Richard Lugar, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called President Barack Obamas handling of recent terrorism threats strong, disputing former Vice President Dick Cheneys criticism.
Its unfair, Lugar said in an interview for Bloomberg Televisions Political Capital with Al Hunt, airing this weekend. I think the president is focused.
Cheney, who frequently has led Republican attacks on the Democratic president since leaving office a year ago, told Politico on Dec. 29 that Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war with a low-key response to the Dec. 25 attempt to ignite a bomb aboard a flight to Detroit.
To the contrary, Obama has demonstrated firmness and decisiveness, Lugar, who represents Indiana, said. Thats been the antidote to the criticism.
