A reminder on foreign policy and Obama.

Posted: Oct 23, 2012

Remember 2008? One of Obama's weak points was foreign policy....he had NO experience in foreign policy.

A lot of people don't want to vote for Romney because he doesn't have any foreign policy experience. To those people, I would love to know why they would vote for a candidate that had no foreign policy experience one year and four years later refuse to vote for someone because they don't have any foreign policy experience? Doesn't make sense to me.

This post really doesn't need any answers. I'm just pointing out a fact.

Maybe 4 years ago they voted for McCain? - Just sayin5

That might explain why he chose a running mate - who had plenty of it.

I'm sure you'll agree he's been a pretty quick study, considering how eager Romney is to try to share/co-opt the president's current stellar record....AS IF any of us could forget his disastrous foreign policy jaunt overseas last spring. Here's a fact I'd like to point out. Despite his ALLEGED lack of experience (despite his 4 years in the US Senate and service on Foreign Relations, Veterans' Affairs, Homeland Security, and European Affairs committees, and official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa), with his wise choice of a seasoned foreign policy vet, he managed to win the race by an impressive margin.

R&R don't have enough experience between them in this area to write on the palm of their right hand. This was painfully evident last night in the debate.

17 of the 24 foreign policy advisers for Romney - come from the Bush SM

administration. Romney is a parrot, just like Bush was. This is what they want. Remember when they said "We just need someone able to hold a pen". Romney appears to not know what he is talking about, he has no opinions that last more than a week or 2. He has no substance.

These guys may be surprised. His real first team's - in Salt Lake City. nm

He hasn't done a good job at foreign policy himself. In response to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s criticism of his Iran policy, President Obama suggested that the presumed candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination “bone up on foreign policy.” In other words, anyone who disagrees with the president on Iran’s nuclear program, or any other national security issue, is just not knowledgeable enough to understand. Of course, there is a very ...

Excerpt from the SLC Tribune's endorsement of President Obama for reelection: "Obama’s foreign policy record is perhaps his strongest suit, especially compared to Romney’s bellicose posture toward Russia and China and his inflammatory rhetoric regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Obama’s measured reliance on tough economic embargoes to bring Iran to heel, and his equally measured disengagement from the war in Afghanistan, are examples of a nuanced approach to i ...
