Barack Obama: it’s a choice between ‘reckless and wrong or steady and strong’

October 23rd, 2012

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Mr Romney told him during the debate: “Attacking me is not an agenda”.
The pamphlet will be distributed to voters in key states.

Refocusing attention on domestic struggles after a disappointing night
debating foreign policy, Mr Romney released a television advertisement
warning that a second Obama term would mean “higher debt, lower
take-home pay, and people struggling for work”.

Republicans were smarting after Mr Obama used the debate to boast repeatedly
of having Osama bin Laden killed while aggressively dismissing Mr Romney’s
credentials as a potential commander in chief. “This is not a game of
Battleship,” he told him.

“On a whole range of issues, whether it’s the Middle East, whether it’s
Afghanistan, whether it’s Iraq or whether it’s now Iran, you have been all
over the map,” said Mr Obama, who peppered his answers with references
to Mr Romney’s “reckless” plans.

The president mocked him for complaining that the US Navy had fewer ships than
in 1916, saying “we also have fewer horses and bayonets” – and for
labelling Russia as America’s number-one foe. “The 1980s called,”
Mr Obama said. “They want their foreign policy back.”

A poll of undecided voters by CBS News found 53 per cent thought Mr Obama had
won, and 23 per cent Mr Romney. Some 71 per cent thought Mr Obama would do
better in an international crisis. A poll of voters in battleground states
by PPP put the president’s victory at 53-42.

The former Massachusetts governor, who was repeatedly reminded that he had no
experience in foreign affairs, tried to fight back by accusing the president
of encouraging Iran to press on with its nuclear programme and failing to
control the spread of jihadism into Africa by apologising for America.

“They saw weakness where they expected to see American strength,” Mr
Romney said of Iran. Using the Sept 11 attack in Benghazi as an example of
Mr Obama’s Middle East policy “unravelling”, he said: “It
presents an enormous threat to America, to our friends and to the world.”

Mr Romney, who has stridently threatened military action against Iran,
repeatedly tried to reassure war-weary moderate voters that he had no
intention of casually sending US troops to a new conflict.

“We don’t want another Iraq, we don’t want another Afghanistan,” he
said, attempting to blunt Mr Obama’s central attack line. “That’s not
the right course for us.” In the Middle East, he said, “we can’t
kill our way out of this mess”.

Yet this abrupt attempt at high-mindedness allowed Mr Obama repeatedly to
thank his challenger for agreeing with his policies while adding that “you’d
say them louder and somehow that would make a difference”.

Despite its focus on foreign affairs, both men repeatedly swivelled discussion
back to domestic economic policy, which is the top priority for most voters.

Claiming the president was making America vulnerable by expanding its national
debt and reducing defence spending, Mr Romney said: “We need a strong
economy, we need as well a strong military,” he said.

Yet Mr Obama struck back at his promise to increase defence spending by $2
trillion, calling instead for “nation building at home”. After
refraining from personal criticism in his disastrous first debate in
Colorado three weeks ago, Mr Obama sharply attacked Mr Romney’s
controversial business career as the head of Bain Capital, a private equity
firm.

When Mr Romney criticised Mr Obama over Iran, he was reminded that until
recently part of his $250 million (£160 million) fortune was invested in a
Chinese oil company that did business with Tehran.

Promising to declare China a currency manipulator on “day one” of
his presidency to stop the unfair poaching of American jobs, Mr Romney was
told that he should know about outsourcing because firms his company owned
had “shipped jobs overseas”.
