Biden Says Romney Would Outsource Foreign Policy


Vice President Joe Biden sharply criticized Mitt Romney in a campaign speech by digging up a Romney quote from 2008, BuzzFeed reports.

Said Romney at the time: "Well, if we want somebody who has a lot of experience in foreign policy, we can simply go to the State Department and pluck out one of the tens of thousands of people who work there... A president is not a foreign policy expert."

Biden: "In my view, the last thing I think we need is a president who will subcontract our foreign policy to some expert at the State Department."
