KEENE, Calif.—President Barack Obama's re-election campaign and the White House defended his handling of world affairs from a scathing attack by Republican challenger Mitt Romney, arguing that the former Massachusetts governor is fond of "chest-pounding" and "saber-rattling."

"This is somebody who leads with chest-pounding rhetoric," campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One.

"He's surrounded himself with a number of people who were advisers to past President Bush, people who have used saber-rattling rhetoric when it comes to Syria and Iran," she said. "And that's something that we think the American people should take a look at."

But she also claimed that Romney's speech at the Virginia Military Institute aimed to "reboot" his foreign policy after a series of troubled attempts—notably a summertime overseas trip marred by verbal missteps.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction...”

Hmmm, was that Obama beating his chest?

Agreed ... but fortunately Blue Lancer did not specify “diesel engines of tanks” ... the US uses many diesels, still, and is likely to do so for a long time.

I would not dare change his verse. I am no wordsmith.

These are some very small people who attack the man because they can’t refute his positions. I have never seen so small a man hold the office of President.

Did Obama give that speech himself or did he use his new Children's Television Workshop "Osama bin Laden Skull Muppet" handle it? "I'm dead and GM is alive".
