(2,338 posts)He doesn't care about world events. He doesn't care about families in pain. He doesn't care about inciting more violence.
He doesn't care about anyone except himself. When you live in his kind of world, nothing is as important as being thought of as important. FAIL.

(6,150 posts)How many Americans will care about this? Or think Romney did something wrong?
I do think that Obama and Clinton tried to do a lot of fence-mending. Obama's drones have not been well publicized, so it's possible that a lot of Americans don't know how forceful he's been in the Middle East. We are a strange country, and many Americans are more concerned about "the USA is #1" than being part of a global network. So what matters to them is what we say, more than what we do. For some people, what Romney did was the RIGHT thing. Rush in like a cowboy. Show the country that "Obama is a wimp", and come across as a tough guy.
So, even though the media has denounced him, he's had to backpedal, his party is disgusted, Democrats are laughing at his ridiculousness and the entire State Department cringes at the thought of having him for a President, I don't think most Americans actually see what he did wrong.
I think it needs to be summarized in some short sound-bite type fashion. And still, for some people "Obama is bad for the economy" or "Obama is a black Muslim born in Kenya who wants to make this a socialist country with anti-Christian values"... are the only reasons they're voting for Romney, and his weakness of foreign policy doesn't matter.

(18,124 posts)but today it's all robme on main stream media.One quote from morning shows, "robme timing may have been off but statement about embassy tweet stand on it's own merit as appeasement and apology to terrorists. These MSM FOOLS in their attempt to make the election appear close are still allowing rethug lies with no push back from our democratic side. Where are they today backing up our President? But right on Babylon sister, as is usual, you put one between the eyes.
