Remember this from the 2012 presidential debates?
OBAMA: “Governor Romney, I’m glad that you recognize that al-Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaeda.”Actually, Obama was wrong about that as the Washington Post Fact Checker points out. Romney said Russia was our "no. 1 geopolitical foe." Not that Obama has taken the threat from Al Queda any more seriously than he has the threat from Russia.
Obama went on to say:“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”
The Post Fact Checker describes Obama's zinger as "considered clever at the time." Not so much now. The left had a real good chuckle at Romney's expense over the exchange. I just wonder when Obama and the left will be apologizing to Romney who got it right and Obama got it so very, VERY wrong!
