Mitt Romney: Obama 'Misunderstood' U.S. Values

BOSTON -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says President Barack Obama has "misunderstood" American values in his policies toward other countries. The Republican nominee is planning a major foreign policy speech in the coming weeks.

Romney on Sunday wrote an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal outlining a foreign policy critique he first made at campaign events following an attack in Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador. Romney is accusing the Obama administration of minimizing the seriousness of that attack and the other threats facing the U.S. in the region.

Romney writes, quote, "our values have been misapplied – and misunderstood" by Obama. He also says Obama has distanced the U.S. from Israel.

The Republican nominee was spending Sunday preparing for his first debate with Obama, set for Wednesday in Denver.

4. Too bad for Romney this is desperation...

Really Mitt?

The foreign policy debate isn't until the 3rd debate and by then if the polling hasn't changed, he's done.

What threats is he going to mention? Are we in danger of an attack on the homeland he's aware of? What's his solution? Talk tough, beat his chest and threaten the Muslims with more war? He really thinks there's an appetite for that these days after a decade of war and a rough economy at home?

Good luck making that sale.
