John Kerry: "Mitt Romney talks like he's only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV" twitpic.com/asi770
Obama Campaign Debuts "Rocky IV" Movie Poster
The president charged that Mitt Romney is stuck in a “Cold War mind warp.”
The Obama campaign has stepped up its mockery of Mitt Romney’s foreign policy views, continuing a theme rolled out at the Democratic National Convention to portray the Republican candidate, who has limited foreign policy experience, as out of his depth in international affairs.
The latest installment: a fake movie poster that uses the line Senator John Kerry debuted in his speech two days ago at the convention, where he compared Mitt Romney’s national security ideas to those of Sarah Palin.
“Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska,” Kerry said on Thursday. “Mitt Romney talks like he’s only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV.”
President Obama also piled on in his DNC speech: “After all, you don’t call Russia our number-one enemy — not al Qaeda, Russia — unless you’re still stuck in a Cold War mind warp.”
Obama campaign officials believe that Romney is vulnerable on foreign policy after his difficult trip overseas in August and his failure to mention the war in Afghanistan in his speech in Tampa.
Those were the latest stumbles Chicago has seized upon. Earlier in the year, a Romney advisor also incorrectly referred to Russians as “Soviets,” a problematic term as the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991.

Pres O 8 months agoRussia and China are both our #1 geopolitical foe. They are investing heavily into their military to update and gain a potential superiority in their respective areas of the world, strategically aligning with nations and governments who have hostile actions towards the US through soft policies and trade deals, and finally it’s been no secret that they don’t actually like the US all that much. it’s not as an outrageous of a statement as it may sound. Despite what a majority of people think, the world is not peaceful. it doesn’t want to be peaceful. there always needs to be someone on top of the throne, it’s human nature.

papersnowman32 8 months agoWell, even if Al-Qaeda is our number one enemy, that doesn’t mean it’s a “geopolitical” foe. Maybe China qualifies better than Russia, but it’s not the glaring error this poster makes it out to be.
