Perino: ‘Where Is The Proof’ That Bush ‘Alienated’ People Around The World?
Perino: ‘Where Is The Proof’ That Bush ‘Alienated’ People Around The World?
In an interview with CNN earlier this week, Vice President Biden responded to former Vice President Cheney’s criticism that the Obama administration has made America less safe by saying that “the last administration left us in a weaker posture than we’ve been in any time since World War II.” Biden added that when Bush left office, America was “less regarded” and garnered “virtually no respect in entire parts of the world.”
Former Bush Press Secretary Dana Perino responded to Biden on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor last night, claiming it was “absolutely not” true. “I actually think that we are respected in the world,” said Perino.
Asked by O’Reilly if it was “a valid point” that the Bush administration “alienated” allies with “its swaggering” at a time that “we need cooperation to defeat terrorists,” Perino replied, “Where is the proof of that?”:
O’REILLY: But they feel — the Obama administration says look, we need cooperation to defeat terrorists. And we weren’t getting it because the Bush administration alienated so many people by its swaggering and its cowboy and the Dick Cheney stuff . Isn’t that a valid point ?
PERINO: Where is the proof of that?
O’REILLY: There isn’t any proof. It’s total speculation.
PERINO: Right.
Perino then asserted that the Bush administration “had allies all over the world helping us,” so Biden is either “not being honest about the briefs that he has gotten, or he just doesn’t know.” Watch it:
In fact, there is no doubt that the Bush administration lowered America’s standing in the eyes of much of the world. In December 2008, the Pew Global Attitudes Project released a report showing that “the U.S. image abroad is suffering almost everywhere“:
Opposition to key elements of American foreign policy is widespread in Western Europe, and positive views of the U.S. have declined steeply among many of America’s longtime European allies. In Muslim nations, the wars in Afghanistan and particularly Iraq have driven negative ratings nearly off the charts. The United States earns positive ratings in several Asian and Latin American nations, but usually by declining margins.
The problems created by Bush’s “swaggering” were evident in Europe last week when President Obama convinced NATO allies to send roughly 5,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan. One analyst noted that while the troop increase was modest, Obama was able to secure “a lot more than Bush could have gotten.”
Transcript:
O’REILLY: And in the impact segment tonight, a controversy raging between Vice President Biden and former Vice President Cheney, who has said the Obama administration’s policies will make America less safe. Now, this has been going on for a while. The Obama team criticizing the Bush administration, Mr. Cheney replying. Throughout history, this kind of stuff usually did not happen, but it is occurring now.(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney? It hasn’t made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment.
JOE BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT: The last administration left us in a weaker posture than we’ve been in any time since World War II. Less regarded in the world. Stretched more thinly than we ever had been in the past. Two wars underway. Virtually no respect in entire parts of the world.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O’REILLY: All right. Joining us now from Washington to reply, the former spokesperson for President Obama, Dana Perino. So virtually no respect in parts of the world for the USA. Do you buy that?
DANA PERINO, FMR. WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: Absolutely not. I think that that is — just perpetuates a myth that isn’t good for America. And it’s hard to believe that the vice president of the United States, no matter who he or she is, would ever say such a thing . I actually think that we are respected in the world. We might not always be liked, but when it comes to fighting terrorists, I’ve never seen it as a popularity contest. And I would hope that the new administration doesn’t either.
O’REILLY: But they feel — the Obama administration says look, we need cooperation to defeat terrorists. And we weren’t getting it because the Bush administration alienated so many people by its swaggering and its cowboy and the Dick Cheney stuff . Isn’t that a valid point ?
PERINO: Where is the proof of that?
O’REILLY: There isn’t any proof. It’s total speculation.
PERINO: Right.
O’REILLY: But.
PERINO: Well, absolutely.
O’REILLY: .wait, wait.
PERINO: .but (INAUDIBLE).
O’REILLY: .that’s an excellent question. That’s an excellent question you just asked me. You should be doing The Factor, Dana. The Dana Factor.
(LAUGHTER)
Excellent question. It’s just speculation. That’s what Biden is saying. Total speculation.
PERINO: And it’s not true.
O’REILLY: But Cheney says the Obama policies are making America less safe. That’s speculation, too, is it not?
PERINO: Well, if you just look at the proof, for seven and a half years after 9/11, President Bush led the charge to make sure that we did what the 9/11 Commission suggested. Break down the barrier to make sure that intelligence in law enforcement can talk to one another.
The other thing we did is try to disrupt terrorist financing. We didn’t do that on our own. We had allies all over the world helping us, people that they wouldn’t even suspect. And so either he is not being honest about the briefs that he has gotten, or he just doesn’t know. and I don’t know which one is worse.

