Lacks diplomacy

Gov. Mitt Romney wants us to trust him as the foreign policy expert. Let's look at the evidence. He clumsily tried to insert himself into a Chinese dissident crisis as it was unfolding. He named Russia as our No. 1 geopolitical foe. He went on a tour to bolster his credentials and committed one gaffe after another, resulting in derision from abroad.
Now with the current crisis, he jumps in before knowing all the facts, lies about the timeline to make his statement seem more reasonable, refuses to back down when given the chance to correct his misstatements, insists in an interview that the White House actually agrees with his position and then has his campaign insist that if Mr. Romney were president, there would be no crisis.
I wouldn't give this man the keys to my car much less the button for the bomb.
