Mitt Romney’s criticism of President Obama’s foreign policy has been unrelenting. The Republican presidential nominee has said Obama has let US dominance fall by the wayside, botched military withdrawals, let Iran move closer to nuclear capability, coddled China, and mishandled the Arab revolutions.
Obama, in turn, has suggested that Romney is a foreign policy novice who is posturing on Iran. Romney, he says, risks dragging a war-weary nation into another conflict, will sacrifice domestic programs to spend an extra and unneeded $2 trillion on defense, and will let a band of neoconservatives from the George W. Bush administration regain power.

Last week I saw a photo of the U.S. president and the Venezualan president smiling broadly and gazing adoringly at each other. President Obama had his had placed warmly on Hugo Chavez's shoulder as he clasped his hand in congratulations for winning reelection. It was so obvious that they enjoyed a strong sense of camradship. I scanned this photo and taped it to the rear window of my car next to my Romeny sign. So far, no rabid Obama worshipper has tried to run me off the road. Those who decry conspiracy theorists see the photo and no words are necessary.
You NEVER put Democrats in-charge of foreign policy and economics! If you didn't understand that simple truth of life three years ago you certainly should understand it by now!!
Profox, your statement and picture on the back of your car is LUDICRIOUS! What court of law would uphold THAT evidence. If you took a picture of Romney and the president before last week's debate they in still picture form looked like good old lifelong friends. Come on give us a break from your conservative NO IRRATIONAL mind!

Agree with lesvalseuses in toto. Moreover, there are rumors in the air (although denied subsequently) that Iran WILL come to the table for bilateral nuclear talks. Even though it was denied it is known that the US under Obama has behind the scenes been trying to negotate a way into discussion. AND THIS is the presidential master, the one who actually 10 years later killed Bin Laden, he is a success and I think much of the electorate is concerned sees him as such. He does NOT shoot first to ask questions later. He asks questions, tries to negotiate saving lives in the process but IF he has to shoot he surely will. Friends of Alawaki a US citizane might attest to that. The president does NOT shrink from pulling the trigger but my guess is he probably does not enjoy it. That is exactly the kind of president we and the world need!
Romney the child bully who cut off a young man's hair because well he simply did not like the boy's style of walking -- too effeminate maybe, brings to his adult self the same kind of bullying tactics. He is so emotionally high wired that Ann herself or maybe it was Tag who said he sometimes has to be pulled aside and comforted. OH GREAT, one can see just how well that could turn out for the nation and the world. God help us if we elect this flip-flopper-in-chief bullier with his finger on the nuclear button. Mushroom cloud anyone? I am NOT kidding!
The choice is clear. Mitt Romney is offering a real plan for a real recovery; we can't afford four more years of fiscal freewheeling and historic levels of debt. As Governor of Massachusetts, he balanced the budget every year without raising taxes and led our state to a credit upgrade. As president, he will cut and cap spending, restore our AAA credit rating, and set us on a path to a balanced budget.
As Governor, Mitt Romney cut taxes 19 times. As president, he has said he won't raise taxes on anyone; He will deliver tax cuts to the middle class; and simplify the tax code to make it simpler, flatter, and fairer.
We know what President Obama will do on spending. President Obama's already increased our debt by $5.5 trillion -- and he'll let our national debt climb to $20 trillion by 2016. He's promised a second stimulus, yet we don't even know where the first one went. If allowed a second term, President Obama will let the debt climb to over $20 trillion -- that's money our children and grandchildren will have to pay back.
