[...] Romney seems to think he's still running for President. He's mad at President Obama for the way he's handling our foreign policy. (Grrr... Mitt is angry... Grrrr...) I love how it's OK for people to criticize [...]

[...] CNN: WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took aim at President Obama's foreign and national security policy Monday, criticizing the commander-in-chief's message abroad as a "tour of apology" and calling plans to trim the missile defense budget a "grave miscalculation" that puts the nation at risk in the face of urgent threats like North Korea's nuclear ambitions. [...]

Romney is such a loser. Beccuase of people like him, this country has been going down the toilet

What happened to a prayer Mr Preacherman?

Er....Mitt.....werent you part of that GOP 'no-one is listening' tour?

Mitt is delusional, as most of the Republican Party. What's new.

Just further evidence of the weakness and inevitable collapse of the GOP. The word 'no', whining and slander are all they have left.

How sad Romney's 'PAC' is trying to re-establish the base....what a joke...and a losing strategy....the GOP 'base' is now about 20% of the country and shrinking fast.

Maybe Mitt wants to represent the Mississsippi/Alabama/South Carolina/Tenesseee/Kentucky (deep south) party. But he will be in trouble because he is a 'yankee'. lol

GOP– Moderate or die...

one thing History will never understand or excuse is a party that is supposedly strong on deffense spent billions on a missile defense system that protects us from no one when thousands of our troops were killed because they didn't have the right body armor, the hummers weren't reinforce or they did get those IED resisstant Mrap vehicle or whatever they are called into the theater. Defense spending has gone up overall and the shift is on real things they need to protect our soldiers in battle now.

Obama seems comfortable with criticising America in front of the world, but at some point it will be seen as weakness, and we will pay the price.

Got to love the comments from the GOP wanna be candidates ALREADY tossing their hats into the presidental ring. Well GOP if your party wasn't so interested in dista.ncing yourself from the rest of the world, this preisident wouldn't have to make these comments. And te fact that Rommney is saying this is a joke becuase he would do the same if he were president. Shut up GOP

Mitt Romney? The guy who deferred out of Viet Nam and took steps to having his five boys also miss out on military service? Someone who has no experience in defense–and, by the way, Obama does not lower spending but uses it for more boots on the ground than building Cold War weapons. Further, the decision to reduce missle defense spending came from the Chiefs of Staff, not Obama.

In sum, this cheap, greasy looking jerk, should take his tail and go back to one of his many houses.

Question for Mr. Roomey: Would you rather President Obama begin torture techniques?

In the usual manner, Romney opens his mouth about topics he has little knowlege. Or rather, There goes Romney again toot'in his own horn. Next thing we'll hear is that he has been 'brain-washed' about whatever he misspoke about. ala his dad, The former Govenor Romney of Michigan.

Oh please, Go sit down...

President Obama did not do an apology tour, but he had to make the tour that he did to display a collaborative intelligent approach toward foreign policy that had been missing in the last 8 years. That damage needed to be reversed.

I was just telling a friend this morning how I can't stand this guy. He potrays himself as a self righeous person I can't stand to look at him. You can't sell short your fellow human being because you are running for office. There's nothing wrong with acknoledging you made a mistake what is ironic ithough and equally dangerous is one who doesn't think they have ever made any mistakes in their lives. That to me is the height opf arrogance.

Bring it on cream puff Romney.Steve Christie is a joke.

I guess the GOP is hell bent on putting that last nail in their coffin. How much safer did the Bush Administration make America..Come on now really?

We've got enough nukes already to bomb North Korea many, many times over. The only thing these nukes are good for is a deterrent, and they're obviously not a deterrent against other countries building nukes. By the way, in case Mr. Romney hasn't noticed, we need domestic spending right now. I guess it's hard to realize that when you're rich.

One simple question: Why does anyone care what Mitt Romney has to say?

Mitt Romney is a joke. What does he know about foreign policy? He couldn't even win his party's nomination so why should anyone listen to what he has to say. Along with the rest of the losers in the Repub party, he just wants to keep his name in the news and it galls me to no end that CNN is giving these creeps the time of day. What he should be doing is trying to convince people in his own party that he knows what he is talking about and leave the rest of us alone. We are tired of hearing from these Repubs creeps.

Whatever! Tough talk by that previous idiot got us setup as a target too. Go home, Mitt! No one cares what you have to say. Get someone else that we want to hear speak for the GOP!

Hey "Governor" Romney - why don't you go on a tour of apology to the people of Massachusetts, because after they elected you Governor, you disappeared within two years. You were an absentee governor. Also, then you can go to the workers of Massachusetts and apologize to all those who you laid off due to your corporate take-overs when you ran Bain & Company as you private toy! What a hypocrite!!

Poor Mitt, doesn't he know that the next election is in 2012?

As he said, "Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows..." True, but we did finally get Dick Cheney out of the White House and that's a good start. Now, we must rebuild the broken relationships with our allies and prove that we have relocated the U.S. Constitution and our moral compass.

We must recover financially from the borrow and spend policies that have devastated our Treasury. It will take time but we will do it. Yes! We can! and Yes! We will!

Romney is right, we owe no one anything, next you know he will be apologising for our exisitence......................

you Would think this guy would wait to start campaign until a couple years before the next presidential election. To do so now, just make him look very unpatriotic.His self-interests are well in front of the interests of this country.

ROMNEY is RIGHT.obama and the rest of the socialist marxis democrats are weak . they no nothing about history. why did you morons vote for a man with no past ?

Is it possible for us to get someone on the caliber of David Gergen or Ed Rollins to represent the GOP party and go head to head with President Obama? I refuse to accept that Mitt, Newt, Jindal, Rush, and McConnell etc are the best the party has to offer? The party will be laid to rest in 2010.

I strongly disagree with the "under fire" headline on your front page.....Obama's attempt to repair the damage done over the last 8 years by the previous office holder is being criticized by a minor figure in a down and out political party.

If Obama is so ashamed of this country, someone of political stature needs to have the balls to tell Obama to stay there. This is what needs to be done in order to slam this guy back into reality.

He had re-enforced what I suspected. He wants his way or no way. He has been at the top long enough he should understand what communication is. Sometimes apology is what is needed and I am on Obama's side. Apparently they don't apologize where Romney comes from. Glad he didn't get farther than he did toward being President. Always thought he was too handsome and slick to work in today's world.

Good for Obama, finally someone takes care of the people first,
and its needed now. Bush never thought about amercans in this way, for Bush it was always keep the people scared and intimdated,Heck I still have dozens of rolls of duck tape and lots of plastic sheeting still.

Isn't Mitt supposed to be on his own tour with Cantor and Jeb?? oh that's right, Rush said it was dumb so they stopped...

Someone get Mitt some more hair dye so he'll have something to do with his time...

Another irrelevancy heard from. Even the GOP rejected this one.

Do these guys ever lighten up or take responsibility for their role in how things are looking right now? We have been abusing our power for quite some time now, so sure, we have been wrong. What's Romney talking about? I think his hair dye is getting to him.

Mr. Romney, you are certainly entitled to your opinions as I am to mine. I don't trust you in the least as I think you will do anything, say anything, be anything to everybody in order to scare up votes. You try to be Ronald Reagan, but you come across as a used car salesman that is selling one helluva GOP lemon. I remember the speeches you gave in Michigan only to turn around a few months later and stab them in the back. You being a Morman has nothing to do with the way I feel, but you being a Moron does.

Okay Romney, where did you come from. We spend more money (sometimes more on another country's defense than that country does) not defending the United States borders. And not to mention the overspending on purchased items from closed bids and other wasteful spending. We could use a trim off of that budget after all.

WHY spend money on domestic programs? Because nobody else is not the private sector, not investors and not YOU Romney (who has a pretty good size nest egg). Someone has to to get the economy going and the government is the last resort. How about convincing some of you deep pocket conservatives to invest in the economy. What's that? Not a good investment with low returns? Like I said someone had to step up and it wasn't YOU GUYS – GOP!!!!

Does anyone really care what Romney thinks about anything? This guy needs a new message, not the same tired mantra from the right.

I hope the Republicans keep it up and hang tightly to their religious right wingers. Perhaps they will then support the coming legislation to tax these religious organizations since the Republicans, better than anyone else, know these religious organizations are in the business of politics. If you play, you must pay. Otherwise, get your narrow ideology off of our polling place doors. Tax the Church. They have more money than we do!

