Mitt Romney prepares to challenge Obama on foreign policy
Source: Washington Post
Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is preparing to broaden his challenge to President Obamas management of foreign affairs, sensing political vulnerability in an area in which the incumbent has received his strongest public support.
With the nation facing a high unemployment rate and uncertain economic growth, foreign policy as a political issue has remained on the periphery of the presidential race. Republicans seeking their party nomination have trained their sharpest criticism of Obama on his economic record, where they perceive him to be weakest.
That is changing, particularly in the Romney campaign, as the former Massachusetts governor begins to set his sights on the general election. Advisers say Romney, cast by the Obama campaign as a foreign policy novice, is unwilling to concede the issue in what both sides say would be a close race.
The emergence of foreign policy in the campaign comes during a particularly difficult period in Afghanistan and at a time when fears are rising about Irans nuclear program.
