David Gregory Defends President Obama Against Rick Santorum’s Accusation Of Appeasement

video
» 203 comments

On Sunday’s Meet The Press, David Gregory called out surging Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on a speech he gave last month to a Republican Jewish Coalition Candidates Forum, comparing President Obama‘s foreign policy to appeasement during World War II. “How can that possibly be accurate, if you take an objective look at the foreign policy of this administration? What on Iran, specifically, separates the approach that President Obama has taken and that of President Bush?”

“Number one, he didn’t support the pro-democracy movement in Iran in 2009 during the Green Revolution,” Santorum responded. “Almost immediately after the election — I mean, excuse me, like within hours after the polls closed Ahmadinejad announced he won with 62% of the vote. Within a few days, President Obama basically said that that election was a legitimate one.”

“I understand why the president would understand someone announcing the minute after the polls close that he won, I mean he comes from Chicago,” Santorum snarked. “So I get it.

“But the problems is problem was this was an illegitimate election, the people in the streets were rioting saying ‘please support us President Obama, we are the pro-democracy movement. We want to turn this theocracy that’s been at war with the United States’, that’s developing a nuclear weapon, that’s killing our troops in afghanistan and iraq with ieds and the president of the united states turned his back on them. at the same time, a year later we have the same situation where muslim brotherhood and islamists are in the streets of Egypt opposing an ally of ours, not a sworn enemy like Iran, but an ally of ours in Mubarak and he joins the radicals instead of standing with our friends!”

“That’s patently contradictory, if you say you support democracy,” Gregory contended. “How can you be pro-democracy in some countries but not others?”

“No, the Muslim Brotherhood is not about democracy,” Santorum replied. “The Muslim Brotherhood are Islamists. They’re going to impose Sharia law –”

“But I asked you about disarming Iran,” Gregory interrupted. “There is no material difference in terms of how the Bush Administration sought to disarm Iran and what the Obama Administration has done.”

“There’s a material difference in this respect. Number one, the Bush Administration worked with me, in passing the Iran Freedom Support Act which I authored which imposed tough sanctions on the Iranian nuclear program, and provided funding for the pro-democracy movement. When President Obama came into office he cut that funding. President Obama did not provide funding in to Iran to help those folks who wanted to overthrow this democracy and when the time came to support them, he chose not to. That is a substantive difference between my policy, which I was a leader on in the Senate, and when President Bush tried to do when he was president.”

“The reality is there is no good option to disarm Iran,” claimed Gregory.

“Yes, there is,” Santorum maintained.

While Santorum did not protest Gregory’s aggressive questioning, the heavy-handed way in which the Meet The Press host continued to persistently hammer him will most likely spur accusations of bias in his defense of the Obama Administration. Contrast his questioning, with Candy Crowley ‘s earlier, less-combative interview with Santorum on the same topic.

    (JPost)
    Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood (the guys the Obama administration supports) will not recognize Israel “under any
    circumstance,” the party’s deputy leader Dr Rashad Bayoumi told Arabic
    daily al-Hayat in an interview publish Sunday.
    In recent Egyptian elections the party list led by the Brotherhood’s
    Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) won 36.3 percent of the list vote, while
    the ultra-conservative Salafi al-Nour Party took 28.8%.
    When asked whether it is a requirement for the government in Egypt to
    recognize Israel, Bayoumi responded by saying: “This is not an option,
    whatever the circumstances, we do not recognize Israel at all. Its
    [Israel] an occupying criminal enemy.”
    The deputy leader stressed during the interview that no Muslim
    Brotherhood members would ever meet with Israelis for negotiations. “I
    will not allow myself to sit down with criminals.”
    Bayoumi went on to say that The Muslim Brotherhood would take legal
    procedures towards cancelling the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel
    that was signed in 1979. “The Brotherhood respects international
    conventions, but we will take legal action against the peace treaty with
    the Zionist entity,” he told the paper.

    If Gregory is going to advocate for the Obama administration, he should at the very least have a freaking clue about what he is talking about. Santorum ate his lunch.