President Obama is America's Neville Chamberlain. Here is a quote from Chamberlain's 1938 appeasement speech. " As long as war has not begun, there is always HOPE that it may be prevented, and you know that I am going to work for peace to the last moment. Good night." . President Obama now brings us the same new HOPE. Tell our enemies we are sorry, ignore their hatred and attacks on our citizens and the world will be a bright and wonderful place. Obama may forbid the use of the expression " War on Terror" but it does not make the danger to America any less real. Obama will keep smiling and bowing to our enemies until he learns it is safer to be respected than liked. The minor blip in history that followed Chamberlain's speech was World War 2

herman monster, i think it's time you realize that you are only preaching to your own base. nobody else is listening to you. go away.

It must be nice to sit back and take shots at this administration, when your own party doesn't want your opinion. If I'm not mistaken McCain was the repub sacraficial lamb.

Romney is drinking Limbaugh's Koolaid..

Shut up Loser

I believe exactly what he said. It appears somehow that Obama is trying to apologize to the rest of the world for the actions of this country. Obama continues to ignore all the good that this country does on a yearly basis and only tries to point out to others the mistakes that some have done. I would suggest instead of going on such as this, to point out how much funding this country does for the entire world and consider reducing that funding if others no longer wish to embrace our financial support. I not saying that everything we do is 100% perfect, but consider how much we do compared to others is all I ask.

Romney slams Obama for 'GOP DAMAGE CONTROL TOUR'. Romney doesn't know better. Look at MI and tell me he's the man????

National security policy is what the Republicans believe is their specaility and if the American People Believe that then John McCain would be our President. It didn't work then and will not work now. It is the Economy Stupid! If John McCain was our President, this country would be fighting all kinds of wars that why is not our President. We are all tried of fighting for other countries problems while forgetting about the ciiztens of this country.

Why should anyone care what this flip-flopping neocon has-been thinks about *anything*?

So Mitt Romney believes that when our foreign policy over the past eight years has alienated just about every nation on Earth to the point that we not only have few allies but are viewed by many as an international bully, when it's obvious that we have made huge mistakes, then we should never admit we're wrong and instead just go blindly charging ahead as if nothing was wrong? Did I get that right?

Oh wait, neither Mitt Romney nor his audience believes the last eight years was a mistake, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

These people never cease to amaze me. They were crushed in last November's election, and their policies were repudiated by a majority of Americans, yet they refuse to admit the possibility that they made a mistake. In fact, I sometimes wonder if some of them even realize that there was an election and that they lost it.

Terror, Fear, Chaos, Depression......

The 4 words in all Republican speeches.

Hope, Security, Reform, Sympathize

The 4 words in all Democrat speeches.

Which ones are truly going to help our country?

Romney is a snake. He cares only about his political ambitions and will do or say anything to achieve them. People in Massachusetts hate him, because he campaigned for governor with grand promises. Then, as governor, he did nothing but feather his own nest in preparation for a presidential bid. He did nothing to improve the state.

CNN, your posting is this and all the other extremem repubs is your own fault. Please take responsiblity, I don't think all republicans feel this way.

I'm wondering if Romney realizes Korea built it's nuclear capability during the Bush administration. Hey I think Iran did the same thing. Romney's statement, "Action — strong, bold action coming from a position of strength and determination — is the only effective deterrent." How did that work for Bush?

Maybe if the GOP didn't screw things up so badly there would not be so much to apologize for. Like torture, rape, kidnapping, invading Iraq, Katrina, wiretapping US Citizens without warrents, booting gays out of the military and on ad infinitum.

The only thing the US has to apologize for is putting the GOP in power.

Here's a guy completely rebuffed by a natonal party that almost forbids he represent them - the head of that party has said that Republican voters are not going to support a Mormon yet this guy decides to take another tack: he's going to try to go with the "attack Obama" and try the lie and fear tactics that simply do.not.work with thinking, voting Americans. We just don't buy it and we couldn't care less how he worships. Even though he believes that he is following the (failed and continuing to fail) GOP script, the fact is, he's going to waste a lot of money. His party will not get in behind him. The Bible belt won't support him and that is their bread and butter. Perhaps Mitt is taking himself out of mothballs because of Jon Huntsman's recent appointment. IT WAS AN APPOINTMENT, MITT. Not an election and this ain't Utah. America simply refuses to go backward. We're just not. Never again.

The only people who need to be apologizing are the folks who voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004.

again no sloutions!!!! just fear mongering that the grand ole regional party likes to do. that missle defense system is useless and it is costing the american taxpayer millions of dollars and at the same time lining republicans pocketbooks!! that is the only reason mitt is concerned!

Please. Romney pushes the same ole right wing talking points (lies).

President Obama actually INCREASED military spending by nearly $40 billion. He never apologized but worked to build a mutually respectful foundation towards diplomacy again.

I am so grateful and proud as an American that Obama is our president, not this political tool–Romney.

The difference between Europe and the US, (particularly the Bush Administration & Republican brand of Foreign Policy) is that Europe saw the consequences of war - as, it devastated the entire continent on two separate occasions.

Such carnage in Europe has brought to light the need for diplomacy. Let us hope that we (America) do not come to learn the virtues of diplomacy in a similar, European manner.

Romney and the rest of the republicans should know a little something about arrogance. Maybe if our favorite cowboy president hadn't been so arrogant in the first place, apology would not be necessary...

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows," Romney told a conservative crowd at a speech sponsored by the Heritage Foundation in Washington. "Action — strong, bold action coming from a position of strength and determination — is the only effective deterrent." (M. Romney)

So a military response is the best and only way to deal with dictators? What would Reagan say to that idea? He helped bring down the Berlin wall without a single bullet.

Just more rhetoric pandering to the conservative base...I wish Romney would be true to his moderate roots and show us what he really stands for and what good ideas he brings to the table.

I am sorry but I have to say something here what a DOUCHEBAGS! Listen to me YOU WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.We are in a recession brings ideas not knee-jerk stupid critism to the president ,he trying to remake our image abroad believe or not we need a good relantionship with the muslim.You really to defend liberty send some of your son to the military untill then be quiet. My son will be years old soon and I know he will serve one day or work in the US in non profit to help. Do something pogressive ,help stop the political verbial for once.Sheesh....

More Republican Warmongering, keep the Hate going boys.
You all suck.

Mitt "Magic Underwear" Romney is delusional on two counts.

1) He really thinks he has a shot at the Republican Nomination in 2012.

2) He thinks there WILL be a RNC in 2012.

He needs to strap his dog on top of his car again and head for the hills – what a snake oil salesman...

This man will say ANYTHING to get in the spot light! He will change his mind. Hes for it. Hes against it.

He is man that made millions of dollars on people loosing there jobs and homes.

He is memmber of a cult. He thinks he will be God of his own world. He belives that if he gives away the special hand shake (called tokens) he recieved in his Temple that he will have his neck cut from ear to ear and his bowels ripped out.

This man is CRAZY! Wonder if he has sold all of his homes yet...he dosn't want to come off like John Mccain did owning too many homes!

He is just another blow hard not understanding the real world or common person. The rebukes destroyed our world standing with arrogance and that is exactly what this world does not need!

He is right if you agree that America was safe with the "BUSH' policies.Not only did BUSH put America in the poor house with the same policies ROMNEY has, but we are no safer and NOTHING was accomplished.

Even as a democrat, I had respected Romney as someone who was at least thoughtful about being a public servant. Therefore, I expected better of him. What happened to him? He is wasting his time on meaningless, divisive, negativity, when he should be raising the bar.

Obama is trying to rebuid American reputation and leadership This is a global environment, being bully won't get us anywhere. Last 8 years is a nightmere for American foreign relationship.

Romney is obviously seeking political gain rather than a better country.

I don't like Romney, he really is alot like Obama in many ways. But woo hoo on this critique of Obama. I'm tired of him apologizing. He's not my idea of a leader. America has NOTHING to apologize for, pass time for him to stand up for this country.

Nobody cares what mittens thinks

Romney is right. The Islamofascists and communist tyrants of the world will take Obama's groveling as nothing but a sign of weakness.

