I still disagree with the characterization of Mr. Romney having zero foreign policy experience. The governor of any state interacts internationally concerning commerce. I don't have time to cite exact dates and times of then Governor Romney's travels and hosting of foreign dignitaries or business people.....but I'm certain it happened when he governed Mass.
Then there is the small matter of organizing the Winter Olympics in Utah. The Olympics are a foreign affair and Mr. Romney did just fine in organizing an event that was heading for the shoals.
As for President Obama's "vast" foreign affairs experience, I would have to ask how all that is playing out for us as a nation today? Where is all the love and respect I heard the left promise? I'm just not seeing it. He may have extraordinary foreign policy experience but I don't see evidence of that experience being applied for the good of our nation.
I know you are in the can for Mr. Obama and can't see it....but someday history will tell the real story.

It's a good thing for Mitt Romney the English do not have a vote in American elections, as they are "united" against him becoming the next president of the United States, David Cameron is reported to have said.
Speaking to the BBC's Marr programme on Sunday, American film producer Harvey Weinstein claimed the prime minister made the observation in the wake of the Republican candidate's gaffe-prone visit to London in July.
"Mitt Romney has that unique distinction of uniting all of England against him with his various remarks," Cameron is said to have told a group of people including Weinstein.
Romney's visit to Britain in July on the eve of the Olympics was largely overshadowed by his questioning of London's readiness to host the Games.
The comments led Cameron to rebuke the presidential candidate by poking fun at Romney's stewardship of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
