11. Romney will go on and on about women this and that in the middle east.

Obama is in a tough position because he has been dealing with the people in the middle east as they and their beliefs exist today while Romney has not had to deal with them so he can paint a picture of his foreign policy that helps women and girls a great deal and a hell of a lot more than the people of the middle east are willing to move today. Obama is tied down by the reality on the ground for the last 4 years. Romney is free to try and get the women's vote in the USA through the very real threat of what does or could happen to women's rights in middle east. I hope Obama can get out of such a trap. It goes without saying that Obama wants great women's rights in the Middle East but that message may be lost if Obama isn't careful.
