| Description | At an early morning “Ask Mitt Anything” event Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joined Sen. Hillary Clinton in criticizing Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama for saying he would meet with controversial world leaders during his first year as president.
“It’s absolutely extraordinary that someone can be so out of touch with our world,” the former Massachusetts governor said. “Meeting with [authoritarian tyrants] is not what a president does.”
These comments centered around what Sen. Obama, D-Illinois, said Monday night during the CNN/YouTube debate. He was asked whether he would be willing to meet with world leaders of Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea.
“It is a disgrace that we have not spoken to them,” Obama said at the podium. “The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous.”
Not so, said Romney. |
