NEW YORK (Official Wire) — The Republican presidential ticket sharpened and broadened its attacks on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy record Friday, with Mitt Romney blasting Obama for declining to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Romney’s running mate accusing the president of failing to lead in a time of global crisis.
“American foreign policy needs moral clarity and firmness of purpose,” GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan said in remarks prepared for delivery Friday at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington.
Romney has struggled to make the case against the sitting commander in chief as angry anti-American protests in the Arab world turned violent this week. After an initial statement mischaracterized the tumultuous events, Romney has taken a mournful tone about the loss of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya and instead is making a broader argument that Obama has a pattern of sending the wrong message to the world.

Good Lord I wish Romney would just tell it like it is and stop trying to be politically correct!!! I am so sick of that crap! McCain did it and where did that get us!!! OBummer!! thats where it got us!
He needs to get it out that Security at the Embassy were NOT allowed to carry Live Ammunition! He needs to spill the beans about all of it! And he needs to do it at the Debates since that is when all the Brain Dead will be watching. You know the ones who watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC those brain dead~
Barry sends the wrong messages and backs the wrong side of all conflicts, every time. He’s consistent and we must be consistent in pointing that out…For those Obamatons who don’t understand cause and effect, we should send them to Benghazi to figure it out.
