Try to identify ANTHING specific, other than his expectation that Obama should be psychic, in this whole Face the Nation interview with Mitt Romney: ___________ Well, there’s no question, but that the president’s naiveté with regards to Russia, and his faulty judgment about Russia’s intentions and objectives has led to a NUMBER of foreign policy challenges that we face. And, unfortunately, not having ANTICIPATED Russia’s intentions, the president wasn’t able to shape the KINDS of EVENTS that MAY have been able to prevent the KINDS of CIRCUMSTANCES that you’re seeing in the Ukraine, as well as the THINGS that you’re seeing in Syria … I think effective leaders typically are able to SEE THE FUTURE to a certain degree, and then try to take ACTIONS to SHAPE it in SOME WAY. And that’s of course what this president has failed to do, and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well. They thought RESETTING relations with Russia, handing out GIFTS to Russia, would somehow make Russia change its objectives. Well, that certainly wasn’t the case. Had we, from the very beginning of the demonstrations in Ukraine, had we worked with our allies and said, Look, let’s TALK about the KINDS of severe SANCTIONS we would put in place if Russia were to decide to move, and had we then COMMUNICATED that to Russia beforehand, not put in place the sanctions but communicate, Look, Russia, stand down here. Don’t you think about grabbing territory or these are the THINGS that will have to happen. These are the ACTIONS we will take. ___________ What things What actions? What gifts? What talk? What sanctions? Put up, or shut up, Mitt.
