Mitt Romney: Obama Has Low-level of Experience, Failed to Get Jobs Back for the US & Emboldened NKorea & Iran

Marc Schenker
Mitt Romney, potential future GOP candidate for president, has branded Barack Obama for having a low-level of experience, failing to get jobs back for the US, and for emboldening terrorist states NKorea and Iran. At a sit-down with Sean Hannity to promote his new book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, Romney was appreciably blunt about his contemptuous opinion of Obama's performance (or lack thereof) on his first year on the job. Essentially charging that Obama failed on the most important duties of a president-economic and foreign policy-Romney seemed to also be positioning himself at the head of a pack of GOP candidates to challenge Obama in 2012. If his Hannity appearance wasn't tough enough on Obama, his book also accuses "the anointed one" of worsening anti-Americanism across the globe with his policies.

Coming out of the gate swinging, Romney, apparently, has been a diligent student of Obama's performance (or lack thereof) because as soon as Hannity served up the question to him regarding just what Obama's problem is, Romney unloaded bluntly and confidently. Jobs and the economy? Why, Obama has turned his back, negligently, on the primary job of any president: Getting jobs back for Americans! Terrorism and foreign policy? In that respect, Obama has neglected US interests once more by diverting energies to that crock known as the infamous Obamacare, health care "reform!" Certainly, Romney is a partisan Republican, but what makes his reasoning so convincingly powerful is that the empirical evidence backs it up! Why else would Obama's poll numbers be so dead if the aforementioned wasn't totally true?!

In his analysis of the president, Romney also tried to psychoanalyze him to an extent, asserting that his track record over the last year is something worse than just merely being tone deaf. Using the old pirate analogy, Romney accused Obama of making his own party in Congress "walk the plank," which, curiously, may even be something that Obama wants. Romney passed on an anecdote he was told concerning the frame of mind of Obama as it relates to his seemingly fanatical will to lose as many Democrat seats in Congress so long as Obamacare goes through. It may just be that Obama actually wants to lose Congress to the GOP in the fall, so to use the new GOP majority there as lowly scapegoats when his policies are revealed not to turn around the economy as fast as they could have had Obama implemented more economically friendly policies.

On the issue of dealing with hostile countries-both real enemies like NKorea and Iran as well as so-called "friends" like Russia that are kept around only due to realpolitik-Romney really ripped into Obama, making another convincing case that Obama has blundered irretrievably. Romney mocked Obama's utter naivete in relentlessly giving the proverbial carrot to so-called "friends" like Russia by agreeing to move the missile defense system out of Eastern Europe...yet in return, the Russians even refused to support tough sanctions that the US wanted on Iran, for instance! Skipping to NKorea and Iran, Romney bluntly condemned Obama for emboldening both dictatorships to continue their respective nuke developments without shame.

As for Romney's book itself, it just develops further the stinging tongue-lashing of the former MA governor against Obama, only in print form, naturally. Some choice excerpts include: "In a world composed of nations that are filled with rage and hate for the United States, our president should proudly defend her rather than continually apologize for her." This is naturally a reference to Obama's incurable disease of not being able to stop himself from bending over backwards to third world, dictator countries and then apologizing for the US...like he has something to be sorry about! Romney even goes so far as to blame Obama for stirring anti-American sentiment against the country by writing, "There are anti-American fires burning all across the globe; President Obama's words are like kindling to them." And on this, I completely agree with the former governor.

    Another great article. We can not blame Bush only for no jobs, and as of yet, Obama hasn't brought any back. Further, with all the democrats in office, he should have a rather easy job of accomplishing a lot, unfortunately, Obama is too worried with being on television to run our country. Romney is a well-spoken, intelligent man. Who knows if he would be a good president, but he can't be any more useless than what we have.

    Well now, let's see; Bush caused the problem with jobs, Obama is working to try and get them back but with the Republican party pulling against him on every angle, so, I would like to see what happens when Romney gets in there. Probably we will have the rich getting richer again and the poor getting poorer again and the middle class, what's left of it remaining the only ones being drain of everything to try and decrease the debt America has been in since Bush's era of calamity!

    Don't worry, Obama will stop bending over for the dictators when the terrorists manage to strike and kill a few more thousand americans.