The liberals of our nation need to get over the idea that being disarming and self-effacing is going to score us any points with our enemies. If anything, it shows our enemies that we're not willing to stand up for ourselves and are ripe for attack.

This isn't political grandstanding, people. This is simple reality. As President Reagan so eloquently observed, no wars were ever started because the United States was 'too strong.'

Wouldn't it be great if just for once a conservative could come up with a solution for anything that didn't involve bombing brown people into submission.

Once again Mitt reveals that he is a twit. Would you please just shut up? The MAJORITY of America doe not care what you, Rush, Newt, Dick, Bill, Sean or any other right-wing, lunatic fringe idiot has to say.

Go sit down Romney you are not even relevant. Lets see what put us in harms way..
1) We went after the wrong people after 9/11
2) Sadam albeit a tyrant in his day had his people under control. We go in in the name of liberation..and all Hell breaks loose and over 4,000 of our young men and women have died for what?
3) We are the only nation in the world that has dropped a Nuclear Bomb on Human beings (How Tyrannical is that for you?)

Romney. Get over it. Youre not liked enough to make a difference.
Youre not popular enough. Your bashing will not do anyone any good. Go support our president...your president.

President Obama is talking straight. You are in denial.

Mitt is saying real leadership comes from strong decisive action: is he including his own retreats and flip-flops on positions such as abortion and gay rights, actions he took to impress conservative primary voters? Your speaking engagements are your own Tour of Apology to the conservatives who trashed your morals, principles and your faith. Sorry Mitt, but your missionary tour of the French countryside at the height of the Viet Nam War does not qualify you to sit in the Oval Office.

Does anyone care what these retread Republicants says about anything? I sure don't. And I don't see how their constant criticism of our new president helps our country or demonstrates patriotism either. The party of no was voted out of the office. Now shut up and go away. Please.

For goodness sakes, it's going to be more than an apology when the rape photos authorized by Bush and Cheney are released. We will be lucky if we aren't attacked because we did such heinous things to innocent people. There is a good reason torture is banned: it does not garner useful information, and it tends to anger the country the tortured is from.
But Mitt, I guess the Republicans still think they can bank on the fears of your BASE, who are buying up guns and ammo at record speed, because you all tell them Obama will ban their idiotic guns. Was the guy who killed the doctor listening to you too? How about the men who have shot their families lately? Keep instilling fear, but the blood is on your hands when the armed BASE among us takes to the streets in your, Rush's, Hannity's and Beck's names.

I voted for him and I am slamming him too. Until he does something for ALL the support he received from black voters, I hope he keeps getting slammed. The time is going to come when black leaders are going to start calling him out and he won't be able to keep avoiding them. Then, he will be forced to address these issues. I never thought I would say it but I can't stand the sight of him anymore. He was totally disrespectful during his search of candidates for the SC. He has paid everyone back except us and I don't appreciate it.

speak softly...

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows,"

You are absolutely right Governor Romney: earnest words and furrowed brows will not stop Dick Cheney.

thanks Mutt, er Mitt. I guess you'd be pushing the button to send missles into N Korea, Iran, etc, you chicken hawk blowhard. Just because the new president doesn't posture and act like a complete idiot in his "cowboy dipomacy" clothes doesnt mean he is apologizing. And why can't a president admit that mistakes have been made in the past? Why? Because according to the GOP, American never has made a mistake and never will because we are the almighty on earth and have the right to dictate to every other nation on Earth on how to live. Total baloney. Go back to the rock you crawled under. Next up on the GOP criticism parade....the Lipstick Fido from Alaska. I cannot wait to hear her drivel. The GOP is quickly turning itself into the biggest laughingstock ever, and I could not be happier!!

Israel will never listen to Obama and divide its land Bethlahem the city of David and Nablus, Hebron are jewish towns thousands of years before the arabs came into that land. Jews have been prescuted and tortured killed for thousands of years and bibi and Israel will never listen to Messiah Obama

Mitt Romey has not realised that he was not chosen as the presidential candidate of his party during the last elections not to talk of been a president. We have an elected president and he should respect him as every body's president. Romey is not the president and therefore does not have the security briefing the president has; he should therefore keep his mouth shut when it comes to state security matters.

Romney couldn't get fellow republicans to vote for him in the primaries. Why should anyone listen to him now?

Mitt Romney is just as brainwashed as his dad, former Governor of Michigan, George Romney.

I still wouldn't vote for mit rompy, i'm tired of white men tearing down this world, beacause that's exactly what has happened. Now all of a sudden everything's President Obama's fault i don't think so. Some of you honkies need to get a clue.

way to go mitt. I'm sure all these idiot liberals are sure to get on here and start bashing. Funny thing is most liberals are worthless pieces of crap who would rather sit around collecting govt checks and watching soap's then getting off their lazy asses and doing something productive. But then again its the new cool thing to be a piece of crap.

Seems like Mitt carefully chose the words "Tour of Apology" to try to cover up the fact that Mitt's tour to save the Republican Party was a failure.

Typical GOP two-step shuffle. Obama never "apologized". Show me one quote were he used the words "sorry", "apologize". All Obama did was point out the truth that the USA had made some mistakes or acted arrogantly and independently of the rest of the world. In all cases, he also called out the world and Europe for "their mistakes" as well.

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows,"

Sometimes they are stopped by elections; the Republican party comes to mind...

Speaking of stopping tyrants...sounds like you are rattling that ol' Republican 'gotta use the war thing on them bad guys' saber.

So hey Romney, any members of your family join up yet?
Mmmmm, how about some biscuits and gravy with that helping of chickenhawk?

Go Romney '12. We need a leader who will think about the long term consequences of fiscal decisions.

Well, I think it's about time someone stepped up and apologized for the way we, as a country, have acted for the past 8 years. Talk about arrogant and delusional!

Go away already. You loss your bid for POTUS, go away Miffed Romney

It doesn't matter that the defense budget has been short changed and that is not questionable because it doesn't matter to Obama! It doesn't even matter that Obama has mortgaged the country to China because it doesn't matter to Obama! It does however matter to Obama that Israel stop settlements in the West Bank. And back home we have an assortment of Czars to mind everyone's business.

Mitt Romney got a perfect score on his SATs and graduated at the top of his class at Harvard Law AND Harvard Business School.

Why someone of his intellect continues to kowtow to a party that's come to be controlled and defined by its stupidest demographic is something I cannot understand.

Mitt,go to sleep already.you are irrelvant just like your crazy party

The Nation's defense budget – the LARGEST in the World, and MUCH larger than Russia and China combined- has $300 BILLION in cost overruns- WASTE- every single year!!!! That is OVER 50% of the ENTIRE DOD BUDGET!!! Romney is a paid off puppet of military contractors and has no business being in an elected office. You could cut the DOD budget in half and the ONLY ones who will suffer are campaign contributors and lobbyists in government. Romney's already been bought and paid for in full.

Mitt Romney paid for every single voted he got. Did he have to pay people to come listen to his speech? He is pathetic, and so is the entire party. Poor ole GOP.

The only person arrogant and delusional is Mr Romney.

has already started his negative campaign

Nice to hear from the Manchurian candidate.

Arrogant American citizens are a pain in the rear end too, Mr Romney.
That's one reason many citizens of other countries don't like us.

Who's listening to Phony Rommney, flip-flopper, waffler. And the song remains the same.

YES!! You tell em Romney.....we must be the big dog so the world will listen and do what they are told.

Wait.....what? It didn't work for the Bush admin? Hrm. So you're telling me no one was afraid of Bush/Cheney? North Korea built the bomb anyway? Iran continued it's development? Chevez has found suppliers and started work on his own program? Didn't we lay down the law with these people?

And GW pissed off Russia too? I think Obama fixed that though. Good to have the "other superpower" on our side again.

I for one am glad "Mittens" Romney isn't the president.

Mitt, Mitt, Mitt... He apologizes to the world because the last administration, alienated us from Europe. They still are a tad bit leary about us. Why do you think that they watch our elections, to see who they would have to deal with. Someone who has brains or someone who can't put two words correctly in a sentence.