    The real story will be when Gregory doesn’t defend Obama.  The media will go farther and farther out there as the election draws closer.  They didn’t learn their lesson in 2008 when the american people knew that the media was owned by Obama. Look to see Fox news ratings skyrocket while the MSM rat pack goes on the Obama re election offensive.  The public won’t be fooled this time.

    David works for the National Barak Channel – he will probably get a nice big bonus for his defense and advocacy of Team Obama today.

    How utterly pathetic, this is the same network that pushed “Bush is a war criminal” and now praises Obama for carrying on Bush’s policies, to a large degree.

    Anyone who trusts a word said on NBC and out of the mouth of David, the bower or anyone else on the network needs to have their head examined.  These guys will continue to campaign for Obama and will openly support him, vote for him, praise him, etc., and demean and diminish any conservative/republican.

    NBC must be so proud of the Sunday host….good boy David, Obama loves his lapdoggies.

    What a bunch of conservative morons on this thread.  On an actual network, a journalist asks actual probing questions of a conservative and that’s called “advocacy”.  Poll after poll documents that viewers of FAUX News are dumber about current events than people who watch no TV at all.  Whether Obama deserves reelection is one thing.  But he will win reelection in no small part due to the fact that the GOP couldn’t field anything beyond its crop of mental midgets.  You heard it here first. The next Republican to serve as POTUS is someone who’s not currently running …

    The irritating thing about democracies is that elections sometimes do not go the way you would like them to. That does not make the result void.

    You cannot, on one hand, advocate for democratic elections, then on the other hand reject them.
    Gregory is taking Santorum to task for this glaring inconsistency. 
    Taking this to its logical conclusion, I reject the results of the 2010 election here because it did not come out the way I wanted it to, even though it was democratic.

    Poor, dear Roger385, you need to catch up already. Most conservatives are a ‘live-and-let-live’ bunch – and even we (those you stereotype as “Faux News viewers”) understand polls.

    Here’s a suggestion for you to ponder: Read up on the devastating effects of a nuclear attack on Israel or the U.S., introduce yourself to actual quotes from the insane, radical president of Iran, and come back soon and remind us again of why you’re so much more clever than the majority of Americans who are a bit tired of carrying your dead weight and propping up your intellectual laziness in the grand scheme of natural selection.

    As your smug, pretentious self seems to be a bit behind the curve, the rest of the healthy gene pool recognizes the risks involved with a nuclear Iran, so perhaps you should steer clear of serious political discourse in the future. If I wanted to hear an Ed Schultz promo, I’d actually hook up my cable and watch cable news.

    Yeah, you neocons who decided to bomb Iraq into the 14th Century, sacrificing thousands of American lives, tens of thousands of Iraqi civilian lives, and trillions of dollars … for sure, a live and let live bunch. And yet even your boy Dubya didn’t take any more aggressive actions toward Iran than has Obama. Wonder why that is.

    Wow, so when there is a push back on GOP talking points, it must be the “liberal media”?  The fact is no one challenges anyone (Dems or Republicans) any more they just let them spew their talking points and move on.  When are we going to see a journalist question those running and not let up until they give an answer??  It will never happen because the media is corporately owned and they have interests which they want to continue to enjoy.  One more thing, no such thing as a ‘liberal media” this is a GOP talking point that they have tried to pound into everyone’s head.

    Well, here’s your problem, ol’ Eagle Eye. Obama’s approval numbers are going up, unemployment is coming down. Your party was just exposed for what they are: anti-tax ONLY for the wealthy. They could give a crap about the middle class. As for journalist ass-kissing … maybe you should take a look at the PEW study from October that shows Obama — by far — has received the harshest coverage of any candidate running for president.

    See, it isn’t the job of the press in a DEMOCRACY to be impartial. It is the press’ job, in a DEMOCRACY, to INFORM the people of the truth/facts so that the people can make the best decision, via elections, regarding THEIR governance. The notion that the press should be impartial was created so that lies could be told to the American people, about Iraq for instance, and the people telling would never have to worry about the press challenging their lies. This notion of an impartial press allows there to exist a rigged press, like in China and Russia, without having a need for direct control. Impartiality creates the rigged, propaganda press by default. By the insane notion that everyone is entitled to their own set of facts and that spin is equal to truth. This is nuts! And people, like this author, who peddle this rubbish, should be ashamed!

