Tonight’s presidential debate will focus on foreign policy. I remember in 2004 the Bush campaign ran on the premise that he “kept us safe” despite 9/11 taking place under his leadership. Fast forward eight years and President Obama is running for re-election with Republicans saying that his foreign policy has “failed” despite having killed Osama bin Laden, restoring respect among our European allies and preventing any major terrorist attacks on American soil — not to mention the fact that he got all of America’s soldiers out of Iraq. Obama’s foreign policy record is perhaps his strongest argument for re-election. Romney has a tough task to prove otherwise.
