Romney: Obama Failed To Act On Russia ‘Shen Action Was Possible, And Needed’

Former Massachusetts Gov. and 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney penned a scathing critique of President Obama’s foreign policy in the pages of the Wall Street Journal Tuesday, saying the administration has failed to seize the moment took to intervene in crises around the globe, most recently in Russia and Ukraine.

“When protests in Ukraine grew and violence ensued, it was surely evident to people in the intelligence community — and to the White House — that President Putin might try to take advantage of the situation to capture Crimea, or more,” Mr. Romney wrote in a piece titled “The Price of Failed Leadership.”

“That was the time to talk with our global allies about punishments and sanctions, to secure their solidarity, and to communicate these to the Russian president. These steps, plus assurances that we would not exclude Russia from its base in Sevastopol or threaten its influence in Kiev, might have dissuaded him from invasion,” he wrote.

Oh Mitt Romney (as well as Sarah Palin) predicted just what happened was going to happen. Romney predicted it during one of the debates and the dope obama made a joke out of it. obama's clueless. Playing basketball and listening to rap music is about all someone of his low intellect can handle.

9:52 And some of you idiots didn't realize their policies were the same, only difference was color. We would be in the same state with Romney at the helm. Anybody who didn't see that did not do their homework last election. We were doomed either way.

7:43-You are wrong! Their policies were NOT the same. Quite the opposite if you get right down to it. You people are so uninformed it's unbelievable. The way you have allowed yourself to be so stupefied by the liberals, if it weren't so sad, would be funny.
