You wonder why your representatives are having a hard time pulling their heads from their arses? (goes for you Irish, too)
    What doe that comment even mean "Waters edge" there was me thinking foreign policy was by definition about you know stuff abroad. You cant claim Obama is weak for doing X when in the debate itself you essentially say "Mubarak had to go" that "Sanctions on Iran are a good thing" etc etc etc these are all things Obama gets lambasted for by Romney. Or at least they like to give the impression there lambasting him for these policies with certain voting bloc's.,

    You say he agrees on good things when all I see is a man who is executing a massive turnaround in policy with two weeks to go, essentially Romney is pro cake and pro eating it but which Romney is real.

    Is it the one who agrees with Obama policy on Iraq or Iran or the one who winks at the hawks through Ryan standing around tank plants.







    Ah it seems "Waters Edge Foreign Policy" essentially means you pretend yer all one happy family, it's like that British atittude of not in front of the neighbours. Waters edge foreign policy is pretty much not possible anymore with a 24hr media cycle.




    In 2008 if I had being an American I would have probably not have voted Obama however now I would because I don't believe the Repubs deserve another chance at making an even bigger mess than they left the last time.