As someone who had access to AP, AFP and Reuters Wire photos for all of the administration’s destructive tenure, I saw, first hand, the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators that turned out around the World to protest George Bush’s presence in their country! The anti-Bush posters comparing him with Satan, Hitler, etc… where in the millions! Hundreds of thousands of people in every part of the World hate Bush !

April 9th, 2009 at 3:45 pmDid Dana miss the anniversary celebration footage from Baghdad?
April 9th, 2009 at 3:46 pmThis is one of the favorite tactics of trolls here when they know they have nothing (which is, let’s face it, pretty much all the time).
They take a statement of opinion or analysis and demand “proof”. And of course, they’re not asking for a well-constructed valid argument in support of the statement; they’re looking for objective, clinical proof, which doesn’t exist.
It’s a not-very-clever way of dismissing the validity of an assessment without actually challenging it.
It comes as no surprise that dear Dana is, at heart, a troll.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:46 pmOnce again. Reich-wing propagandists disregarding those pesky facts.

Did Dana miss the anniversary celebration footage from Baghdad?
Spot on. My thoughts exactly.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:47 pmThe mere fact that Iran and the US will be entering talks on their nuclear program is evidence. This was unthinkable by the last adminstration.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:49 pmG-ddammit! You guys keep forgetting Poland!
April 9th, 2009 at 3:49 pm“Down, down USA” and “No, no occupation,” and burned American flags and an effigy of Bush.
They were just burning the effigy because they love him so much they don’t want him to take a chill?
April 9th, 2009 at 3:50 pmDana, how many members are still in the Coalition of the Willing?
April 9th, 2009 at 3:50 pmPERINO: Where is the proof of that?
Besides paying attention to what the rest of world has said over the last 8 years, you could look at the “coalition of the willing” and the fact that this small group of countries grew smaller, rather than larger, with time.
Just because you ignore facts doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pmFor the simpleton Perino, here’s a simple place to start for the kind of simple proof you wingnuts can comprehend (barely) – pictures:

