Mitt Romney defends foreign policy as polls slip

Source: BBC News

Mitt Romney has defended his criticism of President Barack Obama's foreign policy, as new US polls suggest the president is ahead with voters.

In an interview with ABC News, Mr Romney described as "inappropriate" a US embassy response to an anti-Islam film which sparked protests.

The Republican candidate added he would like to bring Egypt "closer" to the US.

Polls released a week after the end of the US party conventions show Mr Obama leading nationally and in swing states.

2. Every word

That he says is a lie and so so offensive. This is a very sad time for our country and we need to stand in unity but he only divides. I think the polls will slip even more by next week. So So sorry Willard Mitt Romney.

6. If it was Palin

she'd print a world map, cut out most of the Atlantic with scissors and then stick the two remaining halves back together. Egypt would be closer.

He would like to bring a lot of young US military troops closer to Egypt.

He works for Karl Rove, so his messages have to be decoded, sort of like we had to do with Bush.

5. The Lonely War

Despite Mitt Romney's campaign offering the sharpest words on the U.S. embassy riots in the middle east, they've managed to gain the rhetorical edge by getting President Barack Obama to virtually dub the issue as taboo, as far as election politics go. But that's not necessarily a good thing.
