Liz Cheney on Obama's Response to BP Oil Spill: "A Gift for Reading the TelePrompter Is Not the Same as Leadership" (Video)

Liz Cheney on Obama’s response to the BP oil spill:
“A gift for reading the TelePrompter is not the same as leadership.”
Liz Cheney hit this one out of the park this morning on FOX News Sunday:
“You know you’ve got a president who believes that saying something makes it so. You showed it in the last segment when he said he was going to have the most transparent administration in history. But, that doesn’t mean you’re actually going to be open and transparent. It’s not the same thing as we’ve seen with him. On the war, he says he knows were at war but he doesn’t actually understand he has to lead us in the fight… And, going down to Louisiana he says, “Gosh, I’m heart-broken. I’m angry. I’m frustrated.” And then going on vacation to Chicago really doesn’t send a message that this is a man who’s leading… A gift for reading the TelePrompter is not the same as leadership.“

Another great conservative woman!
Where are all the liberal gals?
The one who rose to power behind a philandering husband?
With money from the baby-butchering industry and Saudis?
Those who cannot open their mouths without promising a handout of our tax dollars to some group?
Who put on veils and suck up to terrorists, and claim to be feminists?
Liberal women, with their hyphenated names, purse-holding husbands, and their phony concern.
Liz Cheney is the real thing.

It’s a shame that millions of uninformed Americans didn’t realize the difference between an orator and a leader back in Nov 2008.

non_dhimmie commented:
You mean liberal ladies like Laura Bush…what a disappointment she is…and her two slutty daughters that couldn’t be ladies for a few years.
Had to go for the drunken slut pictures etc.
Laura loves Obama every chance a microphone is put in her face….and the muzzies…..
Just another poser, wish GWB would dump her and get a Jerry Thompson type wife.

I am perplexed that people think that containment and cleanup cannot begin until the “hole is plugged”. Why is that? 1990 OPA made the president responsible for containment and cleanup, not necessarily stopping the leak. The stop the leak technology is best let to those that caused the leak.
But a gallon of oil cleaned up is one less to foul things up.
Just amazing how this is playing out.
sarainitaly commented:
Do you have the video of Juan about to cry and get hysterical because Bill and LIz were discussing the Sestak thing?
I thought he was going to burst into tears trying to defend Obama. I would love the video.

Jaimo commented:
Wow, why don’t we lay off Laura Bush and her children. Those girls weren’t any different than any other girls their age.
The only difference is that the fair and balanced main stream media made sure they got plenty of photos of the Bush girls. I’ve read the same about Chelsea Clinton, so big whoop!
I actually respect the Bush girls a whole lot more than Chelsea, while all the limo liberals spew about doing good for others I don’t actually consider Chelsea’s six figure job on wall street, doing good for others. The Bush girls started out as teachers and not in the best of schools either. They are more credible.
With regard to Laura Bush, she is the consummate lady, not wanting to say a bad word about her husband’s predecessor. I sure wish the Clintons and the Carters had the same class. I wouldn’t have blamed Bush if he’d came out and told Obama in public to knock of the bulls**t.
Sojourner commented:
Liz is the real deal.. as right as rain on this and when she’s ready, for our country. Bless.
Increase Mather commented:
Even the liberal media is beginning to figure out Obama is an empty suit.
Know why he wasn’t vetted by the press…?…There’s no there, there; and the press knew it.
antilbr commented:
Lets see here….look at this reallisticaly…..a date with laura or hillary?answer:laura…..a date with chelsea or anyone of the bush girls?answer:a no brainer any one of the bush girls………Hey #9 our conservitive women are a lot hotter than your libtards…still carry that picture of janet reno in your wallet……LOL!!!!!

We are blessed to hear from this great patriot on Memorial Day weekend… how appropriate!
And the emperor is BUCK naked-

Obama administration: terrorist attacks are “man-caused disasters”
Obama calls oil spill: “manmade disaster”
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/29/president-enraged-latest-failure-stop-oil-gusher/
man-caused = manmade
therefore
religiously movivated terrorist attacks are the equivalent of oil spills
MESSAGING!
SeniorD commented:
There’s no reason to wait to clean up this sordid mess. We should start by cleaning up the Demodonks mess starting in the White House and keep cleaning house until all the corrupt Socialists are scoured clean.

Every day, in every way, ya get’s better and better.
I’d really love to see TOTUS one-on-one in any kind of debate on a level playing field with Liz or Sarahcudda or Ann Coulter. Popcorn and adult beverages for everyone!

