Will Romney bring up how often he has the same foreign policy as Obama. Or cannot tell the US what he would do differently when having a similar policy.

Is Russia still the number one threat to the US.

Perhaps he should have been briefed on - China-Pakistan- They are the number 1 and 2 threats to the US.

On Iran- Afghanistan there is little difference in their policies- Biden hammered Ryan on what they would do differently- Not much when it comes down to it.

Romney wants to cut diplomats - while increasing the Military- Use of threat of force vice a diplomatic solution-
Last thing the US needs is another war - Going into Syria-
Tell me how Obama should have handled Egypt.

Maybe he is constipated, but at least the sh*t isn't in his head! :lol:

I watched them each talk for close to 20 minutes, not sure who is the winner, Obama appears to be making sense, Romney wants to beef up the military and cut the medicare and I don't like his Cheshire Cat grin.

Well, I just watched this with my wife and I have to say to my eyes, Obama wiped the floor with Romney. The debate was over when Obama quipped "the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back".

Romney was not able to show how he would have done anything realistically different to what Obama has done/is doing, and thus lost by definition. He had to show a different path and failed to do so.

In the end, however, this foreign policy debate, which frequently meandered into domestic subjects like the auto bailout, education and entitlements, may be the one least remembered by voters, conservative columnist and ABC News ****yst George Will said.


“Tonight you saw two men who don’t really disagree all that much talking about subjects concerning that which voters don’t really care that much,” Will said.

The fact that foreign policy is not an issue says a lot about how successful it has been. The neocons will have many differences, as we all know.

After 3 debates what I've heard from Romney is he will create much higher deficits in a game of trickle down roulette (with no real plan) and he will fix Washington by magically making Boehner and others on Capital Hill bipartisan. And of course tonight he said he would spend more on foreign aid. I suppose that money will come from tax deductions.

The pundits all suggested the same thing. The last CNN poll I saw had Obama being the winner in the eyes of 48% of the viewers and Romney considered winner by 40%.

In the end, Romney said it best when he said to Obama: "Attacking me isn't an (national) agenda"

When you really think about it, Obama has attempted to paint his last 4 years as a success when everyone in America doesn't feel that way. Obama's only vociferous commentary is relative to attacking Romney - he can't lean on any real accomplishments and Romney did effectively articulate his mistakes.

In the end, the only poll that counts will be in early November

On top of that Romney has often been previously critical of the things he now says is right. It's easy to second guess and change your future opinions once you see the results but in foreign policy you have to first guess. His first-guessing track record hasn't been very strong, but his after-the-fact armchair quarterbacking is superb.