Barrack Obama is the most unqualified president we've ever had and we will be lucky to survive his 1 and only term in office.

we got two wars going on ...soldiers on the fifth and sixth tours of duty coming home and committing suicide ...and romney is talking about the need for obama talking tougher ...hey, mitt – why aren't any of your five army-aged sons fighting in the wars? a real patriot – NOT!! a real chicken hawk

And the 15 minutes of fame continue..........stumping for 2012 already????

Seems to me that Romney is determined to link himself with the other fear mongering idjits. He's going to lose the rest of us, not that he ever "had" me!

Another Republican half baked whiner....

Thank you CNN for keeping up the reminding of what these White dudes like Mitt are like in the Repub Party. Mitt thinks 'only' WHITE men can be on the court. Mitt thinks 'only' threatening and starving people is the way to deal with the world. SHUT UP Mitt, you did not even get your party nomination. Jealous!

**Go buy a new house or get your hair done Mitt.

mr rommany the failed presidential tycoon now bostering with a loud and dirt mouth that president obama is putting country at risk what about the economical turmoil the republican and itsd arogant presidency put the country in hopeless position in the world did bushn cout laden did bush shaved the economy the banks? if not then where he was gone in the heaven of bar? that now he is finger pointting to obama who is tring his best to come out of these republican mess?

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants?"

Is he talking about the Bush Administration?

Wow, republicans are still trying to use fear to get votes.

romney, the gop is the party of war. killing innocent people.

Mr. Romney if you want to help defend our country, convince your sons to join the military.
It seems that most of the gung-ho people never put their asses on the line, Cheney and his five count'em deferments during Vietnam. Cheney's montra was, "Hell no I don't want to go."

Ok. Why is this guy running for office this soon?

GO ROMNEY.. Enough of this sorry I will be your best friend crap!! We need a strong nation. We cannot let are guard down ever. With North Korea and Iran building up there nuclear weapons we need to act fast and smart!!

This is complete crap. Romney is just beating the same tired republican drum of fear mongering that George Bush used since 9/11. Go away Romney you lost the nomination and ad your moment in the sun. Try offering helpful suggestions and not jingoistic rhetoric.

Mitt, thanks for expressing your veiws to the American public. I am sure the Americans that supported you in the last election (the two or three states) care what you think.
I am sure as a former Governor your international perspective is being drawn on your state experience.

Romney is wrong...this is just more Republican trash-talking.

Mitt Romney is an idiot.

Obama is very Naive when it comes to foreign policy. Actually he is pretty Naive with domestic policy as well. Like a kid in the candy store buying anything and everything, he just bought GM! Too bad the Liberals can't see the destruction process taking place in America, and continue to Blame Bush for all of Obamas huge and costly mistakes.

Please, who cares what Romney says on his most current pollster-driven reinvention tour? The guy's so fake he makes a Ken doll look human.

I have not seen one Republican offer up any thing positive. As soon as they open their mouth, it is to bash our sittting President. Just why don't the Republicans come up with a positive suggestion of what might be a good solution for something and stop tearing down our great country?

You dont have a clue or a chance Mittens.

I think everyone need to keep their comments to themselves.

Another idiot Republican just hoping that the terrorist strike us so he can say "We told you so". Bah, puke on them.....

Yeah, like a Mormon would be a defense hawk.

Sorry Mitt, your about 2 months late with your rebuke. But it doesn't really matter what you say, North Korea has been an unpredictable state since the Eisenhower Presidency, and our current policy of containment is probably the best approach to dealing with them.

You dont have a clue or a chance Mittens.You better check your magic diapers son,they must be too tight on your brain.All "think tanks" should be taxed on both sides.

Romney IS a flipflipper.Remember he In 94 he ran for senate to the left of Ted Kennedy on Gay Rights,and untill he ran for president was prochoice.He didn't run for reelection for governor because he would have lost.

Go ahead Mitt and run for president.President Obama will beat your ass badly In the general election proveded you can get past Palin and Gingrich.

Romney please put a sock in it.

Hey Mitt,

You couldn't even win a very weak Republican primary last year with however many of your millions you spent. Do you currently hold an elected office? No? Then who cares. Shut up.

"Action — strong, bold action coming from a position of strength and determination — is the only effective deterrent."
give me a break ! we tried it and it didn't work .

Who cares what this man says. The reason the Republican Party – GOP is in the situation they are in is because they are always passing judgement on someone else. Inside of stating their policies and believes. Isn't it easy to be on the sidelines. NO ONE care what he saids or what the GOP states because their ideas are old and quite frankly – they are a party of OLD WHITE MALES. Who have never had to work hard or climb their way to the top.

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows," Romney told a conservative crowd at a speech sponsored by the Heritage Foundation in Washington. "Action — strong, bold action coming from a position of strength and determination — is the only effective deterrent."

What empty words. Chest beating only works on people who have no concept of diplomacy. China is finally in a place where they will no longer serve as a protector to N. Korea's nuclear ambitions. If we urge action NOW, then it will damage that diplomatic shift and we will be stuck in the same position. Furrowing eyebrows isn't as manly or rugged individual cowboy-like as some in this country require all our policy decisions to be, but cowboy diplomacy didn't work for nearly a decade, and it won't work now.

Additionally, I know the media has crowned Romney the candidate for 2012, but with the Republican ranks being composed of more and more unhinged charismatics every day as they slough off moderates, I don't see them electing a Mormon.

somebody tell these idiots the era of fear mongering is over.

Mitt Romney, you and Dick Cheney need to find a country, buy it and then the two of you can declare war on anyone you want to and go fight your war. This country is tired of war and we do not want more war but we not allow any one, including you and Dick Cheney drag us into another war.

And why is anything Mitt Romney says relevant?

Oh, I get it . . . He must be trying to run for President again!

Who still cares what Romney says? He has proven himself to be a person of no principles who will say whatever is in his own interests at the moment – then say something completely different tomorrow.

We'd all be better off if Romney would just strap his dog to the roof of his car (again) and go hunting varmints Elmer Fudd style with his small caliber rifle (again). I have this picture in my head

Why are these GOP cronies so bitter? They just can't stand the reality of losing to the best man! What a Loser!

"Tour of Apology"? Pll-EEASE....stop with the loaded rhetoric. First of all, If anything, the Republicans need to be taking a 'tour of apology' here in the US for mucking up our country. Secondly, are there any Republicans that are not so pompous, prideful, stubborn & arrogant as to completely deny the grave mistakes (bordering crimes) that the Republicans brought upon the US in the last 8 yrs (unfounded war, torture, world economic meltdown, etc.)? If so, where are they? Because what I mostly hear and see is Newt, Cheney, Rush, Romney and to a lesser extent Boehner...If that's all you've got, Lord help you!......

By the way, a man that isn't capable of admitting when they are wrong and apologizing for it, is no man at all!

Note to Mitt: You LOST! Not only that, you didn't even make the final cut. Republicans voted you off the island.

It's clear that he is running for president in 2012. It's also clear that his message is the same of GOP message; billions for military spending and wealthy cronies, nothing for America and the middle class.

Show me a Dem who actually stands up for and supports this country and its military, and I'll show you someone who really isn't a Democrat. They'll throw this country under the bus for votes, or to look good in the eyes of other countries. Obama apologizing in Europe, Pelosi kissing backsides in China, yep, their taking this country straight into the toilet

Romey......cough**loser

So I'm guessing by criticizing Obama's opposition to Bush's policies, Romney is saying he supported the Bush administration.

Romney couldn't even wrest the GOP nomination from John McCain. Has been, wannabe. Find something constructive, Mitt, instead of just crying.

Stick to your bronze medals Mitt...

Face the facts, you will never ever ever win a national election especially against President Obama

Thanks

If Mitt Romney knows so much, how come he isn't President?

Anything to keep his name in the news. Looking forward to seeing him burn through more of his money in 2012. Problem for him is that people see right through him, witness the 2008 primary debacle. I still think the dream ticket for 2012 will be the Palin/octomom ticket (credit to the original poster) had me in tears of laughter.

Mitt forgot that the election is now over! Save the campaign for the next run! This is a dying GOP party with Drug Limbaugh as the front runner!

2 of the same Romney you are so full of it you belong with Sarah the Mooseburger and remember you dont even need a microphone you were born with the gift of hollaring and hate .

Mitt, Our country turned it's back on 220 years of not attacking a country that did not attack us. If we don't apologize for the catastrophe that was the W. Bush Error than our words will be meaningless in the future.