You go gurl….don’t look so sad Juan, you know it’s true…

What, you missed Joy Behar? She knows Bush and Cheney did it. Said so on TV. Must be true. It was on TV. [/sarc]
Ladue Pundit commented:
Liz Cheney is right about Obama’s lack of leadership in the war against Islam (that’s what it is).
Obama has stacked his administration with anti-Semites, Muslims, Muslim apologists, and cannot even admit WHO we are in this fight against.
And don’t tell me “all Muslims aren’t bad,” because we are not hearing from or seeing any moderate Muslims. They all read the same Qu’ran, and this war is based on the Qu’ran. Muslims behave very differently when they are in the minority. Look at Europe now compared to 1975.
We are fighting a war of ideals on our own soil and LOSING. Mosque at GZ, Crescent shaped memorial at Shanksville, Muslims in the military killing our troops, “man caused” disasters all.
As long as Obama is in the WH, we will have no patriotic to lead us against the Islamicisation of the U.S. Worse, he is on the side of the enemy.
DocScience commented:
A man with great teleprompter skills might also have excellent powerpoint talent.
Obama needs to fully utilize his talent and start doing presentations,
wanumba commented:
SHe’s good.
Though, have been trying to figure out why Obama has those annoying off beat pauses and is very flat when he talks. It’s because of the teleprompter. Not JUST the teleprompter, though. He obviously doesn’t study ANYTHING. He just shows up and reads. Thus, he doesn’t actually have ANY familiarity with any of the speeches so he doesn’t know when and where to put the emphasis on any given phrase or word.
Never seen such a lazy person get so high up in life. It was eight years of “Bush puppet masters” and here’s a guy who brings ZERO and not a peep about who is scripting him.
KR commented:
Barry says he is not resting until gulf spill problem solved.
Sooo, what has he been up to?

I’ll say it again, Ms. Cheney, I don’t care where you run and what for, I’ll pitch in my meager amount.
Little Orenthal commented:
Looks like BP didn’t stop the ‘topkill’ operation.. Carol Browner the socialist green czar did. She stopped it because she read something on the net about drilling mud being dangerous or something..
These people are dangerously naive and ignorant.. and they’re in charge of the future of our country. Frightening
Finncrisp commented:
Liz is so right, additionally…
The man has no connection to the traditions, honor, and sacrifice that are needed to build a country like no other in the history of this world. He creates narccisstic symbols, uses his own backgrounds, uses pop music instead of “Hail to the Chief”. He does not represent America, period. The larger question is why is the Democratic party continuing to support Barry’s unamerican activities. I realize that Nancy and Harry are truly not the smartest folks ever elected to office, but this is so obvious. You might even say “transparent”.
DavidL commented:
There is an engineering problem on the floor of the Gulf which needs to solved. All Obama is doing is sending in legends of lawyers. The options are lead, follow or get out of the way. The best thing Obama can get out of the way.
Patriotic commented:
Well said Liz Cheney.
Obama, you should be holding weekly press conferences, open to lots of questions from the press pool, and let the American people know what our government is doing to solve this crisis.
You shouldn’t act like you care to help democrats get re-elected, we are not going to vote for democrats anymore anyway.
You should do this because it is the right thing to do.
How much sea life is dying because of this?
How much damage is being done by toxic chemicals that are being used to hide the oil slicks?
Are legitimate damages to property and businesses being compensated yet by BP?
Are other experts going to be allowed to help if BP’s comprehensive set of “if-then-else” plans don’t stop the oil from gushing?
Why are you so anti-American?…I think I know the answer.
auntie em commented:
Patriotic,
It would be nice if he would answer those questions. The sad truth is that he can’t. He could, but he is too lazy to find the answers, and frankly….he couldn’t care less about the impact on the citizens, economy, wild life, etc. In fact, I am pretty sure he’s giddy.
The deafening silence though is coming from the EPA. What are they doing about it?
auntie em commented:
EPA is doing a lot to help.
They put up a Spanish website about the spill. It launched on the 20th.
http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/0/1FCDFA94E7089C4F85257729005F2241
They are really concerned about the environment, but not more concerned than they are about appeasing the new Democrats.
Costa commented:
Dear Liz Cheney,
Please run for President in 2012! We need you, we will vote for you. We would be in the best of hands and mind. We could feel safe again. We would have class in the White House. We know you care for America and we know you care for the people. You listen and hear. You have logic and can see thru the bull hockey!
