Liz Cheney accuses Obama of abandoning Czechoslovakia, forgets to mention Czechoslovakia hasn't exis - Polidicks

[URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/09/16/liz-cheney-accuses-obama-of-abandoning-non-existent-country-czechoslovakia/"]Raw Story[/URL] [QUOTE]Fox News contributor Liz Cheney on Sunday blasted President Barack Obama with the false claim that he had apologized to enemies of the United States and had abandoned Czechoslovakia, which has not existed since 1992. During a panel on ABC’s [I]This Week[/I], host Jake Tapper asked the daughter of the former vice president if she agreed with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s [URL="http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/09/white-house-disavows-cairo-apology-135247.html"]assertion[/URL] that Obama was “sympathizing” with the people who attacked the U.S. embassy in Libya and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans. “I think he did get it right,” Cheney insisted. “We’ve now had three and a half years of Obama policy and it looks an awful lot like — whether you’re talking about the Mexico City speech in 2009, the Cairo Speech in 2009, the extent to which he’s been apologizing for America, he’s abandoned some of our key allies like Israel, Poland, Czechoslovakia. He’s attempted to appease our enemies, the Iranians, for example, the Russians. … The president himself has got a terrible record on national security, and it’s clearly something that Gov. Romney ought rightly to be pushing.” “I think the governor handled it exactly right when he went out and condemned the embassy statement,” she later added. “I think, frankly, it would be a tragedy for the nation if President Obama is allowed to effectively claim that he’s been a successful national security president. And it would be a tragedy for the nation if the Romney campaign doesn’t push this issue very hard.” Cheney concluded: “But there’s no question but that we’re weaker than we were when Barack Obama took office. And if he has four more years, we may well be unrecognizable.” An Associated Press [URL="http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/national-politics/20120912-fact-check-romney-mischaracterized-obama-response-to-libya-violence.ece"]fact check[/URL] last week determined that President Obama never apologized for the United States or expressed sympathy for the people who attacked the U.S. embassy in Libya. “The claim that Obama repeatedly has apologized for the United States is not borne out by the facts, especially if his full quotes are viewed in context,” [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2011/02/obamas_apology_tour.html"][I]Washington Post[/I][/URL] fact checkers wrote in 2011. “Note to GOP speechwriters and campaign ad makers: The apology tour never happened.” As for the claim that Obama “abandoned” Czechoslovakia, that country was dissolved in 1992 — over 16 years before he took office.

I want to hear more on Obama's policies toward Yugoslavia, though.

I think it's okay to abandon a country that ceases to exist before you take office.

He needs to be more tough with the Ottoman Empire

prussia has been getting away with a lot lately. where does he stand on this

I think hes been far too lenient with Ur

Yeah and Obama should impose sanctions on Kyrgyzstan haha [editline]17th September 2012[/editline] Wait Kyrgyzstan is a real place?!

I hate this, everywhere I go, people think that I'm from Czechoslovakia...

Should probably deal with the Helvatians whilst he's at it.

What a fucking idiot. How do you just [B]forget[/B] that a country's not existed for 20 years?

Don't forget how he abandoned our Thalmor allies.

trust a [I]liberal[/I] to ignore the facts and ignore the persian empire

I'm more concerned about his lack of action over the rampaging Visigoths.

I'm so disgusted at how he has been ignoring Austria-Hungary, clearly not a man fit to be president.

What's more disgusting is how he's treating the USSR. It's like we've forgotten who our mortal enemies are.

I personally take offense to his lack of compassion towards the continent of Pangaea

I want to know where he stands on Viking immigrants

The Mamluk Sultanate seems to pushing our Christian brothers back from the Holy Land! We need more Knight Templars. Oh wait, that was 800 years ago.

i think the way he's acting in the middle east is appalling, he should really tackle the conflict between Babylon and Uruk

I hope he does something about Constantinople. Istambul just isn't what it used to be.

I can't believe Obama's stance on Pangea

-generic joke involving a country/territory that no longer exists-

Obama abandoned Jesus on the cross.

[QUOTE=Pyth;37701200]-generic joke involving a country/territory that no longer exists-[/QUOTE] Pangea. I thought Russia stopped being our mortal enemy 20 years ago.

Obama also supports the torture and slaughter of thousands of Dodo for their fur and tusks.

Tbh I support Obama's policy on the assyrians. There, I said it.

Obama did the Spanish Inquisition Romney 2012

Czechoslovakia isn't a really important ally. I don't think he should bother with it until the Confederates surrender.

Like they'll surrender to a black president.

Obama is too lenient on Tyrannosaurus Rexes, or should I say [I]terrorexes?[/I]
