Obama's campaign has been largely gaffe free.
The poor syntax of "you didn't build that" was an opportunity for distortion the GOP didn't pass up.
Mitt on the other hand has been a disaster on every foreign policy issue he's touched. Insulting our closest ally Britain. Disparaging Palestinian culture and thus disqualifying himself as a mediator. Being stuck in a cold war mentality calling Russia our enemy, and thus helping Putin's negotiating position in missile defense talks. He can't even criticize Chinese monetary manipulation without getting China to talk about how much money he's made investing in their cheap labor companies.
And now this amateur hour flap. I have real concern about this guy's competence in diplomacy.
I also do not want to go to war with Iran.
