Mitt Romney blames former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton along with President Barack Obama for the situation in Ukraine, saying they both misunderstood the world stage.
Theres no question, but that over the four years where he and Secretary Clinton were working together, and now the year since then, its hard to name a single country that holds America in more esteem and respect than when the president took office five years ago, Romney said on Fox Newss Hannityon Tuesday. It has not been a time of building Americas respect and admiration and esteem and frankly our soft power or our hard power around the world.
Romney invoked Clinton seen as the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 when asked about Obamas response to a question during a press conference in Europe on Tuesday about Romneys 2012 assertion that Russia was the U.S.s No. 1 geopolitical foe and whether the situation in Ukraine proves that to be true. Obama was dismissive, but Romney said the president knows it is accurate, even if he doesnt want to admit it.
We need a president that understands that not everybody around the world has the same interests. Some people around the world want to oppress other people and expand territory, and take from the resources of other people, Romney said. Thats whats happening. The jihadists want to do that, clearly Russia is intent on doing that.

(60,536 posts)I was doubtful but, there's just too many "Romney says..." or, "Romney thinks..." nonsense stories appearing now. So, I'm really thinking Mitt and Queen Ann are believing in the old adage, "the third time's the charm." Lucky America!

(30,253 posts)What's with him lately? Is he peddling a new book or is he planning another run for president? Why is he all over the place?
As for his nonsensical accusations against Obama and Hillary, what again is his experience in foreign policy? Crickets......

(13,704 posts)convinced me he comes close to being another Geo.W.Bush. He seems to me a man who depends heavily on others to make his decisions and take care of his responsibilities. Underneath it all he is a wet dishcloth.

(505 posts)And why would even Fox viewers care about Hannity since he was tossed into a ratings dungeon. Hearing about Mitten's reanimation from Valley of the Vanquished, I am always reminded of his stadium rally:.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/24/mitt-romney-economic-speech-falls-flat-stadium
