The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I'm not at all sure that that's what the Obama administration believes.

More quotes by Dick Cheney
From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.
Dick Cheney
One of the problems we have as a government is our inability to keep secrets. And it costs us, in terms of our relationship with other governments, in terms of the willingness of other intelligence services to work with us, in terms of revealing sources and methods. And all of those elements enter into some of these leaks.
Dick Cheney
The biggest threat we face is the possibility of terrorist groups like al Qaeda equipped with weapons of mass destruction, with nukes, bugs or gas. That was the threat after 9/11 and when we took down Saddam Hussein we eliminated Iraq as a potential source of that.
Dick Cheney
There's overwhelming evidence that there was a connection between Al Qaeda and the Iraqi government.
Dick Cheney
My own belief is that the way we grow the economy, create jobs, create wealth is in the private sector. The government doesn't do that.
Dick Cheney
There's every reason to believe there will be further attacks attempted against the United States. For us to spend so much time patting ourselves on the back because we got bin Laden that we miss the next attack would be a terrible tragedy.
Dick Cheney
It's a tougher program for tougher customers.
Dick Cheney
The Federalist Society has made important contributions to the nation's understanding of our constitutional heritage.
Dick Cheney
I do not believe the President requires any additional authorization from the Congress before committing US forces to achieve our objectives in the Gulf.
Dick Cheney
I support the President's plan to amend the Constitution, banning same-sex marriage.
Dick Cheney
I do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what I would consider off base or has a bias.
Dick Cheney
Instead, the terrorists see just what they were hoping for, our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity.
Dick Cheney
We have great information. They're going to welcome us. It'll be like the American Army going through the streets of Paris. They're sitting there ready to form a new government. The people will be so happy with their freedoms that we'll probably back ourselves out of there within a month or two.
Dick Cheney
Like many Americans, I've always been intrigued by Bill Clinton. I obviously didn't always agree with him - enjoyed running against his legacy in 2000, when Al Gore was his designated successor, but I don't have anything negative I would say about Bill Clinton.
Dick Cheney
I'm up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they're in session.
Dick Cheney
In our own country, we take democratic values seriously - and so we always have a vigorous debate on the issues. That's part of the greatness of America, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Dick Cheney
I got sick, hospitalized, had no insurance. And the money I had saved for our honeymoon went to pay medical bills. So I had been in the position of not having insurance when I needed health care.
Dick Cheney
I think Barack Obama is a one-term President.
Dick Cheney
The days of looking the other way while despotic regimes trample human rights, rob their nations' wealth, and then excuse their failings by feeding their people a steady diet of anti-Western hatred are over.
Dick Cheney
With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People...ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.
Dick Cheney
