Obama vs. Romney on Foreign Policy by Corran Nolan

The Presidential Debate tonight (on Monday) was a face to face table debate about the US Foreign Policy. In this debate, President Barack Obama was very much on the offense, proclaiming that Romney has been "all over the map" on foreign policy. President Obama never let up during this furious debate, criticizing Romney stance on foreign policy saying "every time you've offered an opinion [on foreign policy], you've been wrong. Even with all the President's criticism, Romney's counters were lackluster. He kept referring to his time as the Governor of Massachusetts, and talking about the "tumult" in the Middle East. President Obama countered this by explaining how the Governor's policies across the board were aged and out of date. Despite all of this, the presidential nominees both agreed on many subjects, from drone strikes to the Iranian nuclear crisis.
