Subscribe to RSSAs Mitt Romney sharpens his attacks on President Barack Obama's foreign policy, the Romney campaign faces its own backlash on the same front, with some in his own party accusing him of a neoconservative agenda. Former U.S. Ambassador and GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman discusses.
Former GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman re-affirmed his support for Mitt Romney on Friday, saying he plans to vote in November for the Republican presidential nominee.
"I support Mitt Romney," Huntsman, a former Utah governor and ambassador to China for President Barack Obama, told NBC's Andrea Mitchell in an interview this afternoon.
Romney and Huntsman hail from two of the most prominent Mormon political and business families in the country, and have long been considered rivals.
Perhaps underscoring that rivalry, when asked whether he's talked recently with Romney, Huntsman responded: "I don't ever talk to him."

Flip-Flop of the Day:
I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social - or sexual orientation.
But at the same time, I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.

Over the past several weeks, the Republicans have taken up a new gripe: "Obama has thrown its ally, Israel, under the bus. He will not even take time to meet with Netanyahu....blah, blah, blah."
What they are ignoring is a very simple fact: Obama does NOT want to be locked into another war, and Netanyahu is doing all he can to force that issue.
Speech after speech, Netanyahu is demanding "red line Iran". If Obama does red line Iran, exactly what would provoke us to war, he hands control to Iran...they would know exactly how far to push us. It is far more prudent not to let Iran know what the limits are.
It is interesting that Netanyahu has NOT set down a red line for Iran himself!
When Netanyahu stops demanding the US set up a timeline for war, then and only then, is he deserving of time from out President.
