LOS CABOS, Mexico – President Barack Obama warned Mitt Romney and his advisers to not attack him on foreign policy, telling the press here that “we have one president at a time.”
Asked about a Romney adviser’s op-ed in a German newspaper last month critical of Obama’s economic plan, Obama argued that there’s a history of not letting domestic politics intercede in international conversations.
“I would point out that we have one president at a time and one administration at a time, and I think traditionally the notion has been that America’s political differences end at the water’s edge,” Obama said, speaking at the end of his two-day conference with world leaders here.
But Obama took issue with the Romney campaign’s version of discussions.
“I’d also suggest that he may not have been familiar with what our suggestions to the Germans have been. I think sometimes back home there is a desire to superimpose whatever ideological argument are taking place back home on a very complicated situation in Europe,” the president said.
Obama opened the press conference by ticking through progress he’d made with European leaders on addressing the debt crisis there, acknowledging that problems on the continent would reverberate in the American economy in ways that could hurt his political chances.
“I think it’s fair to say that any, all these issues, economic issues will potentially have an impact on this election. But that’s not my biggest concern right now,” Obama said. “My biggest concern is the same one I’ve had over the last three and a half years.”
There remained sticking points, though. Obama admitted that talks with Russia and China had not yet acheieved an international consensus on the future of Syria and President Bashar al-Assad.

Dumb fark!
That picture chaps my hide.
Obama is the Michael Scott of politics.
Helmut Schmdt lectures Jimmy Carter
As time went on, Carter lost more and more respect for his know-it-all German counterpart. The diary contains frequent comments disparaging Schmidt, such as: “Schmidt lectured on economic matters and gave a history of Germany’s great sacrifice to help other nations overcome their economic problems.” Likewise, the two leaders started to clash more often in public. During the oil crisis, the two argued over energy-saving measures at a G-8 summit in Tokyo. “The first day of the economic summit was one of the worst days of my diplomatic life,” says Carter’s diary entry from June 28, 1979. “Schmidt got personally abusive toward me.”
Anybody wanna bet BO has a ‘World’s Best President’ coffee mug?
He is a pw’d joke.

Sen. Barack Obama called the war in Iraq a “dangerous distraction” Tuesday and said more emphasis must be placed on the battle in Afghanistan.
“As should have been apparent to President Bush and Sen. [John] McCain, the central front in the war on terror is not Iraq, and it never was,” Obama said in what his campaign called a major policy address on Iraq, Afghanistan and national security.
FUBO
LOL. Great graphic.
Bwahahahah! Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are! :-D
“”America’s political differences end at the water’s edge,” Obama said, speaking at the end of his two-day conference with world leaders here.””
It’s as we expected - even HE doesn’t believe his own lies. When has he NOT spoken against the US when he’s out of this country?
A case of: Do as I say and blah blah blah????
Thanks for posting that picture.
“”I think it’s fair to say that any, all these issues, economic issues will potentially have an impact on this election. But that’s not my biggest concern right now,” Obama said.””
And no one fell out of their chair laughing????
“My biggest concern is the same one I’ve had over the last three and a half years.”
Well, shucks - he didn’t finish the sentence, did he?
I should have picked up all of that quote... The same concern of 3 1/2 years is what - getting reelected?
whaaaaa, whaaaa, waaaaa ... didn’t stop anyone from criticising Bush. Also, whyt doesn’t obama say that to the face of ole willie clintin who shows up with obama and takes over the stage. That’s a riot. I’’m no clintin fan by any means but ...he moves in and “takes over.” Ha,ha. I find it humorous.

Obama melting down all over the. Place.
Another way of saying, “I won.”
Salve
I would not advise him at all to give speeches like this from a idiotic figure on international stage.
Putin made it clear what he thinks, and did others.
I want to interject this suppose “Body language.”
1. Putin made it very clear, he is not working with intelligent person.
2. Putin in body language send a message: If you make fun of White House, of dignitaries, when some homosexuals can do what they want to do, our conversation is over.
3. Time for you to bring adults to talk.
Merci.
