It's especially amusing because "Al Queda" doesn't meet the classical definition of a geopolitical threat. And Romney, very gently tries to explain that to him, and Obama becomes snarky. Then of course, there is the whole "the cold war has been over for 20 years" thing which looks naive reading the paper today.
(Did not vote for Romney, and I still think Romney was a turd sandwich, but at least he wasn't a soggy one)

That whole "turd" thing was the democrats greatest accomplishment, but in the end when you compared the two we have Romney who created over 100,000 new jobs in his startups and took a company with 30 million to 40 billion in assets. Took the Olympics from 400 plus million in the red to 60 million in the black...
Seems to have had the true reading on foreign policy too all compared to...
Drum roll please...

all other things aside
its kind of hilarious one side of your mouth speaks of the red menace while the other repeats their talking points
our economy was run into the ground decades ago and gets worse with each proceeding administration
a short term injection of capital in the 80s and 90s may look good at the time but when you shift the entire country into a service economy that relies on foreign nations using your currency as a reserve to stay afloat you have guaranteed failure in the long term
when youre talking about a national or global economy results are rarely if ever immediate
obama may be a pretty poor president but a large portion of what you see today is the result of past policies such as deregulation, globalization, broken tax codes, and out of control spending largely due to waste and sweetheart deals
and part of the problem is the public is for the most part ignorant and doesnt understand this so every administration just tries to delay the problem a little longer.....a little longer....... a little longer to avoid being stuck with the hot potato and the blame that comes with itedit on 4-3-2014 by sirhumperdink because: (no reason given)
By buying companies then borrowing as much money as he could on them. Then filed for bankruptcy and closed the companies he cashed in and the banks instead of losing money spread their loses to their other customers. Did I leave out he also raided employees retirement funds as well.
Bain Capital's acquisition of Ampad exemplified a deal where it profited handsomely from early payments and management fees, even though the subject company itself ended up going into bankruptcy.[56][78][86] Dade Behring was another case where Bain Capital received an eightfold return on its investment, but the company itself was saddled with debt and laid off over a thousand employees before Bain Capital exited (the company subsequently went into bankruptcy, with more layoffs, before recovering and prospering).

Kind of left a few things out about Romney didn't you?
How did Romney really make his money? By buying companies then borrowing as much money as he could on them. Then filed for bankruptcy and closed the companies he cashed in and the banks instead of losing money spread their loses to their other customers. Did I leave out he also raided employees retirement funds as well.
And he did create 100K new jobs in China after listening to him speak he couldn't be happier with the slave labor over there.

And Your Point is?
All Presidents are Bad?
But I can think of One That Promised to Change All This!
He Promised:
I will have the most transparent administration in history.
The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.

I can't stand that kind of thinking. Would Hitler be better than Obama? Stalin? Think about what you are saying for a moment.
I believe Romney would have been just as harmful as Obama has been.

OK, I understand.
But now are you suggesting, Reagan was a Socialist Communist.
You understand that, In a way, communism is an extreme form of socialism and Socialism is sometimes used interchangeably with Communism but the two philosophies have some stark differences.
But, Really, do I need to go through all that with you, I'm sure you're a product of America's Great Public Education System.
First fact you need to know, I was raised a Socialist, I'm from China.
Obama doesn't act like my old Russia Neighbors, a Communist, his policies lean more towards the Socialist side of the scale.
Now, when I worked in the Beijing Office, before I met my husband, I was tasked with Studying at that time President Reagan.
I don't remember finding any thing even remotely Socialist or Communistic about him or his Policies.
So, maybe you can show me some Documentation about Reagan that I over looked.
Again, O P Sorry, I didn't want to go off topic.edit on 5-3-2014 by guohua because: (no reason given)
