An Indignant George Stephanopoulos Huffs to Santorum: 'How Can You Say' Obama Is Weak?
Newsbusters ^ | 1/3/12 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 01/03/2012 9:53:27 AM PST by Nachum

An indignant George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday demanded that Rick Santorum explain his harsh attacks on Barack Obama. After reading off a quote from the Republican presidential candidate and then listing the President's foreign policy accomplishments, Stephanopoulos defended, "How can you say he sided with our enemies on almost every foreign conflict?"

Santorum responded by insisting that, in the example of killing bin Laden, Obama simply followed a course set by George W. Bush. Stephanopoulos sputtered, "How can you say he sided with our enemies on almost every foreign conflict?"

Repeating what will surely be Obama 2012 talking points, the former Democratic operative added, "But, Senator is that true?...Osama bin Laden was alive when President Obama took office. He's dead now."

Stephy baby, Bubba, and Reich amply demonstrate that even Oxford occasionally throws away the standards book.

I agree. Santorum should have said “It’s the economy, stupid.” Stephy and the other Dem organizers used that against Bush One, dismissing his foreign policy decisions in ‘92.

Wild mustangs and wild burros are multiplying too fast and over grazing public and private grassland in the west. They are pretty to look at, but are very hard on range lands. The numbers have to be reduced and harvesting them for meat to send abroad is one way to address the problem.

Managing any wild life is part of the real world. We in Wisconsin manage whitetail deer with a hunting season. That is better than having all new trees in our forests eaten by deer or hitting a deer every time we drive down a country road.

There was at one time a huge stink about the revolving door between gov and media. It stopped JUST BEFORE Steffy went through the revolving door.

“How can he say that Obama, or any president for that matter, has cided(sic) one way every single time. You can’t.”

Obama is destroying America. Obama is weak, extremely weak.
But that is not the biggest problem. The Obama administration is making America weak.

Santorum was right in his comments. Georgie Stephie is simply an Obama stooge.

Is it true that George graduated from Columbia the year before Obama did??

If so, could they have taken classes under Piven together, shared other socialist experiences?

I recall that when Stephanopoulos was chief adviser for Clinton, he was known in some circles as a card carrying member of some socialist party.. I wonder if they talk about the good ol' days at Columbia when the get together for ABC interviews.

LOL. I was busy trying to select an appropriate person who happened to have passed away last year when I saw your post. “Henry” Morgan, isn’t it?

He's dead now."

George. I never got to see a video of Osama's dead carcass outside of some doctored-looking photograph devoid of the soldiers that killed him. Further, I never got to see a video of the US supposedly burying this effing Muslim at sea.....I have no doubt that we will never hear from OBL again - it's just a nagging inkling that OBL might be living in an ARUBA condo at our expense.... Go back home to that stupid hot wife you have you sawed off shortstack and STFU! Nobody thinks you are a journalist - you're just some asshole that helped Slick Willie get elected and knew when to get out.

"How can he say that Obama, or any president for that matter, has sided one way every single time. You can’t."

Did you even read the transcript? Here's the meat of it:

SANTORUM: George, on every single contingency that has come up under his administration, the two things you mentioned, and are always mentioned by Obama defenders, are things that were in place when he was in office, when he came into office. They were missions that were defined. He's simply gone ahead and continued to execute those missions.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But, Senator is that true? When Osama bin Laden was alive when President Obama took office. He's dead now.

SANTORUM: Yeah. Well, that's right. But that was a mission that was already decided. policy to kill Osama bin Laden and to kill al Qaeda and to treat them as enemy combatants. The President did not change that policy. But that was not a policy or problem that came up under his watch. The ones that did come up under his watch, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Honduras, you can go down the list. Poland. The U.K., the Czechs. Ask all of them whether- Israel, whether we've been a good ally, one you could stand by. And look at the ones who have been enemies to the United States. And we have appeased and pandered. This is a President that has gotten it wrong whenever time there's been a decision to be made, whether it's in the interest of the United States, when a contingency came up under his watch, he's blown it.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, you have quite a list there. We're going to have to follow up another time.

Yeah, right, like they did with Obama.....

Did I miss something? How did a thread about Obama and foreign policy start a discussion on how people should handle a surplus horse population?

He wasn’t even there. That was a photoshop.

If it was a photoshop, then the Obama team is even more incompetent than I thought. You would think they'd photoshop him into the command chair at the head of the table, so that it looks like he's running the operation. Instead, he's hunched down back in the corner, looking as if he snuck into the room.
