can rightfully ignore your kind.
And "We'll be greeted as liberators," right, Dickie?
@blackstone June 29th, 2009 5:49 pm ET
Cheney had "other priorities" during Vietnam that kept him from combat. Just like hypocritical scumbag social conservatives are "gentlemen". Who put that pacemaker in? That's the guy whose fault this all is.
-------------------------–
Who put that pacemaker in?
Government provide healthcare...that's who!
Thanks Dickey for shedding light in to this dark days of GOP. You always tell the truth. It was your forthcoming with American people that got us rightfully into Iraq to pevenet a mushroom cloud.
Too bad Obama stopped looking for WMDs. I am sure they are there somewhere. You are always right.
Can you also explain why a war criminal like you is still walking free?
Dick Cheney is another man who just ride into the sunset gracefully, who is he anyway?
Who wants to get political advice from a man with a 13% approval rating?
CNN
Lets talk about Barack.
WHY does the president of the US stick up for a leftist regime.
Why does he appear to back and build on a socialist agenda.
Why does he break the country and its economy trying to build a welfare class of people.
Why wont someone tell the truth and say it is time to cut spending.
You are ruining the currency and the monetary base of the country.
OUR US FED is printing money and they are breaking the banks.
We are heading down hill people.
@Mark in Miami
Thanks for your obvious sarcasm.
BARACK OBAMA has come out AGAINST the overthrow of the LEFTIST in Honduras.
--
Dear Matthew: You are obviously a moron (not surprising given that you are a Republican). Obama said that the coup d'etat was no legal. Maybe your small mind has a hard time trying to comprehend this point but the US always sides with DEMOCRACY rather than with a military dictatorship. I hope that one day, you can get finish your high school education so points like this are not lost on you.
Too bad Cheney himself doesn't run. He would be an excellent President as he was an excellent Vice-President and we will really need someone like him to clean up the mess after Kommandant Obama gets the boot.
I have to say from a "liberal-democrat" point of view; i'm really dissapointed with a lot of the comments here on this page. What happend to having some "class"? that's the reason I label myself Democrat; why does it seem we need to kick the GOP when they're down....keep in mind that the Combination of the GOP and Democrats (along with the other parties) help keep us in a balanced mentality which is healthy for this country....I'm tired of this stupide Civil war between the two major parties....you all sound like kids sometimes...I'm A DEMOCRAT because I got "class" and I act like i have a momma...some of ya'll should do the same...
Why is the President of the US only one of three countries including CUBA and VENEZUELA that are against the overthrow of the Honduran President a Leftist Communist.
Why does Barack support a leftist communist.
Why does Barack support someone who is changing the rules in their constitution to dissolve all term limits.

HERE IS A SCANDAL…
BARACK OBAMA has come out AGAINST the overthrow of the LEFTIST in Honduras. Only Cuba and Venezuela came out against the over throw of the leftist president. The Honduran president was trying to pull a Chavez and make himself the president for life. Removing all limitations.
Barack Obama will one day try to remove limitations as well.
It is UNHEARD of in US history that the sitting president would stick up for a LEFTIST regime.
What is the problem with Barack. Why do people call him a socialist.
Look at who he sticks up for and what he does.
He is a terrible person trying to increase the welfare rolls of the country.

Turn off Rush and read a book.
Start slow with something like a comic book
and take lots of breaks...don't want to see you hurt that little brain of yours.
Hey Dickie Baby,
We'll be glad to hear from them if we never have to listen to you again.
Wisconsin Rep Paul Ryan of Ohio? What's up with that idiot?
Yea DICK... it's a matter of time alright. Decades... many decades!
so how long till these two are caught doing something untoward?
"What happend to having some "class"? that's the reason I label myself Democrat; why does it seem we need to kick the GOP when they're down"
If you've been paying attention the last several years, you would have noticed that Democrats have no class.
You kick the GOP because hatred is all you know.
FactCheck.
You will always and forever apologize for Barack, just as many will always apologize for Chavez and Castro.
You can call it how you want but the fact is the man is BACKING a leftist socialist.
Chavez ran a nice election as well, that does not make it legal.
You of ACORN faith should know that better than anyone.
Factcheck needs a reality check.
It has nothing to do with being republican or democrat. It has to do with overthrowing a dictator.
Sure.....the GOP has a DEEP bench.............in nutjobs!!!
Cheney....you draft dodging hypocrite.......go crawl under a rock.
You also told us before the 2004 election that the Iraqis had 20 divisions of troops ready to take over.......and what happened???
You are a liar and a sleaze..........which means you should run for the GOP presidential spot in 2012....if you aren't dead or in jail.
I've heard more from Dick Cheney since he became EX-Vice President.
I'm about 100% sure that any potential Rebublican candidate has enough of an uphill battle....without the added burden of Cheney's endorsement!
This man is probably in the top 10 of U.S. criminals of all time – and should be doing time, right now!
Why is he talking now? I heard him more now after he becomes the Ex-VP. It must be for his new book. America! Don;t buy his trash! He was wrong while he was in office and he is dead wrong now. How can he expect people to lisen to him after what he has done! By the way, Dick, please ask your daughter to shup up too!
I wish Govenor Huntsman would run... An environmental minded, fisically conservative, moderate Republican. That's something even I, a relative liberal, could get behind. Hell, any man who can change liquor laws in Utah despite all the mormon opposition must be doing something right.
For once I agree with the Republicans. Dick Cheney IS good for America. He keeps reminding us of why we didn't vote for Republicans in the last two major elections and why we don't want the GOP to lead this country. Keep it up Dick, you and Rush are doing a bang up job to keep the Democrats in power.
Why in the world does anyone still care what this guy thinks ? GO AWAY.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have a new village idiot.
I'm wondering, after all of Cheney's antics over the past 9 years or so, why are we still giving him an open mic? We could not wait to get him out of office......why are we listening to him now?
I'm baffled by the media's continued coverage of Dick Cheney. He had his 96 months to get it right. Virtually every time he and his puppet GWB came to a fork in the road they took the wrong path. In a tenth of that time, Barack Obama has made enormous progress correcting those missteps and repairing our damaged relations with the rest of the world. No doubt he will make a few wrong turns as well but so far he's shown he has the potential of being one of our greatest presidents.
Historians may not rank GWB as the worst president of all time (there are probably a half dozen who rank below him) but no one can deny that in Bush and Cheney, we had the all time worst Pres/VP team in our nation's history.
Advice to the various media: Cheney is (happily) yesterday's news. Find someone else to cover.
