Former Vice President Cheney: Obama is a 'very, very weak president'

Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Fox News Sean Hannity Wednesday that he believes President Obama is a very, very weak president who does not understand America's obligations around the world.
Cheney said on Hannity he has spoken with many people in the Middle East who believe Obamas leadership has reduced Americans influence overseas.
They all are absolutely convinced that the American capacity to lead and influence in that part of the world has been dramatically reduced by this president, he said. Weve got a problem with weakness, and its centered right in the White House.
Cheney said Obamas plan to remove all troops from Afghanistan by 2016, instead of negotiating an agreement to keep some troops in the country, is an example of his weakness.
Thats stupid, its unwise, and it will in fact just reinforce the notion that were weak, that weve got a leader who doesnt understand U.S. obligations and commitments around the world and is not prepared to act on them, he said.
Cheney said Obama is totally ignoring why the U.S. invaded Afghanistan.
Its as though he wasnt even around when 9/11 happened, he said.
Cheney said Obamas choice to not continue the presence in Afghanistan was also disrespectful to the military members who served there.
The former vice president also turned to the VA scandal, calling it an outrage. He said the Obama administration needs to take responsibility, despite the fact that some prominent Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, have blamed the agencys problems on the Bush administration.
Six years out since we left office and we are still blamed by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama for their current troubles, he said.
