Ryan: ‘I Have More Foreign Policy Experience’ Than Obama Four Years Ago

Paul Ryan pushed back against President Obama's attacks on the Romney-Ryan ticket as new to foreign policy, arguing that he has more foreign policy experience now than Obama did upon entering office four years ago in an interview on CBS Sunday.

"I have more foreign policy experience coming into this job than President Obama, who sat on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, did coming into his," Ryan said on "Face the Nation." "I've voted to send men and women to war. I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan. I've met with our troops to get their perspectives. I've been to the funerals, I've talked to the widows, I've talked to the wives, the moms and the dads. That's something. That matters."

What an idiot! He thinks voting for war is foreign policy?

Kerry at DNC:

So on one side of this campaign, we have a president who has made America lead like America again. What is there on the other side? An extreme and expedient candidate, who lacks the judgment and vision so vital in the Oval Office. The most inexperienced foreign policy twosome to run for president and vice president in decades.

On edit:

I'm starting to think Mitt was set up. After the media shills labeled Ryan a VSP, Mitt thought he would choose him and then the two of them would launch an offensive against the President.

Mitt, you're a sucker!

Pinocchio Ryan is less popular than Sarah Palin as a VP candidate. His lies have made him look silly. His plan has been deemed toilet paper, and now even Mitt has thrown him under a bus (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021303598).

Now that Ryan has been rendered ineffective, Democrats are casting Mitt as the male Sarah Palin (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021304282). Ouch!

A twofer that highlights every silly utterance Mitt makes and also ensures that no one will take him seriously for picking Pinocchio Ryan for his VP.

2. "The most inexperienced foreign policy twosome to run for president and vice president in decades."

The rest of the world must be holding their breath waiting to see if stupidity wins or not. I didn't think it was possible, but I believe these two will be worse than Bush on the world stage.

3. Foreign policy experience:

"I've been to the funerals, I've talked to the widows"

This guy deserves a foot up his ass. Instead, he's on the Republican ticked for the nation's second highest job.

Clowns, every member of the Republican Party.

Ryan insisted that he had more foreign policy experience than Obama, telling O’Donnell, “I’ve been in Congress for 14 years. He was in the Senate for far, far less time than that.” Ryan said he’d visited Iraq and Afghanistan, talked to war widows and soldiers, and has been taking foreign policy seriously for 14 years.

When Barack Obama was a Senator, he chaired the United States Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs. In his two years in that chamber, he was more substantively involved in foreign affairs than Ryan was during his 14 years of crunching numbers and lording over women's reproductive rights:

Obama took fact-finding trip to former USSR to examine WMD stockpiles. In 2005, in his first foreign trip as a U.S. senator, Obama traveled to Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan with Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), then-chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. The purpose of the trip was to examine facilities for the storage and destruction of conventional, biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. Obama and Lugar subsequently co-wrote a December 2005 Washington Post op-ed on the issue and appeared together in a discussion at the Council on Foreign Relations on "Challenges Ahead For Cooperative Threat Reduction," in which Obama detailed ways to improve the U.S. program to control, secure, and dismantle weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union.

With Lugar, Obama co-authored non-proliferation initiative signed into law by President Bush. Obama and Lugar co-authored the "Lugar-Obama non-proliferation initiative," which "enhances U.S. efforts to destroy conventional weapons stockpiles and to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction throughout the world." The legislation was signed into law by President Bush in January 2007. According to a June 28, 2007, press release from Lugar, he and Obama subsequently secured "$36 million for programs to destroy heavy conventional weapons, $10 million for efforts to intercept weapons and materials of mass destruction, and $2 million for rapid response to proliferation detection and interdiction emergencies."[...]

Obama introduced Nuclear Weapons Threat Reduction Act of 2007. Obama introduced the Nuclear Weapons Threat Reduction Act of 2007 (S.1977), with then-Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) as an original co-sponsor, which would "provide for sustained United States leadership in a cooperative global effort to prevent nuclear terrorism, reduce global nuclear arsenals, stop the spread of nuclear weapons and related material and technology, and support the responsible and peaceful use of nuclear technology."

Obama interest in nuclear policy predates his Senate career. Obama reportedly authored his college thesis on "Soviet nuclear disarmament." Moreover, Washington Monthly reported in September 2006: "On the campaign trail in 2004, Obama spoke passionately about the dangers of loose nukes and the legacy of the Nunn-Lugar nonproliferation program, a framework created by a 1991 law to provide the former Soviet republics assistance in securing and deactivating nuclear weapons. Lugar took note, as 'nonproliferation' is about as common a campaign sound-bite for aspiring senators as 'exchange-rate policy' or 'export-import bank oversight.'"