April 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pmI thought once you left the position, Dana, you didn’t have to lie anymore….
April 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pmThey must have forgotten the protests on Bush’s visit to Canada and the past G20 conferences as well.
Not to mention how Bush alienated people right here in the US as evidence right here on this blog.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pmOkay, Dana, go backpacking with Donnie Rumsfeld in Europe this summer and see what happens.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:52 pmThose two shoes that went whizzing within inches of his bean are a pretty good indication of alienation, that is, if one is paying attention.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:52 pmOnly one explanation for this interview. Dana likes falafel and loofa.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:54 pmSorry we couldn’t have sent you over to the anniversary celebration in Baghdad, Dana. IN YOUR AMERICAN FLAG DRESS.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:54 pmWhatever she and Billo are smoking — well, let’s just say they ought to share!!
April 9th, 2009 at 3:54 pmWhen the publics of the 16 nations covered by the survey were asked to give favorability ratings of five major leading nations the United States, Germany, China, Japan, and France the U.S. fared the worst of the group
This from a 2005 study by Pew
http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?PageID=801
Which further states:
April 9th, 2009 at 3:55 pmPerceptions of U.S. unilateralism remain widespread among the publics of America’s traditional allies. In Germany, only 38% of respondents think the U.S. takes their country’s interests into account, the highest percentage in Europe. In Canada, just 19% feel the U.S. takes Canadian interests into account to any substantial degree when making policy.
Hmmm…let’s see. Numerous world polls showing how attitudes toward America have pretty much gone south all over the globe during the Bush administration (with a few exceptions — Albania and some places in Africa). Bush getting shoes thrown at him. Bush effigies being burned. Bush getting no cooperation from the U.N. when he wanted to invade Iraq and very little help from other countries (and the ones who did help have mostly bailed). And that’s just for starters.
Is Perino really sure she wants to play this game?
April 9th, 2009 at 3:57 pm“I actually think that we are respected in the world,” said Perino.
Respected? More like a feared playground bully with a club.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:57 pmLet’s see Dana…why not spend a little time reading something in the foreign press (ANY foreign press) OR better yet, get off your lazy backside, get on an airplane and go ask them! Wouldn’t take you very long to find out that Chimpy (and YOU by association) are some of the most despised people ON EARTH!
The “proof” is not very hard to find…IF you’re willing to spend five minutes just browsing….how lame is she…yikes…
April 9th, 2009 at 3:57 pmProof, like the thousands of people who were holding anti Bush demonstrations when Bush visited other countries while President?
April 9th, 2009 at 3:58 pmBTW, Bill-O, you put “I think” before stating “There is no proof.” and “Its total speculation.” Stating your opinion/speculation as fact makes you look less than honest.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:59 pmThis is coming from a woman who didn’t know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was.

O’REILLY: But they feel — the Obama administration says look, we need cooperation to defeat terrorists. And we weren’t getting it because the Bush administration alienated so many people by its swaggering and its cowboy and the Dick Cheney stuff . Isn’t that a valid point ?
PERINO: Where is the proof of that?
O’REILLY: There isn’t any proof. It’s total speculation.
PERINO: Right.
O’REILLY: And my boycott of France, Spain and Canada gave the U.S. and incredible amount of respect in those countries as well as the world.
O’REILLY: Loofahs or falafels, Dana?
PERINO: Loofahs, Bill.
<<<
April 9th, 2009 at 4:03 pmNow hooooooold on there, Ms. Perino, Mr. O’Reilly:
I don’t think the Bush Administration left us with “virtually no respect”, so I’ll have to agree with Perino there, but I don’t believe that the loss in respect is entirely due to “swagger” from the Bush Administration. I believe part of the loss of respect is the general bad decisions made by the Bush Administration in their wars and the economic meltdown that affected other countries.
You won’t find “proof” of how respect has been lost, but doesn’t the fact that a high majority of the world approved of Obama over McCain during the election prove that there is much more respect for the Democratic Party than that of the Republican party?
How convenient of Perino to avert her eyes from proof she doesn’t want to see, only to have “proof” of the Bush Admistration’s safety records on hand. I think she must have accidentally looked into the Men-In-Black memory erasing flash on the Daily Show.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:04 pmWhy is anyone giving this bimbo a stage to speak?
April 9th, 2009 at 4:05 pmDearest Dana,
Maybe you could start dating Joe-the-non-plumber and pick up some lovely new talking points that you may have overlooked before…
Seriously, Dana, if you’re going to busy yourself with picking pathetic little nits, where is the proof that the earth is round? And where is the proof that you, Dana, actually exist?
The Know-Nothing Party, formerly known the Republican Party, will be going out of business soon. Don’t miss their final liquidation sale this June.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:05 pmYour eyes maybe.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:06 pmThe Proof is in the Pudding!
April 9th, 2009 at 4:08 pmShould have stopped right there.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:08 pmDo a Google search for “international protests against Bush” and you come up with 3,800,000 hits.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:11 pmIt was so obvious and the proof was in the way foreign dignitaries treated Bush. They totally ignored him. Isn’t that proof enough?
I’m sure there were things stated about Bush during those times but it’s safe to say that the “proof” is in the observing. American can readily see how popular Obama is internationally – Bush was a total pariah!

