Romney says Obama's on an "apology tour."
Romney and his ilk are much too dense to understand a progressive approach to international relations because they still view America as the conqueror.
Obama is saying count us in the global community. We don't want to own it. We want to be part of it. We don't want to push our values on you. We want to hear what you have to say. We want you to hear us and then we want to find a way to live on the same planet. That's strength and confidence. Not invading a country or refusing to meet with other world leaders.
Republican Mitt Romney, seen as a likely contender for the White House in 2012, scolded President Barack Obama on Monday, arguing that he has failed to take a tougher line against U.S. critics in the global arena.But is anyone listening to Romney besides the choir? Check out the comments at CNN. Doesn't seem like anyone cares much for Mitt.
"I take issue with President Obama's recent tour of apology," Romney said. "It's not because America hasn't made mistakes — we have — but because America's mistakes are overwhelmed by what America has meant to the hopes and aspirations of people throughout the world."
Obama has expressed regret while traveling abroad for America's leadership failures and other past conduct.
"This is the time for strength and confidence, not for apologizing to America's critics," Romney said. MSNBC