You sir are one of thevery few people who could do a worse job as president than George W Bush did.

I thank God that you were not given the chance to bring down our nation even further. And I pray that you will NEVER be given that chance in the future,

The Republicans continue to run in circles, trying to find a message that resonates with a dwindling base, trying our criticisms of the President to see which ones work: "the Supreme Court choice is a racist; oh, that didn't work, so let's withdraw that"; "Obama is weak on foreign policy, oh, the policy is working in Iraq and Afghanistan, let's withdraw that"; let's try saying his dialogue-based approach is "a tour of apology".....see if that sticks. Eventually there will be good healthy political critique and dialogue, but for now the GOP is too confused to contribute anything but brief media moments.

Get off the soapbox you plastic politician.

What happened to your listening tour? Didn't like what WE SAY?

Hate-monger – you get your wish. I hate republicans.

Mr. Romney might take a history lesson. As one of the leading figures of his political party is credited with saying, "Speakly softly and carry a big stick." (That would be Theodore Roosevelt who, if he were alive today, would probably be held in suspicion by Rush Limbaugh as not being a real Republican.) We have the big stick or at least what is left of it after it was used unwisely by the Bush administration. If our stick isn't quite as big, it is because of unnecessary military involvement as well as economic difficulties due in large part to "conservative" policies. That policy was don't tax but still spend. We were running a credit card economy. It was inevitable that the bills would come due, and they have. We will be fine with wise leadership at the top. Mr. Romney, apparently the nation felt that you would not offer that.

First of all Mr. Romney, scare tactics are a real thing of the past and percieved by most Americans at this point as just plain posturing, or outright lying. The fact that North Korea may have a nuclear weapon does not justify an all out nuclear build up by the USA. I'm sure we have more than they do Mr. Romney. Many other much more reliable and believable sources have said that President Obama has not made us more unsafe than we already were before his election. The only apology I heard was the apology for the past administrations arrogance and lack of integrity to the rest of the world. This needed to be done to show that America was acting out of fear and lies. I'm sure that the christian that Romney professes he is would approve of all of the Bush / Cheney follies.

Oh Romney. With absolutely ZERO foreign policy experience, it's great that you say things like that. It's even greater that CNN posts it as top news irregardless.

BRAVO! Amen to that! I love Romney – the next president-in-line in 3.5 years! America needs Romney so badly to fix Obama's mess – I can hardly wait!

ROMNEY 2012!

OK, I hate calling names, but this joker lost the Republican nomination to John McCain, the worst possible candidate I've seen in FOREVER. How seriously are we supposed to take him?

Romeny, you Dick Chaney and the rest, Keep going. Keep slamming the president. You are digging your Republican hole deeper and deeper. You may fix things in a way the the Republican party never recover.

And what is Gov Romney's military expertise that he's falling back on? Oh, yeah, he ran the Olympics in Salt Lake. I wish someone would waterboard this guy to get him to admit the the LDS Church doctrinally believes in polygamy!

Is there some reason that this paranoid is not taking his medications?

How many more disgruntled republicans are going to sing this same off-key tune? I'm tired of them attempting to portray themselves as defenders of truth, justice and the American way! Who was in power when we were attacked on 9/11? Who made such a mess of the situation that we now have far more enemies now than we had at the time of the attack. NO, the republicans are not the party that has the answers on keeping us safe. The last 8 years have been a national nightmare; enough with crying about the policies of President Obama – this mess will take a long time to fix. The American people voted down the politics of fear last November; NOW, let's move forward!

Dear Mr. Romney,

This may come as a surprise to you but I must inform you that neither you, nor any of your opinions are relevant. Aside from the fact that you came in a poor second in the Republican Presidential nomination, your feeble attempt to recast yourself as an ultra-right wing politician is weak at best. Now, considering the fact that most the right wing
Evangelical Christians in your own party would never vote for you simply on the grounds that you are Mormon, and that Sarah Palin could probably beat you in a primary with her eyes closed, I respectfully request that you go away and just be a happy rich guy.

Sincerely,
Philip Grant

Not sure why these GOP fools don't zip it! They have all the solutions to the mess they have already created. American people are smart enough and tired of your conservative illusions. Get a LIFE!

"Arrogant and delusional"??

Sounds like the Republican pot calling the kettle black!

Take it from a former Bostonian, Romney is useless and short on brains. Romney and all of his GOP cronies are a sad and pathetic lot. Obama is not six months into his term, yet they have been hurling every criticism, valid or not, every insult they can think of at Obama. Give the president a chance. But I guess this is too much to ask, isn't it? In the end, the GOP campaign slogan, "Country First" really should have read "Party First".

Why do all these people who weren't able to get elected feel like America wants to hear their stupid comments on the guy who did get elected?

America does not want to hear your highly unpatriotic bull anymore. Shut your conservative traps!

So true. Romney knows what the tone should be from the top. Obama is, tragically, branding America as a self-despising institution, rather than one that is powerful and poised to succeed in the world.

Hey Mitt – here's a suggestion... go to hell and shut up! Ah, never mind – the "fringe electorate" would miss you terribly and you're needed to help shore up the antics of Rush, Newt, Hannity, O'Reilly and others who keep that fringe electorate frothing at the mouth. You've mastered the art of GOP Gibberish ... I'll try and see you as amusing, as opposed to frightening!

Ole Mitt,

Just the latest in a string of sniper shots from the carcass of the GOP.

I used to like Romney then i figured out he is like any other politician. He says the Defense budget isn't being prioritized. Thats funny considering the overall number jumped almost $20 billion. Why is it such a bad thing to spend more money here in the US on domestic issues. Isn't it money better spent if it goes to our own country instead of someone else's?

After 8 years of Bush, America cannot stand another empty suit in the office. We are very lucky to have a man ot keen intellect and cool temperament currently serving as our President.

Romney, take your Central Casting "presidential" looks and greasy hair and recede into anonymity with your billions.

Nothing new to complain about, so he digs up something old, and something that isn't even true. If there was any apologizing on Obama's tour, it was to apologize for 8 years of Republican arrogance, war, and gluttony. Romney should should think of cleaning his house and his party's house first.

I think the president is doing the right thing for America. Mr. Romney, you cannot make peace around the world through fighting.

Seriously, Mitt, Obama increased the military budget from the previous year. On top of that, have you seen our crumbling infrastructure? What do you want 50% of the nation to be on rolling blackouts before you invest in the homeland?

Romney has a good grasp of international politics, even though the area of finance is his forte. This freewheeling economy has reminded many of us just how nicely Romney would have fit our needs as a nation during these early months and years of a new administration.

Romney is an intellectual lightweight.

Let's give Scott Roeder the address of Mitt Romney!

Oh Romney, get a hold of yourself. You and the Republican Party, the party of NO. All you guys and gals do is slamming the President and the Democratic party for their ideas , and yet, none of you comes up with a different one, none of you. What's up with that ??!!

This is why Romney has been an unmitigated success his entire life, he has the guts to say what needs to be said. Obama SHOULD NOT be traveling the world apologizing for things that his predecessors did. Especially when he is on track to be the biggest spending president in the nation's history.

Keep it up Romney, only 4 years until you move into the White House!

look everyone.. romney is still campaigning for the presidential race.. maybe he doesnt know its over... someone should tell him the evangelicals didnt want him becuase he is not one of them,, and the rest of us dont want to hear from him either..ugh ..to the never ending presidential race

romney needs to shut up and sit back, and chill, he is not going anywhere, nobody is voting for him

Who cares what Mitt Romney thinks? Why are you giving this guy coverage? He's not even an elected official!

I don't recall former Democrat presidential candidates getting news coverage regarding their opinions of Bush's actions in the first months of his presidency!

Wait. The Obama 2009 Apology Tour will be followed by the 2010 Obama Surrender Tour, with special appearances in N.Korea and Iran.

Time to get the paid Obamabots to post that Romney is a hater, Rethuglican, bigot, he has prettier hair.....

Actually sheep, he forgot more than your fraud in chief knows.

Romney has actually run a few things and succeeded, all Obambi can do is run his mouth.

While North Korea is working on making and launching nukes as a way of testing the political neophyte Obambi, he is then cutting our defense mechanisms so he and his cabinet can BUY into everything and then become CZAR's in chief of EVERYTHING.