    Obama had three advantages when he ran for the Democrat nomination and the presidency in 2007/2008. 

    He is half African-American, and therefore, his candidacy and election was historic. In this election, while he will receive 85-95 % of African-American votes, his candidacy is no longer a novelty and his administration, especially Eric Holder, have played “the race card” until it no longer holds the power that it did when they accused Bill Clinton of being “racist” in 2007.

    Obama had no record (or records) in 2007. Now he does and it’s not pretty.

    The “mainstream media” abandoned the Clintons and covered up for any flaw in Obama in 2007/2008. They have exposed themselves as dishonest brokers of the “news” and most of the public does not trust the media to report fairly or accurately. Thus, it is no surprise to see David Gregory or any other talking head from the alphabet media propagandize on behalf of Obama.

    The election will hinge upon David Axelrod’s ability to destroy Obama’s opposition. Take a look at Axelrod’s record- it’s pretty disgusting. He makes the late Lee Atwater look like a choir boy. I hope Mr. Axelrod remembers that, at some point, he will have to “defend his life” and that “what goes around, comes around.” I feel absolutely no compassion for this man, no matter how challenging his personal story. He is an evil force in the political process.

    Its the military of Egypt that is trying to suppress democracy in Egypt, not the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Thank goodness, Rick Santorum is not going to win the nomination :)

    And he wants to send the American military to fight in Iran. Yet out of the hundreds of thousands of americas military people and veterans, Rick Santorum got the least donation for his combination from the military than any other presidential candidate. A pathetic $250.

    Can you libs not understand that pretty much every intelligence agency around the world said they had nukes and W.M.D.s? It wasnt just Cheney/Bush. You dont have enough critical thinking to realize they had plenty enough time to hide them. He used some on his own people so he showed he had them. Oh,but wait,i guess he used them all on them so he wouldnt have them anymore. Wow i just came to understand how smart sadam was.

    If the number of people looking for jobs were the same as in 2008 the unemployment number would be right at 11% but because of some juggling by the o administration there are several million less people looking. That number doesnt reflect that all those people found jobs, they just somehow dissapeared. They got tired of looking because they found it useless during the obama years apparently.

They calculate the unemployment numbers now with the exact same formula that they did under GWB and GHWB and Saint Ronnie. Get it?

    I wonder why Gregory never bothered to ask if the current Iran policy, irrespective of provenance, is actually, you know, working? Probably because that’s precisely the question his Obama-is-the-same-as-Bush tactic was employed to deflect. Bush is not an option, even if his Iran policy was exactly the same as Obama’s as Gregory would have us believe, so the choice is not between Obama or Bush policy, but between the policies of Obama and some other candidate. Gregory knows this, and he knows that the policies of his dreamboat Obama have been abysmal, so he sets up the (incorrect) strawman of Obama = Bush on Iran. The most embarrassing part is that Gregory is so ham handed and obvious that he leaves himself no room to claim even “devil’s advocate” in the clumsy exchange, and it’s clear that he hardly cares. So long as the focus of discussion is somewhere other than Obama, Gregory (like his employer, NBC News) couldn’t care less about something as insignificant journalistic integrity.

So with your thinking either the population has reduced tremendously or there are so many people on welfare not wanting to get off of it that we dont have a problem anymore. If these numbers had been used by bush his unemployment rate would have been 2-3%  so i guess there was no recession under him.You really need to check your ego because noone is being sent after you,,your not that important.

    This is all the fallout from 2007. If you recall, Bush’s sanctions regime was destroying the Iranian government… gas lines in the streets, riots, an impending election… then you libs had to fabricate a 2007 NIE that essentially said, “Iran is no threat”. And remember what a collective sigh of relief you all had that Big Bad Bush was put in his place and all those Dreaded Neocons weren’t allowed to do to Iran what they did to Iraq? And the entire sanctions regime collapsed, and all our European consenus on the matter evaporated. It turns out later that – oops – the NIE was a lie, and Germany’s Intel Ops had to even testify to that in a german court. So we lost our last, best chance to end this relatively peacefully just to appease the far Left who hated George Bush and wanted his head no matter what the price. And in this case, the price may very well be the Second Holocaust. Since then, Obama passed up two moments the intervene: 2008 and 2010. It’s the appeasement of the Left in general and Obama specifically that lead us to this point precisely where there “are no good options”.

