Poll: American Public Disagrees With Cheney -- Obama Not Making America Less Safe
A new Rasmussen poll tests the reactions of likely voters to former Vice President Dick Cheney's recent public activism against the Obama Administration -- with Obama currently the winner on the issues.
The poll asked: "Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been speaking out lately on a number of topics. Now that he has left office, how important are Dick Cheney's opinions?" Only 39% say his views are very or somewhat important, to 57% who say his views are not very or not at all important.
And finally: "Cheney says America is less safe because of changes President Obama has made in national security. Do you agree or disagree with Cheney's statement that America is now less safe?" Here's it's only 38% agreeing, to 51% disagreeing.

Perhaps Rasmussen could submit an article on this finding to Duh! magazine...

Here's a count I'd like to have.
How many Iraqi's are dead because of Cheney's mistake on WMD's.
How many Iraqi's did Saddam kill?
How many people did bin Laden kill on 9/11?
Because of the abuse approved by Cheney and gang, how many people are dead because of jihadists recruited because by use of detainee abuse propaganda by the recruiters?
I think, overall, Cheney's decisions have been responsible for more deaths globally than Saddam and bin Laden combined.

Looks like ol' Dick woke up one day and realized that if the percentage of the public demanding that someone be held accountable hits, oh, about 60-65%, that deep, bipartisan unpopularity that he used to sneer about might be a teensy bit of a problem if the other criminals are looking for someone to toss to the sharks. Plus, there's that niggling little problem of him actually being the one most responsible for the criminal conduct.

Rasmussen's a Cato-clysmic wingnut, so reality is probably even worse for Cheney.

Yeah so if Rasmussen says its so, its even worse, since they are in the tank for the conservs.

How does this creep have the nerve to say they kept us safe. We were attacked under their watch. The worst attack in U. S. HISTORY under the Thugs watch and this guy is worried about Obama keeping us safe.
What a joke and worst that there are 22% of the people who believe him
Pathetic