Romney is on record saying 6 months ago that GM should have been allowed to go into chapter 11, but 50 BILLION dollars later YOUR annointed and selected "genius" is finally coming to the same conclusion EXCEPT he wants to run it as well.

Romney/Rice 2012.

This is an old argument. You are so behing. Get a life.

Mr Romney,
Has activity supported the weakening of the US for the past 8 years by supporting the Republican agenda that has crippled the nation. The danger Obama must face was created by the Republican Party and Mitt Romney.

rommy knows how to deal with tyrants; just go to france and convert catholics to mormon while real men serve their country in Vietnam. you remember that tough duty don't you mitty? This no serving coward passed his yellow streak to 5 little mitty mos and they know how to stay home too, just like dada. What do "born with silver spoon in mouth" do for their country; rommy says they are working hard to get dada elected prez. What a pathetic little group the rommies make.

Well Romney.. you're speaking to a group of people that won't vote for you because you're a Mormon. Too bad.
But you're just delusional to say that we're not spending enough on the defense budget.
How much more will make us safe? As Haliburton and the like rob us blind in the middle east?
Additionally the 'wars' are off the books?

That's a true fiscal conservative if I ever saw one.
Good luck on your Presidential bid.

Romney is a buffoon.

What exactly are his foreign policy credentials? None. He's another legacy candidate – just because his father did well, he's trying to bogart off that.

Sorry Mittens, you've got no credibility in foreign policy, and your statements condemning Pres. Obama won't be a vote getter for you in our household.

hell if anyone say something negative about Obama, CNN will publish it. Romey is a nobody trying to get some publicity and CNN is more than willing to help.

I think at this stage of the game, the Repuplican party members should stay out of the promise and political attributes of the newly democratically chosen President of the United States. This country has an awful record of criticizing each others as well as suing people for small things. If Barack Obama wants to mend peace with nations that was not tolerated before let him do so. He is the most likable President that the US has ever had. US as a whole may not be liked by outsiders, but it is truly amazing what he is doing to heal this country's problems. He is seeing a light in the tunnel and will dig us out of it in time. So, Mr. Romney I certainly see that you are fundamentally wrong in your thinking.

Romney knows he's not a Republican favorite, so now he's attempting the old Bush theory of FEAR. This guy too is a joke.

Who really cares what Romney says anyway, hell he could not even win the Primaries. The republinuts don't even listen to him, so why should anyone else?

Oh ah Romney !
Please GO away!

Hey Mitt... you're a TOOL. After the last eight years of Fire, Ready, Aim, i think an "apology tour" is the LEAST we could do. We're supposed to be the beacon for the rest of the world... a shining example of what a nation SHOULD be! after these past 8 years we should not only apologize, but reverse the course we're on and get back to those "fundamental values" that you GOP'ers preach but never practice!

as for your claims that we're less safe because we've cut missile defense spending i put this to you... we have enough weapons in our arsenal to destroy this planet 1,000 times over! i think our resources would be better spent where they are.... right here trying to get this country on track! this is an old song you're singing Mitt (and Rush and Gingrich and Hannity and Cheney) and people have changed the station!!!

Romney apparently thinks he has a second shot at the Republican nomination. No way!

Yes, the man who could not get enough Republicans in the primary to vote now thinks that anyone cares......

hmm, I wonder if he had on his magical underwear when he made that statement?

He and the GOP are a joke. I suppose he disagrees with Def Sec Gates also. What happened to listen to those who know what they are talking about? Oh yeah the GOP does not do that as it would make sense.

p.s. keep up the good work on the Latina judge and watch the sun set on your party during the years from 2010 til it rises no more.

Be scared, be very scared. These pathetic republicans are all the same. I hope to god the American public is smart enough to not fall for it again.

Can't the Republicans find a new handbook to play from....trying to scare people into their vote has stopped working. It also doesn't play well in the world, he may as well be representing himself and his party with his quote "arrogant, delusional tyrants"

Romney is taking a page from the Rove/Cheney playbook by playing politics with the war on terrorism, using fear tactics for partisan politican gain. Romney has disgraced himself and the GOP and should withdraw from the 2012 Presidential campaign.

Hey Mutt, I guess you'd rather have us go and keep the killing and torture up, huh?

Oh listen to the Mitt the Twit running his mouth on foreign policy, something he totally has no experience in, and it shows. Sounds like he is parroting Rush and his buddies. THAT wont get him elected.

Enough with the rheotric already! When are people (on both sides of the aisle) going to stop with business as usual and listen to the message that the people sent in the November elections? That message is that this is a goverment "Of the people, by the people and for the people" – which means we elected you to work for us not for you.

Romney is an idiot

This guy is a joke; the plan for our armed forces is similar to that of GM. Leaner, meaner, and more precise! Look at what happened to our soldiers when they got sent to Iraq with unprepared Humvees and no body armor as Romney would have it. Time to make our armed forces the most technologically advanced against the terrorists, and I trust the brain of Obama over Romney any day!!!

Getting old, just like the GOP...old and tiresome

If we cared what these people thought, they would be in the white house and not conducting the side show. I am tired of these people continuing to divide the country instead of uniting them. If they had any clue on what to do (other than pander to the religious base), they could have done it over the past 8 years. Now, we have to listen to a bunch of back seat drivers who were not brave enough to stand up to the policies that got us here. Now go play somewhere else and shame on CNN for making opinions news.

Well maybe when he is President he can go back to the way the "Good ol' boys" which is not listen and have people hate us even more. Go ROMNEY!!! NOT!

This just goes to prove YET AGAIN what a self-serving jerk Mitt Romney is. He does not care a bit about this country or what is best for the people, only for his own political advancement.

This is the guy who got even less votes than John McCain. He needs to be quiet.

We had a Republican run government that did nothing of value for the American people for 2 presidential terms. N.Korea was just one more serious issue they ignored, along with health care, education, the economy and the nation's infrastructure – while they wasted money on Iraq and allowed Wall Street to run the nation into the ground unregulated.

This problem should have been dealt with during the Bush administration. What we don't need now is a bunch of political obsoletes like Gingrich, Cheney and Romney criticizing the President every time he tries to take on a problem their party ignored in favor of bankrolling their cronies.

The irony of Romney's statements is they resonate with what "arrogant delusional tryants" have for millenia been using to dupe the masses.

“Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a
simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every
country.” Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich Marshall

Cute.

Any media wannabe's follow-up with Romney on why he found Obama's Supreme Court pick "troubling"? Was it because Sotomayor isn't rich, white, and Mormon?

I love how Romney touts his business credentials... but Bain hasn't been doing too well lately.

When Romney was running for President, his five sons helped his election campaign instead of serving in the military. Such heroes, all of them.

This week Romney says he's a Republican. Let's see how often his stances change in the next election cycle.

Romney, a real foreign policy expert. What a joke. Get over it, MItt. 2012? Dream on.

Really!!?? I guess we should charge into N. Korea like we did Iraq, where we had no business going in the first place, & destroy a country like our former bozo President Bush did!! Please by all means, let us keep up that cowboy front & have more & more of the world hating us even more than they already do now...the only threats to the American people are Gingrich, Linbaugh, Cheney & now Romney...wake up guys...a new way of handling foreign & domestic affairs has arrived & I for one am glad of it...& by voting in President Obama by the landslide he was voted in by...I would hazard to say so is most of America...Thank God for President Obama * V.P. Biden & thank God we are finally rid of "W" & Cheney...

Its hardly news that Romney is giving a conservative speech to the Heritage Foundation. Why does CNN cover what Romney says anymore? Didn't the nation reject him as a leader during the last presidential campaign?

Obama and the democrats won the election with a promise of new ideas and a new direction. That's what Obama is doing and he has as mandate from the people to try new ideas. Whenever he does something the Republicans don't like, they say he is putting the country in harms way.

Romney may not like it but his ideas and his party were rejected. Obama need not apologize to anyone for moving to repair the damage caused by the previous administration.

So many of you voted for CHANGE. The primary change was skin color. The underlying and caustic changes are just beginning to rear their ugly heads.

