Related: About this forumMadeleine Albright: 'There's just nothing going on' with Romney
By NBC's Andrew Rafferty
Follow @AndrewNBCNews
DUBLIN, OH Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said her impression after attending a recent Mitt Romney speech is that "there's just nothing going on" with the Republican presidential nominee. She said his understanding of foreign policy not only lacks depth but diminishes U.S. standing abroad.
"He is so two-dimensional. I mean, up close and personal, there's just nothing going on," she said.
Speaking at a Women for Obama rally here just outside of Columbus, OH on Sunday, Albright told the crowd that she had recently been on hand when Romney delivered his address at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York.
"It's the sense that I've had throughout the campaign that it's unclear what [Romney] really believes in," Albright told reporters after the event. "I think when you contrast him with President Obama, who also gave a speech later there, and President Clinton, who spoke several times there, there is not, kind of, a sense of depth."
Albright also mentioned the video of Romney suggesting that 47 percent of Americans view themselves as victims, arguing that the comments "diminish us in many different ways" and that the former Massachusetts governor's rhetoric sounds like he wants to start another war.

(53,410 posts)1. I think he wants to start another war too
And after everything that's been out there about him, the only reason would be for personal profit. Does he have stock in war weapons manufacturing? Or in some form of relief funding that benefits the Mormon church?
My thinking is probably right on.

Have his own private Halliburtons sucking up tax dollars or, like the Idiot King, neglecting to finance any of them.
I won't even discuss the treatment of our fighting men and women nor discuss how the wounded would be treated.

same advisers who manipulated W into 2 wars. That is all.
