Spain quip adds to Romney's foreign policy trouble

[kidrocks]

Good Lord! Looks like we have another "W" wannabe on our hands.

What is it about Republicans and their 'cowboy' mentality. Could it be Romney (if he is elected POTUS) has already planned a pre-emptive attack on some sovereign-nation he might perceive as one of our great enemies?

WASHINGTON (AP) — If Mitt Romney becomes president, he might need a crash course in Diplomacy 101.

He irritated Britons and Palestinians during a summer tour abroad and has declared Russia to be America's No. 1 geopolitical foe. Just last week, the Republican candidate, who plans a foreign policy speech Monday, raised eyebrows in Spain by holding it up as a prime example of government spending run amok...

Spain is so poorly governed that the entire north-east region of the country has threatened to create a new country. Can't get worse than that.

That is because all conservatives know -- and so Fox News told them -- that Europe periphery troubles are result of their governments fiscal prolificacy.

Their trouble is common currency. European Central Bank policy cannot be optimal for different countries, so it has been tailoring it for Germany. That created wage inflation on the periphery during the boom years, and now they have to adjust rapidly trough high unemployment -- which means low government revenues and high deficits.

Romney did not surprise being ignorant. But his statement is untrue -- Spainish government has been austere even before the crisis, in fact it run surpluses. Then the economy tanked and the government revenues shrank as well. Same thing happened here -- why do you think US has been running trillion+ deficits since the crisis hit in 2008?

Not entirely accurate. Mismanagement, cheap credit and an absence of planning were the source of Spain's present difficulties. The blind stampede in construction, exceeded all estimates of what could be absorbed by Spaniards or international investors. The building "boom" was doomed even if the economy hadn't hit an economic downturn. Add to that regional politicians who got caught up in the building frenzy and it just gets worse.

Boooosh! or none of this would have happened. Romney is a W clone.

Obama can do nothing but play defense in the debates, because he can't challenge Romney on hypotheticals.

He will get his ass handed to him again by Romney in front of another 60 million peeps.


LOL

Rumor is you're a close friend of Barney's. Very close.

Since mid-summer, the race has been over.

Obama is going through the motions to help Mitt save face.

 

[JimH52]

If the Mittster is elected, you can count on four more years in Afganistan. He will owe it to his repub handlers. W will be gleefully jumping with joy.

 

[Clementine]

Good grief, after Obama completely blowing it with his poor handling and total lies about the attack on our Libyan embassy, people are going to be up in the air over a mere quip?

Not true...they could have a Texas.

Rick Perry could help them with that, right?
