Santorum: Obama refuses to condemn evil
By Aaron Blake

Former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) laid into President Obama's response to the unrest in Egypt on Thursday, accusing him of siding against an American ally.

Santorum, who is likely to announce a run for president in the coming months, spent much of his time at the podium at CPAC criticizing the president's foreign policy and suggesting Obama hasn't learned the lessons of history.

He accused Obama of siding with Iranian leaders during the protests there two years ago and now siding against Egypt, an American ally in the Middle East.

"And so what does this president do when faced with that situation, he sides with that regime," Santorum said. "This time, what does the president of the United States do? He sides with the protesters."

"It send the message that when things get tough, we'll walk away."

Santorum, playing off a theme used by other speakers - the comparison between Obama and Ronald Reagan - suggested Obama has none of the foreign policy chops of the 40th president.

"President Obama has refused to look at the situation in Iran and Egypt and around that world and to call evil, evil. To identify the enemy," Santorum said. "This is someone who doesn't believe in truth and evil and America.

3. We have troops in the field right now. IN THE FIELD!!!!
And for anyone to second guess the commander in chief is nothing short of treason.

7. Why is it necessary to condemn evil???
Republicans have nothing to offer except empty gestures. Condemning evil doesn't help anything in anyway.

As if by not condemning evil, no one is really sure if Obama is for or against evil

15. Republicans Are Evil
They are the most vile creatures on the planet and should be eliminated for the sake of the planet. Their double standards and hypocrisy are unbelievable

16. I agree with you.
And I am totally ready to sacrifice friends and family members for the cause. An added plus is that a lot of homes will be left empty and that will solve the homeless problem.

8. The Welfare Queen Rick Santorum is back.
Do we really need this welfare queen Rick Santorum who demanded his locality pay for expensive home schooling all the while he was maintaining a primary residence in another state? (Plus, unrelated adults were living in the home.)

This is a sorry out-of-touch subversive from the political group MormonChurch. MormonChurch has raised thousands of dollars to finance their overt political activities. This political group MormonChurch must stop fraudently taking in taxpayer dollars from taxpayers who do not share their specific political goals.

Polygamy and child abuse are bad, too.

9. Warped world view. People can be good or evil. Santorum thinks he
is in an elite camp that is the "good". Not the way humans work Santorum.

Obama should be on the side of justice, truth and compassion.

12. Yeah, let's copy Reagan. Let's create another Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
And while we're at it, let's cut and run from Beirut.

Good grief, what these people have drunk when it comes to Reagan is beyond Kool-Aid.
