NEW YORK (AP) — The next book by former Vice President Dick Cheney is aimed directly at President Barack Obama.

Cheney’s “Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America” will be published on Sept. 1 by Threshold Editions, the publisher announced Tuesday. The book, co-authored by Cheney’s daughter Liz Cheney, contends that Obama has abandoned a decades-long tradition of American global leadership. In a statement issued by Threshold, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, the former vice president said Obama had “significantly diminished” U.S. power at a time of a “rapidly growing” terrorist threat.

Cheney, a Republican, has been an emphatic critic of Obama, a Democrat, recently calling him the worst president in his lifetime. Cheney’s previous books include the memoir “In My Time” and “Heart,” about his long battle with cardiac disease.

    As an example of “global leadership” Cheney ought to go on a World Tour press junket to promote this new book. Show Obama how the rest of the world treats a “real” American leader. Perhaps starting in the Netherlands?

    And there will be thunderstorms in Tucson this August.

    Edit. Oh the hell with it. Fuck this monumentally arrogant and self-serving bag of sewer gas!

  3. Our problem with dick cheney is that we didn’t realize–until too late–that he was a paranoid schizophrenic.
