David Gregory to Hillary Clinton: Might GOP Hurt U.S. Prestige and Obama on World Stage?

I'm not surprised. If the media can reduce things to the basest emotional reactionism and/or keep people going for each others throats then they don't have to think too much, move forward, or address the real heart of issues they have no real understanding of. The American people are told what the "news" of the day is every night by people who are stupendously less intelligent and thoughtful than the average American. I fail to see the difference anymore between the "journalists" and people like Jerry Springer.

I didn't see this, but I saw his interview with Gov. Jindal and he did pretty much the same thing.  Kept trying to convince him that the government wasn't to blame for the BP oil leak mess.

What prestige is this a-hat talking about?

He just came back from getting his hand slapped by at least 4 leaders and I MEAN REAL leaders of other countries.

Remember we were TOLD that the world would start loving us once the bower in chief took charge, is that the prestige he means?

I give Hilarity credit for not running with the liberal hack torch that was being passed to her.  

Journalism today......Democrats, good!  Republicans, bad!  This pimp with the bad haircut isn't even subtle in his leftist leanings anymore. These obama enablers will go to any length to protect the puppet in the White House.  I love the way dumbocrats get open ended softball questions while Republicans get "Negative" questions and are constantly interrupted when answering.  No wonder, since this lightweight took over after Russert's death the show continues to tank.

Little David is so busy spouting the party line.  What a twit.  I'm sure he ascribes to the maxim that sums up NBC/MSNBC, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.."

Journalism is DEAD AND BURIED!

...which they consider "Obama's City," world leaders are laughing at him behind his back (when they aren't telling him to his face to go pound sand), his hand-picked AG lackey can't even convict a Muslim terrorist who blew up several hundred people, and this goober is worried that the incoming repubs are going to damage American prestige in the eyes of the world?

Seriously, have we somehow swerved into an alternate universe or something?

There will never be a day when David Gregory's name is mentioned admiringly in the same sentence as Tim Russert, and rightfully so.  David Gregory can't help himself, as an employee of NBCU, from demonstrating his liberal biases and he'll never treat a Democrat the same as a Republican.  What's truly unacceptable in this day and age is that people like Gregory, Williams, Couric and others are completely comfortable in demostrating their liberalness, day in and day out, without any fear of being held to a higher standard.  Of course, in their case, they would be looking at the likes of Rather and Brokaw, neither of whom were any better.

The Obama's couldn't even get the Olympics to be held in Chicago when things were supposedly the darlings of the world.  It's time to stop worrying what the world thinks, and just do the right thing.

Let's start with getting rid of Obama in 2012.

If by 'prestige on the world stage', Gregory means 'the pompous American jackass who comes into the room, negotiates himself into a losing position every time, screws up everything he touches and makes everyone else whisper and giggle about him', well, YES, I believe the GOP may actually screw that up. They may, just MAY force this fool of a President to go to the table with some Pro-American negotiating because if he comes home with any more crap like he's been striving to accomplish, they'll just cut the funding off.

When he was negotiating Afghanistan and the nuclear pressure on North Korea and Iran, did Gregory ever ask Dr. Condoleeza Rice if the Democrat opposition and assertions the wars were being lost and that Bush lied were hurting him in the international stage? This is so stupid and the bias so obvious that David Gregory should be ashamed.

We all know that David Gregory and the rest of his merry band of liberal buddies will do anything to defend this administration.  Those who voted for BHO have done this country great harm that will take years to recover from.

Oh, those embarassing Republicans. We should keep them locked up in the bedroom so they won't go embarassing Obama in front of the guests.

First, it's not clear that the treaty's verification provisions are adequate. Second, the treaty's failure to take into account Russia's enormous tactical nuclear weapons arsenal (more than 10 times larger than that of the U.S.) and the limitations it places on U.S. conventional global strike capabilities are serious flaws. Third, the treaty links missile defense to strategic arms reduction—a linkage that had been wisely broken by the Bush administration.