You have a point. But it was between Gibbs and Perino.
Joe,
April 9th, 2009 at 4:16 pmNot standing by at all.
President “Cheney” invaded Iraq for a few reasons, two being oil and Haliburton. Its no secret that what Bush/Cheney did created more hatred towards America. Dont you just get the warm&fuzzy`s knowing that the rightwing nuts are obsolete right now?
April 9th, 2009 at 4:17 pmHere’s the proof Dana. It might be hard for you to recognize because it’s not a smoking gun in the shape of a mushroom cloud.

Perino should look up the defition for respect in the dictionary.
Thanks to neocons like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, and William Kristol, the world no longer respects America. The world fears us. You can’t blame them. Neocons are always looking for an excuse to start another war.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:24 pmHE HAD A SHOE THROWN AT HIM!!!
Proof enuff, Perino???
April 9th, 2009 at 4:24 pmaplbotm said eyes. Not ears.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:25 pmDoes Dana still have a job at CNN?… Something I said on YT when CNN hired her a month ago, “Would it have (been) cliche to say I would have expected to see Dana on Fixed News?”
April 9th, 2009 at 4:25 pmWhere’s the proof . . .?!? How’s about showing us some proof that Bush’s 8 years weren’t simply squandered, wasted, lost, destroyed, tortured to death. How about showing us some accomplishments . . .?
Oh, right, there weren’t very many were there. Wonder why? Because the world’s only superpower learned (the hard way) that it can’t change the world by “going it alone” like a cowboy in the ol’ West. Being a superpower these days only means your citizens pay for and carry out the world’s dirty work.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:27 pmAny woman who appears on The Factor is not too worldly.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:28 pmReally, Dana, you think that Bush and his buddies were respected….oh so that is what throwing shoes at people means, respect!! HA HA HA.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:39 pmDana and BillO are pinheads.
And LIARS.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:40 pmNote that we again see a party of fools. The Republicans and conservatives are unwilling and unable to acknowledge the truth. At no other time in the history of the world has it been possible to assess the opinions of foreign nations and their citizens with regards to the United States. The polls that have been taken across the world since 9/11 have indicated the lack of respect and confidence of the United States.
Once again this demonstrates that there will be no reconciliation between the right and the left in this country. Our nation will not be safe until the Republican party and their adherents are gathered up and sent to GITMO.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:46 pmSomeone should throw a shoe on her head, maybe that will help.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:47 pmPERINO: Where is the proof of that?
When you travel did you ever talk to common people or just the talking heads of the governments. The vast majority around the world despised the Bush lead U.S. Government. Any failure to understand that is just sticking your head in the sand which would be a good place for Perino to stick hers and keep it there. These ex mouths of the Bush Administration are all trying to rewrite history and the facts. Pardon me they never believed in facts to begin with.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:49 pmO’Reilly
You’re asking someone for their opinion on foreign perception(s) of the US based upon Bush administration policy(s) who worked for said administration , and who doesn’t even know recent American history ?
That’s like questioning a virgin on their opinion of how sex feels ………….
April 9th, 2009 at 4:50 pmA last minute ineffective press secretary lashing out against the accuracy of the duly elected vice president to a popular president.
A note to Fox — just partition the former Bushies off to their own channel to accompany Faux Business. Whatever the title of the channel, just make sure to include ‘revisionist’.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:50 pmThe older I get the more I realize that some things just aren’t meant to be understood.
Dana and her ilk fall into that category.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:50 pmEven if O’Lielly would have brought up the guy who threw his shoes at Shrub, she would have come back with, “Well, that was only ONE person. Not an entire country.” ANd contend that the rest of the Iraqi people very much respected the Bush Admin.
Same repub shit – just a different day.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:56 pmWell, just look at the Anti-bush protests that have happened for years, that might give you a clue…