    It does matter if the candidates are chosen by certain powerful interests or by the people. It does matter if other groups are given time to form a political party that might have a chance instead of one that gets run over by the powerful interests.

    Sorry i have to spell it out for you cajun. I thought maybe with a little thinking you could come to realize that we are all talking about the muslim brotherhood here, a proven RADICAL  muslim organization. Also understood to be “zealots”. There you go showing your true colors again, everytime conservatives talk about someone other than a white person they are instantly bigots. I know you and your ilk dont want to say what is the truth, radical muslims exist and want to destroy US. I dont keep a list of every time i read where things are said because i do it a lot. I just remember it kinda like you  remember all you do. Do you have documentation for all you say on here or do you just remember a lot of it? It sure is funny how everything we believe in is “spin” but all you believe is the truth. Its like that because it makes libs arguments easier to bring out your chosen words. RESPONCE TO CAJUN BELOW.

    Yep,,Palin is more intelligent than obama. And as i said you only listen to news that wont show you his miscues. I did see hers,it was easy to,,she was pretty much on display for all to see, unlike your obama that was never shown. Lets see,,he said there was 57 states, said it was marine (c)orpsmen.He thinks austrian is a language, says “uh” constantly (conservatives get ripped for pauses),said “my muslim faith” which wouldnt be bad except he claims to be christian,said there was 10,000 dead in tornado in kansas,said he was in texas when he was in kansas (I think it was that way around,,cant exactly remember the details) which again wouldnt be so bad if it werent for a repub candidate would get ripped for the same thing. There are several more but thats just off the top of my head.

    Lol..funny coming from you. I didnt say you were suppose to do anything did i? What did i say that was losing my grip? Do you actually think that overthrowing a dictator is democracy? ,,,really???? Or was it when i just said what has been reported by everyone from cbs to fox to newsweek to rush limbaugh to chris matthews, early signs are that the muslim brotherhood is taking control.

    I watch “Faux” News. The question is, do you watch FOX NEWS??  They don’t deal with Facts on that network. Have you heard of Politifact?   It would take you all night to count the lies they spew out on a dailyy basis.

    Okay, you done it.
    Your belief in the intellectual superiority of a backwater college dropout over a Harvard Law Review editor and graduate, says pretty much all that needs be said.
    You’ve lost any and every possibility of credibily with that one.

    No. You were saying that Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood, not that they were taking control.
    And an overthrow of a dictator by the people is the first step toward creating and establishing a democracy.
    Wtf else?

    And the problem is that Mr James Crugnale, the *wink wink*, the “reporter” who wrote this piece, NEVER at any time asks himself exactly what was David Gregory doing  DEFENDING  the President! So pervasive is the bias that it goes unnoticed, like values at a Democrat convention!

    Please look at some random youtube videos of Palin and Obama – those gaffes during campaigning might be good to have a joke with but simply cannot be compared with the ignorance and inanity of Palin – those were not gaffes, it was the display of her ‘Weltanschauung’.

    Chew on this idiot:

    Overtures to Egypt’s Islamists Reverse Longtime U.S. Policy

    (NY Times)
    — CAIRO — With the Muslim Brotherhood pulling within reach of an outright majority in Egypt’s new Parliament, the Obama administration has begun to reverse decades of mistrust and hostility as it seeks to forge closer ties with an organization once viewed as irreconcilably opposed to United States interests.

    The administration’s overtures — including high-level meetings in recent weeks — constitute a historic shift in a foreign policy held by successive American administrations that steadfastly supported the autocratic government of President Hosni Mubarak in part out of concern for the Brotherhood’s Islamist ideology and historic ties to militants.

    Embracing the Muslim Brotherhood is an Obama administration policy decision, just as overthrowing Mubarak was. This is failed Jimmy Carter foreign policy on steroids.
