Liz Cheney accuses Obama of abandoning non-existent country ‘Czechoslovakia’ | The Raw Story

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 fact check 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,” Washington Post 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.

The sickest part is how she blames him for doing things he didn’t do to countries that don’t exist. I will say though…at the end of this episode Jake Tapper came out and said how objective he was because he doesn’t vote. It would violate his integrity. Quick question…doesn’t airing blatant lies without correction violate some ethical standards? Or is it only when you invite someone back who displays this behavior that it becomes an endorsement of said behavior?

“We have to come out and show that we are appalled,” said Ranya Sabbagh, a Syrian-American. “We have to come out and give our condolences to the families of those innocent victims.”

Sabbagh says many in the Middle Eastern world do not understand the Western world’s freedoms of speech. They think the U.S. government approved the film and that’s why some extremists are acting violently.

This is very similar to many Americans, who cannot distinguish between a country’s leader and its citizens….heck many Americans couldn’t tell the difference between Al Qaeda and Iraq.

When growing up in a country with a tightly controlled media where everything you see is government approved, it’s fairly natural to assume every place else is the same…especially if you are a teenager who has been watching the U.S. blow up your neighbors for most of your life.
