Cheney: Clinton Could Work Better With Republicans Than Obama in White House

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that Hillary Clinton might have been better at building bridges with Republicans if she were in the White House than the current president, as he gently egged on the secretary of state to challenge President Obama for his party's 2012 nomination.

Cheney, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," would not go so far as to say Clinton would have made a better president. But, citing a litany of complaints about Obama's approach to the economy, the former vice president said "she might have been easier for some of us who are critics of the president to work with."

"I have the sense that she's one of the more competent members of the current administration," Cheney said. "And it would be interesting to speculate how she might perform."

Though Clinton and other Democrats have persistently quieted speculation that she still harbors presidential ambitions and could consider a 2012 run, Cheney said a Clinton bid "would be good for a two-party system."

"I certainly wouldn't want to discourage a good primary contest on their side," Cheney said, though he noted he'd be supporting the GOP nominee no matter what.

Cheney complained that the current president's policies have hurt the economy by loading up the private sector with regulations. He said he doesn't think the president's upcoming jobs speech is going to include measures that will "get the job done," and called for a "pro-growth policy" to get the economy moving.

Notice how most of the old Clinton cronies are dissing the O? I get the feeling they are preparing for something. Maybe just jumping ship before next years D debacle.

I'll tell you what...I would take any Clinton, and that includes Roger, over this clown in the Whitehouse.