Barack Obama will disarm the United States. He will protray us, worldwide, as an apologetic impotent nation. All the while, using tax payers money to infilitrate every industry in the country. Eventually, he will bail out a state, thereby accomplishing federal ownership of a state. Is everyone blind to this? Does anyone know where this will put us?

Spoken like a sore loser who is crying "Rush, Save us!"

Romey is an idiot!

Mr. Romney – Pleaae run for President again. Apparent;y, you did not get the message last time. We voted on your ideas.

This man needs to shut up seriously!

Romey boy is starting his campaign a little early. Oh yeah Romey, I heard your church had gotton a new revelation, Black people can now join, why think you. "We moving on Up!!!"

Romney said "Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows,"

Something we can actually trust he's speaking the truth about (every squirrel finds a nut eventually). Romney knows all too well how "Arrogant, delusional tyrants' think, after all, he's part of the biggest club of them around, the GOP.

ha!....no one's listening

Funny. For such a committed Christian, Mr. Romney doesn't seem to understand very much about humility. And for all his talk about "strong, bold action" – what exactly did that do for us under the Bush administration? Sometimes it's wise to talk before taking action. If anything else, it gives you more time to figure out what needs to be done.

Instead of working together to build a strong America, politicians would rather shoot the country in the foot.

Why did American's not elect Mitt Romney? Is it because the majority of Americans did not want him as their president.

The missile defense system is a ruse, it is not a completely functional system at this moment in time. Reagan spent billions on this ruse.

"President Obama shrank from defending liberty here in the Americas." And what exactly has Mitt, or any republican, done for national security? The previous administration really put this nation on shaky ground and endangered us more than any other administration in history. The Bush admin completely took their eyes off of N. Korea and now the republicans have the nerve to say Obama is endangering the country.

It is difficult to think of FDR's contestants in that period after the onset of the Great Depression. Now, Romney wants to castigate Obama for the need to overcome the poor and belated Republican attempts to destroy this country and Romney wants us to no the fear that he is dredging up for Obama's having to deal with these supposed problems. North Korea isn't that much of a problem that Romney is attempting to exploit. In fact, North Korea's antics is far more pernicious to its immediate COMMUNIST neighbors so Romney's attempts to exploit this matter doesn't wash. He may be one of those guys that history forgets as a contestant in Obama's immediate future much as those historical forgetful contestants for FDR!

Is anybody else tired of the Repubs always saying Obama endangered the United States? Come on. These guys just don't get it. It's like these guys are trapped in the 19th or 20th century.

YAWN....Mit who?

mitt can join cheney in the shut your freakin mouth club. it's amazing how the losers with loser ideas still stand up to remind us all that they are still and always will be losers. what part of almost 70 million votes cast against their loser ideas are they not getting?

CNN never posts my comments. Guess I am not conservative enough for them.

Mitt, nice hair. Now shut up and let the adults handle running the world, ok?

Right more of the same-ol'-republican BS. Will they ever learn or better will they ever admit to doing anything good? Nope!

On every act of the current President you have disagreeed and that is your right. Yet that does not make you right. The American people have spoken loud and clear in the majority that they support our President. You Mr Romey did not win the election, nor did you even place. I am a Vet of to conflicts and now a retired citizen at home enjoying my country. Also I just don't see how you can win a argument bellowing that we should spend more on weapons and fighting everyone outside our walls but not heal, fix & restructure our self to survive.

Mr. Romey I am an open minded American ( not Dem or Rep.) and I beleive you picked your battle cry poorly.

Just one more reason why the Republican Party is losing more and more ground... After 8 years straight of this "tough" policy of race waring and intimidation tactics making things worse instead of better and creating more enemies (or at the very least creating hatred among the peoples of those countries becuase of our arrogant and intimidating "Your with us or against us" stance), here they are, promoting their strongest candidate for next election so far wanting to bring those same policies back to life. How deep must they dig the whole they are in? Keep digging, I will gladly fill the whole after you have burried yourself too deep to come out.

Who in the hell is listening to this loser on foreign and military issues? He has access to nothing he does not know anything about our military and what going on as far as stratagy why in the heck should anybody listen to this has been? So I guess he is trying to become the leader of the republician party? If you ask me this is one spineless clown

If anyone knows arrogance Mitt does....he speaks from experience..

Who cares what this bozo has to say? He's not an elected official. He is a wuss, though. He threw in the towel against McCain way early. Oh yeah, Romney, you're a real tough guy.

Romey stop trying to score some political points for your party first it was the nominee now its the national security debate again all the republicans want is for the american people to put the focus on national security again so they can score some political points, its not about whether Obama is keeping america safe. Just like Dick Cheney trying to take the focus off of the torture that was committed by their administration. Me for 1 wont be fool by their political schemes.

It's really amazing that the Republicans are touting him as a possible candidate. He is the biggest BS artist in politics today and will say anything to get elected, even denouncing minorities and turning his back on women's rights. A truly despicable person in every way.

"Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took aim at President Obama..."

Of course he did, he's like every other disaffected right winger who feels they need to take aim at the one who helped further their party into oblivion.

Romney is in a lose-lose situation anyway. Mark my words, he will NEVER win the presidency because all the "loving" Christians and other zealots that plague the far right of the Republican party would never vote for a Mormon man. Romney can be a sensible guy, but since when is sense, logic, and fact ever part of the far right's mantra?? They rely solely on the voice in their heads and what 'feels right' to them.

Q: What do you call a broken record with a pompadour? (emphasis on the POMP)

Romney's hairspray has gotten into his small brain!

I thought the GOP was against socialism? You know, military is a HUGE factor of socialist policies. I mean, I thought it was all about the individual. Protect yourself you dirt bags, you got the right to bare arms, just not the right to privacy (thanks GOP dudes, that was so cool taking away our right to privacy).

While we are at it, let's eliminate Police forces, public education (well, Bush did do that already almost, ALL children were left behind under him), no more paved roads, and all republicans out of office, because we want a smaller government (put your money where your mouth is dirt bags).

Perhaps the writers and news celebrities should all chip in and buy a thesaurus and find some new words for "slams" and "blasts". Bets are on that Romney will be the star of John King's three hour Republican lovefest on Sunday.

Instead of slamming and blasting, why not some clues of what exactly Romney would do differently and a definition of what exactly the Republican "principles" really are. So far I haven't read or heard of one policy out of this man's mouth!

To mend the past in order to forge the future, an apologetic tone shows strength of character. I don't blame Obama for doing it. I blame Bush for requiring it. It takes greater strength to admit a wrong than rationalizing one as right.

Give it a rest, Mitt.

So Mitt, when are you going to step up to the plate and become a somebody. Sitting on the sidelines and getting paid by Conservative wish tanks to make speeches doesn't do much other than highpoint your party's shrill impotence.

It's amazing that this guy gets any cred, he lost to McCain, and he thinks people should treat him like EF Hutton.

Actually the missle defense system is well funded. The only cuts are admin and systems that don't work, such as the Reagan Era Star Wars stuff, like laser defense.

As usual, GOP goons complaining about things that don't really happen.

Old news CNN are there any current news?

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants can't be stopped by earnest words and furrowed brows" said Romney. Exactly. That's why we elected Barack, to shut people like you up.

An interesting point of view, considering that not one of his 5 sons have served or will ever serve. Not surprising coming from a chickenhawk, though.

The defense budget hasn't been "short-changed," it's been purged of useless, wasteful spending. Maybe now under Obama's watch, the term "homeless veterans" will be obsolete, along with the term, "no-bid contracts" and "Blackwater" or "Xe" or whatever the heck they call themselves now. I've been poor all my life, and I can balance a freakin' budget. You don't stop buying shoes; you stop buying televisions. The DOD just cut out televisions.

Yea Romney, you tell them! Yer my man! Down with the black man. Kick em out of our churches like the good ole days of Mormonism. And then cry when they let them back in!

Romney, please lead us back into the dark ages, I hate this bright sunshiny crap. The day's of old when the earth was flat, the sun revolved around us and america wasn't even discovered are where we need to go! You're just the man to take us there. Let's GO!

Yeah Mitt, let's start a war with Korea. That's the answer.

Romney would have made a great candidate in the 60's: Keep people in fear of "the bomb" and they will flock to he who puffs out his chest furthest. There's a clear reason why he was the only person who contributed to his primary campaign – that worn, agressive rhetoric doesn't work with a new generation of voters.

