Former governor launches White House bid saying US president "seems firmly, clearly determined to undermine our longtime friend, ally."
WASHINGTON – Republican Mitt Romney made the long-anticipated announcement on Thursday that he is running for president, launching his bid in the state that will hold the first primary for the 2012 race.
On a farm in New Hampshire, the former Massachusetts governor lambasted US President Barack Obama’s policy on Israel and accused him of having “failed America.”
“He seems firmly and clearly determined to undermine our longtime friend and ally,” he said of Obama’s stance toward the Jewish state. “He’s treating Israel the same way so many European countries have: with suspicion, distrust and an assumption that Israel is at fault.”
Romney also blasted Obama for traveling the world to “apologize” for America, for being weak on Libya and for failing to speak out on behalf of the dissidents in Iran.

ya think?
True.
But how long until Romney flips on this one?
Gosh, for a candidate for the highest office on Earth, he sure is going out on a limb with speak there...
What if he's wrong? /MS
Same thing I was thinking... he bends with the wind. Me and mine won’t support him... not now... not ever. He’s gonna blow a lot of money for nothing while campaigning.
Somebody joked that if you don’t like Romney’s position, wait a couple minutes.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I'd have said contempt, but no matter.
He’s just going down what he thinks is the Tea Party checklist. Truly pathetic.
Yup, Romney will say the right things now and again, but who knows what he actually believes. I think Mitt is just a chameleon, a pure political animal willing to say and be whatever it takes to win the next office. I wouldn't trust a thing he says.
“but who knows what he actually believes. “
And therein lies the heart of it.
What does he truly believe?
At best we can only look to the most onerous positions he’s taken and assume worst case that he holds those to be true.
His stance on gun control for example.
He’s more than a chameleon, he’s colored fluorescent plaid.
That is true willard... but then I will treat you in the exact same manner. I love Israel willard... you... not so much.

Yeah, I'm trolling my thread here, but it's not about me, it's about treating Mitt with all the respect he deserves!
Mitt is such an idiot he thinks Barrys bias for Muslims comes from suspicion and distrust of Israel when its pure anti semitism...
Mitt I view you with suspicion and distrust and with good reason. I am not confused you are.
Er... I thought it was the truth! :-)
Mitt, where ya been? 2 years of misery and we have not heard a word out of you!
He has been hiding under a rock changing his stripes!