++++

As a result, concessions to Russian demands make it difficult to support Senate approval of the new treaty, known as New Start, as it currently stands. Why has the administration agreed to a treaty that limits our nonnuclear long-range weapons and runs the risk of constraining our missile defenses? And why did the treaty end up with verification provisions substantially more lax than those negotiated in the 1991 Start treaty?

The Senate’s resolution of ratification should, for example, require the president to commit to specific modernization plans so we can be sure these programs will have his full support. The administration has particularly resisted warhead modernization, beginning with its Nuclear Posture Review last year. This led 10 former directors of the nation’s nuclear weapons labs to write to the secretaries of Defense and Energy urging them to revisit that misguided policy. The secretaries should commit to doing so.

Second, it is crucial for the Senate to require that, in the ratification instruments that would be exchanged with Russia, it be made clear that New Start in no way constrains our development and deployment of the most effective missile-defense capabilities.

Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona said there wasn't time to deal with his concerns over a treaty that would cut U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear weapons deployments by about one third and restore weapons inspections that were halted nearly a year ago. Treaty ratification requires 67 votes in the Senate. Mr. Kyl's decision likely pushes a vote to next year, when the Senate Democratic majority shrinks to 53 from 58. 

The treaty, signed with fanfare last year in Prague, would cap deployed strategic warheads at 1,550 a side, compared with 2,200 set in a nonbinding 2002 treaty, and launchers at 700 each, compared with 1,600 set by the expired START. Ratification was supposed to launch a more ambitious round of negotiations aimed at nondeployed, or mothballed, strategic warheads and smaller, battlefield nuclear weapons untouched by the treaty.

Gregory: ...a problem with the president not being able to get what he wants on the world stage because of Republicans...

 Why not? He did not get what he wants on the world stage for 2 years without them.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Boy Blunder has 'hurt the prestige' of our country on just about EVERY subject and stage that he has touched...................and I'm pretty sure that this was the result that he wanted - except that the rest of the world isn't buying into his OWN opinion of himself, so he, too, is viewed with disrespect and non-credibility. Of course, the guy is too self=absorbed to realize that he IS the problem................

As far as U.S. losing prestige in the in the world, between Osama and Hillary, that ship has already sailed starting in Jan. 2009. 

Is Greggory serious? Like Obama isn't capable of tarnishing his own reputation? Is this guy joking?

Gregory is ether trying to score an exclusive on air interview with Obama or he wants in on some private spooning sessions in the White House between Obama and his " special " friends...nod,nod,wink, wink.

When they can't blame Bush, they'll blame Congress.  Truth is, Obama is a failure.

As she reads from Soro's hand written notes.  Thank you Hillary.  May your girlfriend keep you warm at night, and the Communists dangle you out the window after they drop Obama.
 

.....was a particular pain in the a** with his biased and leading questions to GWB's press secretary, when he was the WhiteHouse reporter for NBC, but now that he's their political icon, he's graduated from being a pain in the a** to just a plain a**hole. 

BTW, nice Oppie look-a-like hair-do.

 Seems I remember Tony Snow calling Monkey-Boy a partisan.David didn't like that.

Obama has single-handedly done more to hurt his own image as well as America's image in the international community than anyone or any group could have. He has only himself to blame but is expected to blame everyone else.

Oblahma has already hurt the US prestige.........he is a buffoon, an arrogant , do nothing, narcissistic clown.......and its not a secret!!!!

he has his own big, fat, stupid, mouth.  Against a tool like that, what can a Republican do?

The question is...

David Gregory to Hillary Clinton: Might GOP Hurt U.S. Prestige and Obama on World Stage?

Me think the “Prestige” of the Presidency was damaged more by Obama going after a radio talk show host than anything the Repubs could do.

Operation “RushBo” could only have 2 possible outcomes.

Either you raise the “Prestige” of a “radio talk show host” to be equal to that of the POTUS, OR, you lower the “Prestige” of the Presidency to be equal to that of the POTUS .
