Romney foreign policy concerned about country that doesn't even existBy John Aravosis on 4/26/2012 11:40:00 PM
Romney's foreign policy expert on a call today expressed concerned about President Obama's policies concerning Czechoslovakia. And he should be concerned, as Czechoslovakia ceased existing nearly 20 years ago.

Romney Foreign Policy Adviser Attacks Obamas Czechoslovakia Policy
By Ben Armbruster on Apr 26, 2012 at 10:31 am
The Romney campaign organized a conference call today with three of Romneys foreign policy advisers to push back. During the call, Romney adviser Ambassador Pierre Prosper attacked President Obama for dealing with Russia, albeit using geographical terms from the Cold War era:
PROSPER: The United States has become a spectator on issues of national security. Weve also been embarrassed by North Korea where again it continues to be a conciliatory leaning forward approach and yet the North Koreans will launch a missile surprising the United States by violating their agreement.
You know Russia is another example where we give and Russia gets and we get nothing in return. The United States abandoned its missile defense sites in Poland and Czechoslovakia, yet Russia does nothing but obstruct us, or efforts in Iran and Syria.

Good grief. He apparently thinks being President only means deregulating Wall Street.

Unbelievable. It's like Romney decided to lift the barrel that contained Dumbya's

Jebus, I thought Mittens was a little smarter than this...

Don't you remember their National Security debate? I was scared way back then.
