former vice president dick cheney, who used the u.s. military as a political pawn, who relied on bogus claims to sell two wars with disastrous results is lecturing president obama? and, again, listen to the words he chose, focusing on food stamps. >> he'd much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops. >> president obama cares more about food stamps than the troops. first of all, shouldn't cheney's record disqualify him from this debate? and second. >> what's wrong with food stamps? what's wrong with helping americans in need feed their families? this shouldn't be a partisan issue. maybe the vice president forgot that the number of people receiving food stamps rose 63% in the bush-cheney years, compared to a 48% increase under president obama. but this isn't about facts. this is about demonizing the poor and launching toxic attacks on the president. we've seen it for years. >> food stamps versus paychecks. obama is the best food stamp president in american history. >> when he says

and what vice president cheney doesn't mention is two things. when he was secretary of defense, he actually cut it more than what has been cut under the budget control act, and this was not obama's idea. in fact, as you mentioned, he's asking for $26 billion more than the sequestration allows, and another $100 billion over the next couple of years so they can get relief from sequestration. he's not cutting it. he's asking for more than the congress. >> larry, i'm glad you mentioned that. when it comes to dick cheney on these issues, the fact check takes a lot longer than the original lie. i have to tell you, i don't have a high standard for him, but this was pretty outrageous what he is saying both for, as you mentioned, the context of military spending and when he was, you know, for it before he was against it. second, the fact that we can't report it enough, this is all under a sequester demanded by republicans in the house. these are their cuts. senator rubio also hypocritically lashing out at the president today when he wanted these cuts. th

need to know this during an appearance on fox news's an idiot last night former vice president dick cheney blasted defense secretary chuck hagel plan to downsize the military to pre world war two levels away every day if they're basically making a decision that the obama administration that they don't want to be done. but on the street at the skies of that space they had their budget reflects to take over and of not good but it turned into a world circumstances it's a bit of a butt but if the rich but for the spirit the body on food stamps that it would have a strong military or support for our troops pretty frightening it does sound a familiar that's because conservatives say that kind of thing every time someone in washington proposes cutting defense spending but the truth is secretary hagel proposed cuts to the defense budget are pretty minor and we could afford to make even deeper cuts the most controversial part of the defense secretary's twenty fifteen spending plan is a proposal to cut the size of the army down to a total number of four hundred forty thousand four hundred fifty thou

you know, i wish dick cheney would be like his former boss and just go paint pictures some place.ast night he embarrassed himself by claiming that president obama would "much rather spend money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops." no. for every dime we spend on food stamps we still spend about $1 on the military. personally, i would rather have my tax dollars go to hungry kids and not halliburton. but under obama, we still spend more on our military than china, russia, the british, japan, france, saudi arabia, india, germany, italy and brazil combined. that sounds like a pretty strong military under obama to me. >> i'm constantly outraged by the stunning incompetent and dishonesty of some government bureaucrats. in los angeles, veterans affairs employees decided to do something about the backlog of requests for medical exams some dating backing to 2001. that would be outrageous by itself. but according to the daily caller, the solution these bureaucrats came up with was to simply delete people's files from their computers. poof. the backlog
