Mike Huckabee creamed Mitt Romney in the “Values Voters” summit over the weekend, getting twice the support and enthusiasm. You’d think with the economy front and center, the bailouts, and health care, Mr. Romney might have fared better. Wonder if he’s worried?
But Romney didn’t miss a beat, taking out after Barack Obama over Afghansitan today, hoping to brandish his non-existent foreign policy credentials by attacking the President. Via ABC News:
President Obama’s skepticism about a troop build-up in Afghanistan came under fire on Monday from former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican who ran for president in 2008 and is actively laying the groundwork for a second run in 2012.
“This is not the time for Hamlet in the White House,” said Romney. “How in the world can he be saying at this stage the things that he is saying?”
Romney’s remarks were made to the conservative Foreign Policy Initiative in Washington, D.C., as part of a conversation with Dan Senor who sits on the organization’s board.
After invoking the skepticism expressed by President Obama when he appeared on ABC’s “This Week,” Senor asked Romney: “What’s wrong with that? Why not take time?”
“You, of course, hope a president would be deliberate,” said Romney. [...]
I don’t scare easily, but the thought of Mitt Romney as commander in chief is truly frightening. The only thing worse would be Mike Huckabee. Can you just imagine his Middle East policy?
