26. There are any number of legitimate foreign policy angles on this

A very real Foreign Policy angle on this would be how the USA is
supposed to be an example to the world, about how democracy
is cherished and honored here as a way to govern that is much
more just and humane than the alternatives. Which is why Obama
is directing his AG Holder to prosecute all election fraud to the fullest
extent of the law, perhaps highlighting how Holder forced Ohio to
allow early voting, against the wishes of GOP officials.

And maybe mention too, that he's not proud of the fact that the UN
Election Monitors have been called in due to high level of suspected
fraud. It doesn't get more "foreign policy" than the UN.

Also, how can US go around the globe, preaching democracy when it
isn't doing democracy at home?
