..."and at one point, he obliquely questioned, President Obama's patriotism"...

Mitt Romney mounted a big foreign policy display on a flag-draped stage at the Virginia Military Institute on Monday, serving up a lot of tough-sounding sound bites and hawkish bumper stickers, some of them even bumping up somewhere close to the truth, to give the appearance that he would be stronger and more forceful on international affairs than President Obama.
He seems to consider himself, ludicrously, a leader similar to the likes of Harry Truman and George Marshall, and, at one point, he obliquely questioned Mr. Obama’s patriotism. The hope seems to be that big propaganda, said loudly and often, will drown out Mr. Obama’s respectable record in world affairs, make Americans believe Mr. Romney would be the better leader and cover up the fact that there is mostly just hot air behind his pronouncements.
Mr. Romney’s stated policies in Monday’s speech, just as they have been in the past, are either pretty much like Mr. Obama’s or, when there are hints of differences, would pull the United States in wrong and even dangerous directions. His analysis of the roots of various international crises is either naïve, or deliberately misleading.
One new element is Mr. Romney’s assertion that the threats have “grown worse.” He desperately wants to undercut the edge that voters have given Mr. Obama on foreign policy, even before he ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Americans deserve an intensive, textured and honest discussion on foreign policy. They did not get it on Monday. Mr. Obama should respond, forcefully, to Mr. Romney on these issues, even before their next debate on Oct. 16, which will include issues of foreign affairs.

YOU FORGOT THE BARF ALERT!
What a load of crap from the former newspaper of record.
An editorial from the apologists for Soviet Communism.
What gets me is the juvenile tone of the editorial. You’d think the “paper of record” would avoid childish insults. Pathetic.
Are these journalists or Obama hacks? They still do not get it!!!!
The NYT , the communists network of the East Coast. They have lied so much no one believed the crap they print anymore.
Good point. They substitute heat for light.
The NY Times.....the oily shill for the Democrat party.
Make no mistake, the NY Times is very worried about this election, and all hands are on deck.
Bwaaaahhh!!!...pfffft!!!...haaaahaaaa!!!!
....what did you say mr. "reporter" ...respectable?
...Bwwaaaahhhhahaa!!!!
...the Vinage Media strikes again.

3X vetoed by VJ aka B Wacky's Brain.
He can't even honestly bring that up.
FUNYT
The NY Times will never get it. Of course, all previous enemies of our country didn’t get it....... until we rained hell down on them.
Hey NYT, there is a very large storm cloud blowing your way...... it should arrive in about 29 days.
The New York Times: hating the Jewish state for much longer than their current hero Barack HUSSEIN Obama (mmm mmm mmm).
What fantasy world does the editorial board of that bird cage liner live in? Do they think our world is a better place with the Kenyan Clown running foreign policy?
I s’pose if you live in Manhattan and don’t have to purchase gasoline for an automobile, and your food is supplied by a billionaire sugar daddy media conglomerate, then you don’t have to worry about the affairs of state and how they effect a person’s economic state. Such must be the world of the nimrods scribbling at the NY Slimes.
I didn’t get to hear all of Mitt’s speech but what I heard was good.
“You’d think the “paper of record” would avoid childish insults. Pathetic.”
Snippy little brats, aren’t they?
How’s your circulation going since you started sucking up to Obama, NYT????
at one point, he obliquely questioned Mr. Obama’s patriotism.
