Team Obama Accuses Romney Of ‘Bluster’ Ahead Of Foreign Policy Debate

[DonViejo]

With the attacks in Benghazi, Libya still haunting President Obama, his campaign appears ready to play offense. On the eve of the final presidential debate on foreign policy, Democrats Sunday drew a portrait of Romney as an untested politician who bungled his way through a summer trip abroad and could potentially “bluster” his way into a war with Iran.

With appearances on the Sunday talk show circuit and a new campaign video, Team Obama made a concerted effort to paint Mitt Romney as a risky choice for commander in chief while shaming Republicans for politicizing the Libya attacks.

“People want to know that they have a strong, steady hand in the Oval Office,” David Axelrod, a top adviser to the Obama campaign, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” And they don’t want someone who’s reckless and who’s been consistently wrong on foreign policy issues, as Governor Romney has.”

Axelrod continued: “We all remember his Dukes of Hazard tour of international destinations of the summer where he not only roiled countries that are not as friendly to us, but our best ally, Britain. He was wrong on Libya. He was wrong on Iraq.”

1. romney's a Blunder Blustering ass who will

come to the debate tomorrow like a rabid rat cornered in his own trap.

[ffr]

2. I can't think of anything Obama has done that would "haunt" his legacy

That sounds more like a Republican talking point and a weak one at that.

6. that's what I thought too! Frankly, Obama has been the BEST at foreign policy.

The repugs can't touch him on it, but they try. They have politicized the death of our Ambassador, to the point where his family is telling them to stop. But they persist. The Romney campaign and his financial backers are devoid of humanity.

3. Yes, Obama should use that exact word: wreckless.

That's exactly what he is. We've seen it with his saber rattling on Iran and Syria. And we've seen it in the way he jumped on Benghazi before knowing any facts. Not only that, this characterization will ring true with the American people. They see it in his personality, they've see it in his bullying of both candidates and moderators in the primary and presidential debates. And I suspect we'll see Romney continue to show this same behavior in tomorrow's debate, too, so calling out his short fuse, irresponsible words and wrecklessness in the debate, while he's exhibiting exactly those kinds of behaviors for all to see, would be effective.

4. Good! Get Romney pissed-off enough to do or say something REALLY stupid....

....as opposed to the stupid stuff he says every day.

5. THIS is why I love the Obama Campaign

"We all remember his Dukes of Hazard tour of international destinations of the summer" Dukes of Hazard? OMG.
