Bill Kristol: Romney Needs to Jump Off the Campaign Trail and Go to School

It really is Mitt Romney's "Lehman moment". Look at the advice neocon Bill Kristol offers Mitt Romney.

Will Romney follow up this moment with sober foreign policy statements and substantive speeches? Will he put behind him once and for all two misconceptions that have bedeviled his campaign—that foreign policy is a distraction, and that, when Romney does dip into foreign policy, it’s enough simply to take swipes at Obama? Will Romney seize the moment to spend time with some of his serious foreign policy advisers—even if to do so he has to cancel a trip to a swing state or (gasp!) a fundraiser—in order really to think through the meaning of these events, and prepare serious, presidential-level responses?

 Suspend the campaign. It's time to get some schooling. In other words, Kristol agrees with Romney's critics. He's a foreign policy dolt.

Romney has a plan. The talking point coming from their campaign to address the fallout from the notorious Libyan press conference will be "it's never too late to stand up for American values".

Want to bet this is a call to war? How much money has the military industrial complex donated to Mitt?

  1. Did Mitt Romney, in his ill timed and ill conceived commentary on the violence in North Africa, just doom his presidential aspirations the way John McCain did in 2008 when he said that the economy was on sound footing just as Lehman Brothers collapsed? In a twinkling of a political eye Mitt Romney through his remarks on the death of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans has taken his focus off of the one topic where he has an advantage over Barack Obama, the economy, and redirected it to foreign policy, a subject where his campaign performance thus far has been woefully inadequate if not outright abysmal. As a result Romney has introduced the issues of his own lack of foreign policy heft and judgment into the race at what couldn’t be a worse time.

Sorry about the captcha. I hate them just like you, but the spambots have gotten ridiculous.
