In a attempt to embarrass President Obama over "open mic" gaffe, Mitt Romney manages to draw fire from BOTH Russian President and the Republican Speaker of the House.

"Wait, what I said wasn't smart? Well it sounded smart inside my head!"
The other day Mitt Romney said this about Obama's incident with the open mic:

Well, my guess is it has to do either with nuclear arms discussions, or it has to do with missile defense site. What he did both on with nuclear weaponry already and the new START treaty, as well as his decision to withdraw missile defense sites from Poland, and reduce our missile defense sites in Alaska from the original plan. 

I mean, these are very unfortunate developments and if he's planning on doing more and suggest to Russia that he has things he's willing to do with them he's no willing to tell the American people, this is to Russia this is without question our number one geopolitical foe, they fight every cause for the world's worst actors, the idea that he has some more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed.

That statement about Russia being "our number one geopolitical foe" did not go over very well with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev who responded in this way:

 “Regarding ideological clichés, every time this or that side uses phrases like ‘enemy number one’, this always alarms me, this smells of Hollywood and certain times (of the past),” Medvedev sniped. 

“I would recommend all U.S. presidential candidates … to do two things,” Medvedev added sharply. “First, when phrasing their position one needs to use one’s head, one’s good reason, which would not do harm to a presidential candidate. Also, (one needs to) look at his watch: we are in 2012 and not the mid-1970s.”

Ouch!

And if that wasn't embarrassing enough House Speaker Boehner also took Mitt to task for attacking the President while he was representing America overseas:  

“Clearly while the president is overseas, he’s at a conference and while the president is overseas I think it’s appropriate that people not be critical of him or our country.”

It just goes to show, you can appear to be  right out of central casting for the role of President, but that does not mean you have what it takes inside to do the job. And apparently what's inside of Mitt Romney right now is a whole lotta stupid!

Perhaps he can get Palin to help in dealing with Russia.  I understand she has been staring at them from her front porch for years.
