Dick Cheney: Hillary ‘Might Have Been Easier’ to Work With, Says There‘s ’Probably’ a Liberal Media Bias

Cheney: Hilary Might Have Been Easier to Work With, Says Theres Probably a Liberal Media BiasFormer Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that if Hillary Clinton were president instead of Barack Obama, things today might be different in the country.

Cheney wasn’t too specific, but suggested “perhaps she might have been easier for some of us who are critics of the president to work with.”

“I have the sense that she’s one of the more competent members of the current administration, and it would be interesting to speculate about how she might perform if she’d be president,” Cheney said, appearing on “Fox News Sunday.“ ”I don’t want to be in the position where I’m supporting Hillary Clinton. That might be the kiss of death for her.

Mediaite has the clip below:

Cheney has been all over the news lately as part of an effort to promote his just-released memoir, “In My Time.” Former Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice both fired back at some of the content in the former vice president’s book, saying he had taken “cheap shots.”

In response, Cheney said he takes nothing back.

Host Chris Wallace also asked Cheney whether he thought there’s a liberal bias in the mainstream media, airing a clip from Cheney’s recent appearance on “The Today Show” in which the camera quickly zoomed out to focus on a person holding a sign that said “Investigate Cheney.”

“I think there probably is but I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about it,” Cheney said, noting that there are a “lot of outlets out there now” for conservatives to have their voices heard. “There are a lot of people out there who don’t like me, don’t agree with what I did in public life, disagree fundamentally with my views. It’s OK, it’s democracy.”

Cheney also brushed off a recent claim from Powell’s former chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson that Cheney wrote his book to assert himself so as not to be tried for war crimes.

“Well that’s news to me,” Cheney said. “I don’t pay a lot of attention to Mr. Wilkerson. I don’t know him….I know he speaks out from time to time, and that strikes me as a cheap shot.”

    And why is that?

    Because LIBERAL and NEOCON ideologies fit like PUZZLE PIECES!

    MODERN LIBERALS AND NEOCONS ARE THE SAME THING!

    WARMONGERS!

    Obama arbitrarily starts wars based on “Humanitarian Obligation”, a farce and proven lie as the Arabic muslim Al Qaeda “rebels” slaughter and incarcerate black Libyans without discretion, while admitting that he’s doing it to legitimize the UN, while Bush simply arbitrarily starts foreign wars based on PROVEN LIES!

    The President and VP are NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE while whistleblowers and appointed heads roll!

      Chaney may have had Haliburton but Obama has big unions, Goldman Sachs and other investment banks, lawyers, and eco thugs INSIDE HIS ADMINISTRATION. In 2008, big companies gave the vast majority of money to Obama. In comparison, Bush/Chaney is not near as threatening. Obama surpassed them in terms of corruption.

      Also, Chaney is so much more intelligent than Obama. Obama CONSTANTLY repeats himself and his statements are full of crap (as in he didn’t know how many states there were and said Canada had a president, corpse, etc. etc.) and when he is not repeating himself or saying stupid things, he says AHHH and UMMMMM a lot. Obama the Oracle – NOT.

    You just cannot shut these politicans up even after they leave office. I’ve had enough of almost all of them, on both sides.
    Chaney will say and do anything to justify what he and Bush did. I believe not a word he says. He does though. He wanst to sell a book. Money. Shut up, go home and leave the world a better place and be quiet. No one beleives much of anything you have to say. After all, what else are you going to say? Admit wrong doings? Say you’re stupid or got us into wars with no credible intel?

    Sing your own praises because no one else in their right mind is going to.

    I would have to take hundreds of Xanax to believe Chaney or Bush and I am an Independent. I do think that THEY believe their own lies and will do whatever it takes to justify their wars and actions.

    They attacked the wrong country. Blamed the wrong people. 15 out of the 19 terrorists in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centers were SAUDI. No charges, no investigations and nothing has ever been done against Saudi Arabia. Not even so much as a small sanction. Why? Because of the Oil crisis ( OPEC) which they RULE, in the 1970′s when they refused to give us any oil. Gas shortages everywhere. A quiet secret deal was made with them if they would turn back on the oil production, we agreed that we would leave the House of Saud intact, the Royal Saudi family. We would leave them alone in the then and in future. And we have. Even though they support and fund terrorism against us, every day and all over the world.