…oh, forgot, you’re completely clueless, and only believe NeoCon reality.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:58 pmSo, Dana, why isn’t George Bush strutting around the world to the applause he so richly deserves? Is he afraid? Is he scared? Is he terrified? Does he crap his pants every time he thinks about venturing about, even in his own country, without a huge escort?
April 9th, 2009 at 5:00 pmHow can someone look so good and seem so intelligent and have nothing but Ka Ka come out of her mouth every time she opens it. I don’t think she believes her own spew.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:06 pmBarbi’s been lying for so long the criminals forgot to give her the memo; CIA No Longer using Secret Prisons
The statement by the Central Intelligence Agency chief confirmed the spy service was carrying out an order from President Barack Obama to shut down the secret prisons that have been condemned at home and abroad as a flagrant violation of human rights.
This is one of many reasons by Fox News is a Comedy News Show. For Dana agin is made to look like the fool she is.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:07 pmIt is my fervent belief that these people who speak such BS don’t really believe what they are saying. It is clear that they are towing the party line and doing everything in their power to undermine the new administration and sacrificing The United States of America in the process.
As a recovering Republican, I wonder how they can lie to the American people with straight faces. So glad I am done with the party of NO.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:15 pmThe proof exists all around the world. Because that proof comes from outside the U.S.A. it is unimportant, or non-existent, to the likes of Bill0 and Bimbo.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:17 pmdrive by troll, damn your stupid. Good job Rush and Bill’O.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:21 pmPerino:
” Where is the proof that Bush alienated people around the world”.
O’Reilly:
April 9th, 2009 at 5:25 pm” You are hired…”
Americas favorite flight attendant must not have got out much on her international sleepovers.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:29 pmI’m so sick of that stupid “prove it” argument by the right wing. Perino is so stupid she didn’t know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was and now she’s claiming there’s no proof that Bush lowered our opinion internationally and alienated people overseas?
Well, just because O’reilly doesn’t know anything doesn’t mean there is no proof. There’s TONS.
First, there’s the fact that whenever Bush went ANYWHERE, he was greeted with throngs thousands and even tens of thousands strong of demonstrators shouting hate and condemnation to America and his administration.
In contrast, President Obama is being met with the same crowds, only their cheering, and throwing flowers instead of shoes.
There’s proof. And there’s plenty more where that came from.
Like all the polls, which all show proof that the Bush administration alienated the people of the world.
Like this poll, from the Pew Research Center’s “GLOBAL ATTITUDES PROJECT” which included more than 175,000 interviews in 55 countries.
And here’s what the results “proved”.
In 2000 83 percent of Britain’s held a favorable opinion of the US. That number steadily dropped under Bush each year. By 2006 that number was down to 56 percent. And that’s ENGLAND!
In 2000 62 percent of the French people had a favorable opinion of the US. Under the Bush rule that number declined steadily until by 2006 that number had dropped to a dismal 39 percent.
In 2000 78 percent of the German people had a favorable opinion of the US. That number dropped steadily until by 2006 that number dropped all the way down to 37 percent.
In 2000 50 percent of the people of Spain held a favorable opinion of the US. Under Bush rule that number steadily declined until by 2006, only a miserable 23 percent remained favorable.
And in 2000 52 percent of the people of Turkey held the US in a favorable light. But under the rule of Bush and the republicans, that number declined until by 2006, a mere 12 percent of the population still held that opinion.
:|
So there’s your proof Dana.
There’s your proof that Bush DID alienate the international community, and there’s plenty more where that came from.
See Dana, just because the right wing is stupid enough to listen to you and Bill Oreilly, doesn’t mean the rest of us are.
THERE’S your “proof”.
Now choke on it.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:33 pmWaynebro, that doesn’t prove anything. /snark
Nice summary.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:36 pmThat Ms. Perino would have to go on O’Reilly’s show in order to find a sympathetic response to her laughable assertions speaks volumes about the Bushies’ grip on reality.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:38 pmShe’s sure not doing blondes any favors spouting such obvious stupidity.

