Dick Cheney Roasts Obama Alive for Being Disrespectful to Military and the Police [WATCH]
Former Vice President Dick Cheney this week sharply criticized President Barack Obama for comparing Ferguson, Mo., with the Middle East during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
Cheney made his comments during a recent Fox News interview, reported Western Journalism.
He called any comparison between the thousands of brutal murders committed by terrorists in the name of radical Islam with the shooting of a robbery suspect in Missouri “outrageous.”
“I was stunned,” Cheney said. “In one case, you’ve got a police officer involved in a shooting. There may be questions about it that will be sorted out through the legal process.”
“There’s no comparison to that with what ISIS is doing to thousands of people throughout the Middle East,” he added.
If Obama was referring to the rioters and looters who used the excuse of the Michael Brown shooting for their criminal acts, then his comparison is slightly more apt, but only very slightly.
But, of course, he didn’t mean that. He was pandering to his base in a veiled attack on Officer Darren Wilson.
What Obama — and much of the media — seems to have forgotten is that Wilson is innocent. Until proven guilty in a court of law, Wilson is presumed not to have committed a crime. It’s bad enough when citizens forget that, worse when journalists do — and inexcusable from the president of the United States.
It’s also not strategically sound for the president. There may be coming a time in the not-too-distant future when Barack Obama finds himself very grateful for the presumption of innocence.
Please share this article on Twitter and Facebook if you agree that President Obama’s comparison between a single shooting by a police officer in the line of duty and the thousands of brutal murders committed by the Islamic State is simply disgraceful.
