New Op-Ed by Mitt Romney at The Washington Post: “Obama’s Worst Foreign-Policy Mistake”
Obama's Worst Foreign Policy Mistake
This opinion article by Mitt Romney appeared in The Washington Post on 07/06/2010. It is entitled Obama’s Worst Foreign-Policy Mistake
Given President Obama’s glaring domestic policy missteps, it is understandable that the public has largely been blinded to his foreign policy failings. In fact, these may have been even more damaging to America’s future. He fought to reinstate Honduras’s pro-Chávez president while stalling Colombia’s favored-trade status. He castigated Israel at the United Nations but was silent about Hamas having launched 7,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip. His policy of “engagement” with rogue nations has been met with North Korean nuclear tests, missile launches and the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel, while Iran has accelerated its nuclear program, funded terrorists and armed Hezbollah with long-range missiles. He acceded to Russia’s No. 1 foreign policy objective, the abandonment of our Europe-based missile defense program, and obtained nothing whatsoever in return.
Despite all of this, the president’s New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New-START) with Russia could be his worst foreign policy mistake yet. The treaty as submitted to the Senate should not be ratified.
Obama & Medvedev Sign the New START Treaty
The Heritage Foundation now has a video featuring Mitt Romney promoting a petition. Watch the video, sign the petition and tell the Senate to reject this dangerously naïve treaty.

awesome!!!!
When I read the article, I thought it was awesome too. But then I read the Slate article which was supposed to be a “fact check” on this article. The Slate article called Mitt’s WP piece an “Idiotic Rant”, and responded each assertion.
I would appreciate someone setting the record straight. Was this an “Idiotic Rant” or was Slate being Slate.
Don’t worry about Slate. It’s just another liberal website. It takes guts to stand up to the present administration this early before 2012. This shows the sincerity of conviction that Mitt has for our nation. No other possible runner has stepped up and voiced opposition to Obama’s Start treaty. Slate is the one ranting like an idiot. They don’t want you to do anything but sit on your laurel and take the beating, it’s time to take the lead. John Kerry,
Fred Kaplan…what a waste of flesh.