April 9th, 2009 at 5:48 pmI snorted up half a can of Diet Coke when I read that Dana P. went on BILLO THE INSANE CLOWN’S SHOW to pitch for GWB’s legacy tour.
Hey Dana, if you’re just going to preach to the choir, why bother?
P.S. Until January 20, 2009, I didn’t realize how much I loathed you. Thanks for leaving 1600 Pennsylvania. I mean it.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:58 pmDana Perino is just another mean girl on Bush’s play ground, like Condi and Cheney’s old lady. Nobody will play with her anymore so she’s trying to kick dirt and start a fight.
Dumb little bully…
April 9th, 2009 at 6:59 pmWant more “proof” Dana?
In 2007 a BBC World Service Poll conducted in 27 countries showed that respect for the US had dropped so low that even CHINA was significantly ahead of the US in world opinion.
In 2007 42 percent of the worlds population viewed China in a generally favorable light, as opposed to a mere 30 percent who viewed the US in a favorable light.
And the same poll shows that while only 32 percent of the world saw China in a negative light, a whopping 51 percent of the global population saw the US in a negative one!
So how’s THAT for “proof” Dana?

O’REILLY: All right. Joining us now from Washington to reply, the former spokesperson for President Obama, Dana Perino. So virtually no respect in parts of the world for the USA. Do you buy that?
What?
April 9th, 2009 at 7:14 pmIs this a TP typo or did O’Really actually say this?
And no one caught it?
Dana…YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE PROOF!!

April 9th, 2009 at 8:30 pmPerino is a dingbat! This Byatch lives in outerspace. To make matters worse, Perino makes these insane claims on O’SillyHo the media whore’s show! Too trifling and foolish! We’ll get proof of how much Dumbya Bush is approved of around the world – let his a$$ board a plane and leave the country.
April 9th, 2009 at 9:31 pmWhy doesn’t this mindless repug asshat have a show on fox? Seriously, she’s blond, she’s stupid, she’s utterly self-delusional=she’s perfect for fox!!!! One problem: Unlike the blond anchorwomen for fox, she doesn’t seem to be part cobra, part hyena, but i’m sure she could take some “faux-populist-anger” classes given by o’lielly or beck. Someone should tell ailes that Fox is missing out on some top-notch conservatard talent.
April 9th, 2009 at 9:32 pmWell – we’ve always known she’s dumb as a stump.
Re-Thugs have their own reality.

April 9th, 2009 at 10:12 pmWell, Perino ain’t manly enough to have a show on Fake News! LOL
Leave Dana alone, she is only auditioning for the hostess position at Bush’s liebrary:)
April 9th, 2009 at 10:16 pmI’d say that of all of our 44 Presidents, no one except President Bush has had shoes thrown at him. Did you see that last summit that Bush was at? No one even wanted to acknowledge that he was there. Face it Perino, Bush was in a job that was WAY over his head.

Dear pretty little Dana,
Here’s your proof…

April 10th, 2009 at 12:59 amWELL Dana,
Haven’t found one of those great paying career conservative jobs yet?
How about the Bush Administration alienating me. As an American, I am part of “around the world”. Try that for starters?
Then you can consider France with all the “Freedom Fries” “with us or against us” mental illness.
Start here Dana! Seek and you shall find…….
April 10th, 2009 at 3:16 amPerino makes me feel sick.
Perino is disgusting.
Perino is like a loathsome disease.
Vincent Bugliosi (renowned former prosecutor) wrote a book indicating that George W. Bush murdered more than 4,000 U.S. service members and that Bush should be prosecuted for murder.
Bush lied, and thousands died.
Bush lied and wrongfully caused the deaths of more than one million innocent Iraqi people.
Bush is widely thought of as the worst president ever.
Yet, Perino has the nerve to defend Bush.
Perino belongs in an insane asylum.
