Rick Santorum addressed the crowd at the Values Voter Summit Saturday, offering backup to Mitt Romney’s claim that the current crisis in the Middle East is the fault of President Obama’s policies there.

“This president has to take a share of the responsibility for what the Midde East looks like today because he helped structure it,” Santorum said. He accused Obama of “turning his back on Israel” and other allies in the region.

“If you are a friend of the United States you’re on you’re own,” Santorum said, describing Obama’s foreign policy. “If you’re an enemy of the United States, let’s talk.”
