NBC’s David Gregory Calls Obama Admin’s Libya Response ‘Sluggish, Sloppy, And Incoherent’

During an appearance on NBC’s Today Show Friday morning, Meet the Press host David Gregory called the Obama administration’s response to the September 11th violent attacks in Benghazi, Libya, “sluggish, sloppy, and incoherent at some times.”

Host Savannah Guthrie had asked Gregory to assess each candidate’s chances in next Monday’s foreign policy-focused president debate. Gregory mentioned that Romney had several “missteps” in the previous debate regarding the Libya question, but also noted that Obama is facing criticism for “his talking points on this, on Jon Stewart saying when four Americans are killed it’s ‘not optimal.'”

“There’s still some confusion,” he noted, “about how the administration response on this was both sluggish, sloppy, and incoherent at some times.”