    We mess with them in any way, we have no oil, no gas, no nothing and they know it. Usama bin Laden was Saudi, born Saudi and from Saudi Arabia,and a rich Saudi family who supported him and his terrorist activities. All over the World. Saudi terrorists funding.
    Ask youself why? It still continues to this day and rarely do you even hear the word Saudi. They also fund presidential elections and funded Obama, big time.
    Do a little reading and educate yourselves. Iraq and muslim Iraqi’s did NOT attack us. The Saudis did and still do.

      If the environmentalists would let us drill there is enough oil in Alaska and offshore to last us for years and years. Just the threat of drilling would knock the price of oil down. OPEC knows we have a reserve that will outlast theirs and more natural gas they can ever produce.

    It’s amazing how people still refuse to use their brains! Talk about Hillary not having enough time to win the nomination..BS! The nomination was stolen through fraud by the DNC. They even violated their own rules to give Obama votes he was not entitled to. And that isn’t even bringing up the rampant proven caucus fraud. Others talk about how Hillary care was luckily stopped blah blah blah. Look at how it was actually stopped before you compare it to Obamacare. Newt and other criminal Republicans used a version of Obamacare to stop what the Clintons tried to do. The Republicans counter proposal that forced the Clintons to abandon the attempt at healthcare reform was passed by Obama. Written by the same insurance and drug company lobbyists!

    Don’t like Hillary Clinton on issues fine. But when you just follow the old gaurd R’s word for things without using whats between your ears. Then you are no better than an Obamaton. Thats how we ended up with that moron GW for 8 years!

    I have a dream, and in that dream all criminal politicians are made to account for their actions. In that dream GW Bush and Barrack Hussein Obama share a cell in a federal penitentiary for the rest of their worthless lives.

      Cheney’s a deadly serious S.O.B. and I just don’t think he fits the mold of an elitist. Just because he made a name for himself in business and politics doesn‘t mean he doesn’t yearn for the same things we do. I think he tries to take the high road and leave the name calling to goofballs like me. What else do you really need to know about him other than he’s steadfastly conservative in terms of defense, taxes and traditional American values. He’s the last of dying breed.

      I never said that he was an elitist. I said that he was a neoconservative. For the record, he is NOT conservative on defense. Nation building, policing the world, and interventionism are neoconservative views. Neoconservatism came from liberalism. Also, he has a very liberal view on spending. How much did we add to our national debt because of his interventionism? How much did we borrow from communist China?
      Don’t even get me started on the patriot act and the constitution.
      Mr. Cheney may be a lot of things but conservative is not one of them.

    If Hillary had more time in the 2008 campaign, I believe she would have beaten Obama in the Primaries. Towards the end, she (and the stain on America-Bill) stepped up the attacks on his character and background, or lack thereof, but it was all too late in the game.

    If John McCain would have just repeated Hillary’s words and slapped the goat-snot out of him… he may have beaten him. McCain probably would have stunk up the room as POTUS, but compared to what we have…

      You are absolutely correct. Hillarys’ best friend is George Soros & she literally sings his praises & has even given speeches and press releases about Soros. ( c-span.org)
      She also wroteher 78 page thesis proclaiming the goodness & praises of Saul Alinsky.
      Bill Clinton was the first President ever to leave office with so many charges against him.
      LEFT OFFICE WITH BEING CHARGED WITH:
      Dis-barment.
      Lying to a Federal Grand Jury.
      Guilty of Perjury.
      Sued for sex crimes.
      Sued for sexual harassment.
      Failed to earn the respect of the Military who refused to do an about face when he left office & got in the helicopter to leave White House.
      The Star Report we will never see until he has passed away. Even the Democrats were appalled when they read it and they refused to be seen with him unless they could not help it.

      He did indeed leave a legacy of disrespect for the White House, His Office, His family & himself. No respect for his position or this country & it’s people.
      The democrats said ( after reading the report on him) that he was a Rapist roaming the halls of the White House.

      The last thing we need is another Clinton in the White House. Oh…how soon we forget the Clintons.

      Hillary also, if I’m not mistaken, attended the Socialist Scholars Conferences, as did Obama. He attended every single one, along with his leftist friends.
      Socialist have always felt they are better fit to rule the working class b/c of Ivy League educations. Regardless of their grades in
