Cheney: Obama wants to "take America down," he's the "worst president we've ever had"

One thing you must never forget about Barack Obama is that he is a hardened leftist. The first anti-American president probably privately refers to the nation he misleads by the progressive pejorative as an Empire. And lefties want that empire to fall.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney knows, as he explained last night on Hugh Hewitt's radio show.

Hewitt asked the former vice president, "Is he naïve, Mr. Vice President? Or does he have a far-reaching vision that only he entertains of a realigned Middle East that somehow it all works out in the end?"

"I don't know, Hugh. I vacillate between the various theories I've heard, but you know, if you had somebody as president who wanted to take America down, who wanted to fundamentally weaken our position in the world and reduce our capacity to influence events, turn our back on our allies and encourage our adversaries, it would look exactly like what Barack Obama's doing. I think his actions are constituted in my mind those of the worst president we've ever had."

Rudy Giuliani is right--Obama does not love America.

But does he hate it?
