LEXINGTON, Va.—Looking to bolster his foreign policy credentials in the final weeks before Election Day, Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of "passive leadership" in the Middle East and linked last month's deadly attack on the United States Consulate in Libya to a larger critique of what he described as Obama's failed leadership overseas.

My Comment: What is my take on this speech .... every Democrat/Republican President (with the exception of this one)  throughout American history has always given this type of speech. As for the content .... some parts I agree .... some I do not .... but even though I am rarely in favor of US intervention and involvement in the world trouble spots, it is still refreshing to hear a President talk about American exceptionalism and idealism on foreign and international affairs. In the end .... if this speech will help to spur a debate on foreign policy and national security issues that will give  the American electorate a clear choice on who to choose in November .... I will then call it a success
