Cheney: Obama’s ‘World View Just Doesn’t Reflect Reality’

HANNITY: “Welcome back to ‘Hannity.’ So since leaving office, Vice President Cheney has not been silent about his concern regarding the disastrous foreign policy decisions that are made by the Obama administration. In his latest book — it’s in stores tomorrow — the former vice president, along with his daughter, Liz, outline the reasons why the United States needs to lead on the world stage. Joining us now to explain more, the authors of ‘Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America,’ former vice president Dick Cheney, his daughter, Liz Cheney, Liz, of course, a FOX News contributor. Thank you, both. I have my autographed copy right here. And it’s on Amazon, book stores tomorrow. I like to say that America should lead and America should be exceptional. This president has a hard time acknowledging American exceptionalism.”
D. CHENEY: “I don’t think he believes it.”
HANNITY: “I don’t think he does, either.”
D. CHENEY: “I think his world view just doesn’t reflect reality.”
HANNITY: “That’s a — when you say that, for — think about what you just said.”
D. CHENEY: “I know.”
HANNITY: “We have a president of the United States that his world view does not reflect reality, and he has his finger on the nuclear buttons.  That’s a little scary when you combine them, no?”
D. CHENEY: “Well, initially, I think, when you start out trying to evaluate him, as we all do [indecipherable] president, think, Well, he made a mistake here. That’s a bad judgment. But now you look back over six, going on seven years, and there’s a pattern there that’s very consistent and it seems to be based on a set of beliefs that is unique from recent presidents. And one of the key things, reasons Liz and I wanted to write a book, was what he represents is a break with the history of the last 70 or 75 years, where on a bipartisan basis, we’ve had presidents who believed in American exceptionalism.”
