President Romney's Foreign Policy

He will instantly attack Russia and we will all die horribly in searing pain.
 
and everyone on the wrong side of the Mississippi will die. But we will sell that land to the Chinese for cheap!
 
How will the world see him?

honestly, i'd love to read a good explanation as to why his public perception around the world is THAT important.

bush apparently had a 'bad' image. the world seemed to love obama. but has commerce, trade, lending, relations with other countries actually been affected by such qualities as to whether or not the foreign public does or doesn't love the guy?

the only time i can recall it that it seemed to make any significant difference was when reagan took over from carter.
 
I think he looks very presidential, hes articulate.I dont seem him as someone who will embarrass us globally. As to actual policy, I dont think hes a bold man. I expect he will try to maintain the status quo wherever possible.

Very close to my thought as well.

I was sort of thinking about the Carter-Reagan thing when I started the thread. But I also saw Rick Steves give a talk about his travels in Iran a few years ago and he said the first question every Iranian he met asked him was "What is with Bush? Is he crazy?" I'm not sure if that makes any difference either. I guess maybe the fact that Putin was able to play Bush like a fiddle might have had some impact.

Makes sense. It kind of seems like there's no "there" there. I wonder if he has a coherent policy.

He will greatly contribute to the deepening of the crisis between Middle East and Western world (more importandly - the USA) by openly supporting only one side of the original conflict - Israel. He already made that clear. He is not going to try to mediate the conflict, he had already picked a side, which is an example of bad international politics. I do have a hope he might not show it so clearly, however.

He's also demonstrated his willingness to be completely stuck in the 50's by declaring "Russia is without question our number one geopolitical foe.”

Da, Tovarishch. Da.

I agree, supporting the only country in the middle-east that likes America is a bad thing. :cool::D

Shhh, dont get the conservatives started on Russia, according to them libs have been helping prop up our "worst enemy" for 50 years.:rolleyes:

It really doesn't matter whether or not the president supports Israel or not. Anything short of dropping a hydrogen bomb on Tel-Aviv and the radicals will call him a Zionist Jew.
 
It is sad that so many people think the Daily Show is great place to learn about politics. They end up sounding stupider than ditto heads.....
 
Oh, Romney might do some wimpy thing like lease some of Russia's land to use for a bombing range, then let his pals operate the drone controls.
