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."

Santorum: ..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: Yeah? well .. um.. so's yur old man!

Hey, it only took 19 hours for President Horsemeat to decide on whether or not to give the order to take out OBL on credible actionable intelligence. He had to sleep on it. He is overworked and needs a vacation with lots of golf. Give him a break. He is black too.

I think Santorum’s comments were quite naive.

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

Santorum is a light weight. Sorry folks, he is. Why waste money on him?

I’m going with Newt. I plan to send him money before NH. Iowa means nothing. Have they ever picked the winner?

Obama is “weak” in every possible sense or usage of the word.

The slaughter of horses has infuriated me.

All 69 of the senators who voted for this should be run out on a rail.

Yes Bin Laden was killed under Obama’s watch; but that was just the period at the end of the sentence. The story of Al Qaida’s demise had already been written. It was a good thing, a necessary punctuation mark, but Osama had already bee reduced to a sick old man wandering about his hideout in his pajama's.

What is the topping on the cake is that most of that meat is being exported as well.

In the photo of the situation room that was released as the operation to take out Bin laden went down, it certainly doesn’t look like Obama is in charge. It looks like he was told to sit in the corner and stay out of the way.

Osama bin Laden was alive when President Obama took office. He’s dead now.”

And if mac daddy the wimp would have had it his way he would still be alive but the adults in the room took over for President present.

Mac daddy did not have bal*s enough to give the order in case anything went wrong he could declare himself blameless, but since it work he was the one who took all the credit.

I guess the same way Obama can claim credit for the death of OBL. Does anyone think that the result would have been different regardless of who was in the WH? Finding and killing OBL was the culmination of years of intelligence gathering and planning.

I have to agree with you nikos. Santorum, along with Bachmann, are the two worst choices, IMO, and they would be handily defeated by Obama. My personal choice is Rick Perry. He's got more executive experience than all the other candidates combined, and a sterling record of job creation. But Newt would also be a good choice. And both of them can defeat Obama.

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

My reply, if I were being interviewed: "Harry Morgan was alive when Obama took office too, and he's also dead. What's your point?"

I have a question? Why won’t any of our candidates show some gumption when interviewed by some of these known Dem supporting commentators by saying something like “look George we all know that you were previously employed in the Democratic administration of Bill Clinton” therefore the listeners should keep this in mind when listening to your questions and comments after I have answered your question? Say this all the time because our people always get hammered anyway. just sayin.
