THEY NEVER APOLOGIZE: Jay Carney: No regrets about Team Obama’s dinging Mitt Romney on Russia.
In October 2012 Romney called Russia America’s “No. 1 geopolitical foe” and the Obama campaign immediately pounced, releasing an attack ad featuring former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright which accused Romney of being an out-of-touch cold warrior.
The campaign also published and circulated a poster employing a Soviet-style propaganda motif dismissing the “preposterous notion” that Russia is our “No. 1 Geopolitical Foe.”
“Mitt Romney talks like he’s only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV,” the poster proclaimed.
For Obama, it’s more like Mission to Moscow.
