If you blinked, then you missed it. Rick Santorum was on the panel on Meet the Press. The panel was discussing the Republican suit against the president.
David Gregory said that if a Republican president had delayed parts of the implementation as President Obama did, Democrats would have cried foul. Jennifer Granholm, former governor of Michigan, would have none of it. Granholm pointed out that during the Medicaid Part D implementation former President George W Bush delayed implementation of certain pieces and nobody said anything about it. She called the suit hogwash, "the legal equivalent of birtherism."
Who is the journalist? Shouldn’t Gregory have known that? Had she not been competent in knowing the realities that today’s journalists seem unable to find on their own, the wrong impression would have been left by his assertion-like question. Granholm also pointed out that Republicans voted overwhelmingly to delay the very provision they are suing the president for delaying. Did Gregory not know that either?
I am pleased to see someone else noticed that some on MSNBC were acting like as I called them "illegitimate cuzzin' of Fox and friends", perfect example of my thoughts they let the last thing republicans say stand as perceived by viewers as true because he did not bother to correct it. to have such a prestigious position on MTP he sure lacks the integrity of that seat.
Gregory asked Santorum about the divisiveness in the Republican Party with respect to different policies.
Santorum did a very good job of keeping the topic on the problems within the Republican Party. He even stated that they needed a positive message that spoke to the blue collar worker. He said that was the reason for writing his book Blue Collar Conservatives: Recommitting to an America That Works.
Unasked, out of context, and out of the blue Gregory blurted out "the Obama economy." It is obvious where his thoughts were. You could see a slight controlled surprise on Granholm’s face.
I too was not as surprised that he let that out but more of a confirmation of his politics being tilted to the right. by saying what he did it immediately took the admitted guilt by Santorum and redirected it to Pres. that wasn't a gaffe that was his belief, if you're going to act like one come out of the closet and be one, right wing water carrier that is.
