President Bush explained to Sean Hannity why he won't criticize Obama, but as you can tell from this older article, Dick Cheney has no compunctions.

Hours before Obama is set to give the primetime speech, Cheney delivered a prebuttal of sorts before the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute. Cheney said he hopes Obama emerges with a "forceful" military plan for the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. However, Cheney also indicated such a move would be a "dramatic departure" from the president's record.
"In a few hours we’ll hear what he has in mind for the terrorist onslaught currently in Iraq. We can hope for — and we should look for — signs of a forceful, bold, and immediate strategy to defeat ISIS. We can say already, however, that such a plan would mark an abrupt and dramatic departure from his rhetoric thus far," Cheney said.

Flash forward 7 years, if I was to post some shit Biden said about the then current foreign policy, then you might have a point and it would be equally stupid on my part.

1. I have posted on the internet since the mid 90s. I have read every snotty thing posters can say to me.
2. I have vast interests. But I also shun things a lot of the times since I know nothing about those topics.
3. The internet traffics generally in politics, this is like shooting fish in a barrel to me.
4. Other issues are slavery. I long ago got pretty well versed on that topic.
Anyway, just a hint. Speak in more than one line or several words. It will improve your image.

Islamic State (which is also known as ISIS and ISIL) has made rapid and surprising gains in Iraq and Syria over the last year. The jihadist group recently beheaded two American journalists and is threatening to conduct still more violence against the West.
Though the White House has touted U.S. efforts against ISIS thus far, Cheney said Obama was pursuing "utterly failed" policies that were "willfully blind" of what is needed to maintain U.S. security. Cheney, a frequent Obama administration critic, blasted the president for allegedly reducing the scope of the U.S. military in particular.
"This is the most critical measure that we can apply to the president’s remarks today: Any serious strategy has to include a major new commitment to restoring our nation’s military preparedness," he said. "We're nearing a crisis point in the decline of American military power; it has to be addressed and right away."
Cheney also accused Obama of taking credit of the security policies implemented under Cheney's former boss, then-President George W. Bush.

Iraq 'a Grave and Gathering Danger,' Bush Tells U.N.By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2002 – President Bush called Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq a "grave and gathering danger" during a speech today to the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
Bush said the world must make a choice between fear and progress. He said the United States will take action against Saddam's brutal regime and urged the members to help. "By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand," Bush said. "And delegates to the United Nations, you have the power to make that stand as well."
Bush said terrorism is the greatest threat to world peace today. He said outlaw groups and outlaw regimes follow no laws of morality and have no limit to their violent ambitions. He said the terrorist threat is in many nations, including the United States.

They (he means Colin powell) picked the evidence that supported their premise and disregarded the evidence that did not.
Peter1469 who was there, corrected your comments on Iraq.

Kiss Colin Powell for overselling WMD to the UN. And bless his heart, he also claimed to have spent a week or more at the CIA looking over their proof.

Obama is is highly credentialed and I would not call him smart either.

I'm a conservative so I would choose bush over Obama every time, but neither of them were good presidents.

If you mean Bush does not rank in the top ten, I agree. But he is smart.

Reagan is the countries best ever president. Over Washington and Jefferson, etc.