Mitt needs to sit down and shut-up, because what he is saying is the same old stuuf that has been heard over andover and over. We the people want to hear some encouraging and motovating words from the republcans. Mitt and other are the one that are putting the American people at risk from terorist by the constant remark. Talk about the budget, or where the party is going beside D__O__W__N

What now? HellMitt's trying to be a handsome version of Rush Limpbag? Where were all these critical voices of reason when Bush was driving this country over a cliff for 8 years? President Obama was elected to do a job of which 75% is cleaning up the countless messes left behind by his AIG (arrogant, incompetent & greedy) predecessors . Now back off and let him do it! That doesnt mean he should get a free pass to do anything he wants to do, but so far he's doing a commendable job. A grateful nation salutes you, Mr. President.

It seems that the ones on the outside, know more than the President. Must be nice to be so smart. What happened with his intellect when he was running for the republican nominee. Now he knows all and sees all. Must be nice.

My mother taught me that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. We need constructive words, not words designed to shoot this country down.

What Romney doesn't seem to understand is that thanks to the Bush administration, we're in a position where apologies are most certainly in order. We've misled the world into a poorly administered war, mismanaged the economy to the point of near global collapse, dragged political discourse further into the gutter than it's ever been, and all with an astounding aire of superiority. Amazing.

"Arrogant, delusional tyrants.....

Sounds like Bush to me.

Mitt the military would not have been short changed had we not put no bid contracts in to effect with the Bush administration. Those are unpatriotic and wasteful.

who are we fighting and what for? Answer here:__________________________________

We the people are proud of our president and we are tired of the fear politics so Mitt get lost.

"Romney argued Monday that the defense budget had been short-changed, and the nation's military readiness has been endangered, because of the president's call to increase spending on domestic programs. "None of that [new spending] was spent on increasing the defense modernization budget — a failure that history will never understand or excuse, in my view," he said."

The US spends more on its military than all other nations combined. Over 20% of our budget goes to defense. When people talk about "bloated" government they need look no further than the military.

Our forefathers specifically did NOT institute a standing army, because of the overwhelming historical evidence of its strong capacity at destroying nation it was designed to protect. NOTHING bankrupts a country faster than unmitigated military spending. NOTHING.

Okay you disagree but when will you put forth an effort to contribute to resolving this countries many problems. Even if you don't reside at 1600 Penn. Ave, I'm sure you can present a better face by submitting your suggestions on how things can improve. Americans are tired of policitians who sit on the sideline giving sound bites just to be seen and heard but not getting their hands dirty ti fix things (regardless of who is in control). I bet you that a number of us would think more of you if instead of bashing the other side, you pulled up your shirt sleeves and knocked on the door at 1600 Penn. Ave and said " Hey, I know we don't agree but I'm here to help out – put me to work". That would go a long way in your favor. Try it.

Romney, please for the sake of this country just keep your mouth shut and fade away back into the private sector. Us young republicans will no longer stand by and let you and the other arachic leaders of a past era destroy our party and our country in the process. Strong national defense begins with strong dialouge, and if all those measures fail you then move to the military option. Therefore, Obama's foreign policy is completely in line with our republican belief in strong national defense. Younger educated republicans understand that security reguires a true multi-facated approach. So, Mr. Romney, do not attack Obama on this issue for your own political gains, and do not do it in the name of the republican party. We are moving past you. If we work with Obama and solve to solve our nations problems, then our party will emerge stronger for it. But, most importantly, so will our country. We must never put politics above solutions.

The idea that "hard power" is the only effective strategy in foreign policy is incredibly ignorant, of both policy and history. Only "tyrants" rely soley on intimidation and coersion by force. The damage of the Bush doctrine has weakened us for nearly a decade and repairing America's image overseas is more important than Romney is willing to admit. Apparently, he is more interested in a 2012 presidential run than speaking seriously about an crucial issue.

Just go away, Mitt! We don't need your pearls of wisdom to keep you in the public eye until your next ill-fated run for President!

"Someone from al-Qaeda should attack us today," Milt went on to say, "seeing as how about 28% of us are disloyal Repubs who'd vote for Osama bin Laden if Rush told us to." His audience responded with mingled cheers and vomiting before fleeing the hall.
Romney then strapped a nearby dog to the hood of his car and sped away.

I have always liked former Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. However, this time he is 'wrong' about President Barack Obama's domestic, foreign and national security policies. Mike in Montana

Wait a second, everybody quiet down, Mitt's trying to say something!
Aww, isn't that cute.

Its obvious Romney want to be the voice of the GOP. He keeps blabbering nonesense.

I'm quite sick of hearing from Mittens and the Huckster...CNN please pick another primary loser to highlight for a while.

Mitt go hunting with Dick

God help the GOP if they nominate this slick, phony, used-car salesman of a candidiate.

It will just guarantee the re-election of President Obama.

Improving the world view on America is crucial for our security. Instead of bulling the rest of the world Obama is bringing the world together and fomenting allies. What's wrong with that?

this guy is dangerous...his rhetoric means he would have us fighting WWIII. Romney, go put on your magic underwear and shut up! you lost!

It's amazing how Mitt Romney has all the answers concerning President Obama's performance as President. Yet, Mr. Brilliant (Romney) didn't have the brilliance to make a decent showing with his totally ineffective campaign for the Republican nomination for president. If he doesn't know enough to win a nomination, how in the hell does he have any credibility as he criticizes President Obama; a political phenom who is truly brilliant! Mitt Romney, you are not qualified to criticize anybody in politics! You're a political chump.

Why is that Americans can't say we are sorry? This belief that we are somehow better then everyone else is probably why so many people hate us around the world. Do as I say not as I do. Just because we give money to those in need around the world doesn't give us the right to act as though we are better then anyone else. You can be strong and still admit mistakes. In fact it will make us stronger because other nations will stand with us against evil.

Shrank from defending liberty? The last thing this country needs is more useless saber rattling and rhetoric from someone like Mitt Romney. I would say that President Obama is defending liberty just fine by not spitting on the Constitution and eliminating our civil liberties like "43" did.

But seriously, keep on criticizing and offering nothing. You're right in step with the party line.

Honestly, do this twat Romney thinks he is ever going to be a president – I doubt it!

Romney should go chill at the back of his mormon church, get a couple of his cuncubines with his stepford wife leading the pack of barbie dolls and go frolick himself somewhere with his millions!

he is NOT genuine even while spewing that RNC gibberish talking point!!!

Trying to re-coin the Cheney "Torture Tour" (coming to a town near you!). Poor Mitt, your Magic Underwear not treating you right today?

And I care what Mitt Romney thinks, because....???

Has everyone noticed that when Romney hasn't been in the news for a few days he finds something else wrong with Obama. The really sad part is the news keeps giving him free time.

Well there is no news there, the GOP slams everything they come in contact with right now. It helps them feel needed and gives them a place to hide from the mess they left us with and no new ideas to fix any one of those problems.

More country not only lost there position in the world due to economic they lost there whole country and the president durning first thing first and that constration on the ecomony .

MItt needs to go on an apology tour! Mitt has NO understanding of international diplomacy.

I wonder sometimes if older white men were ever told that 2 wrongs don't make a right. Is Romney suggesting the the arrogant delusional tyrants who just left office were doing a better job. You know one tyrant to another. We voted for something new. We voted for the smart guy and believe it or not, smart guys get results too... Time to tone down the testasterone just a wee bit....

Is Mitt Romney delusional?? The USA has enough missiles to obliterate North Korea over and over and over again!!!!! How's that threat working out for ya Mitt? Has this man who wanted to be president not heard of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction)??? There are enough missiles already on planet Earth to destroy every enemy the US has – and to do rather thoroughly.

Why is it important what Romney thinks? He's not in Congress. He's not an official leader of the GOP. He doesn't even have a radio show.

So who cares?

Also, Mitt, your party lost the election. The voters wanted a new direction. This is it.

Mitt, go ahead and kow-tow to the radical right. By the time 2012 comes around the Republican Party will have ceased to be a political force.

Romney needs to kick rocks. He's not even elected official and couldn't even beat McCain in the primaries. How is he even relevant? This idiot's going on a "Listening Tour." Obviously he doesn't know what Americans want.
