Romney: World ‘Not Safe’ Under Obama

Says president has “weakened” military.

Tell us what you really think, Mitt. Speaking at a veterans museum in San Diego on Monday, the presumptive Republican nominee said the “world is not safe” under President Obama and charged that the president has weakened the military. Saying there are “two courses” the nation could follow, Romney said “one is to follow the pathway of Europe, to shrink our military smaller and smaller to pay our social needs … and hope for the best. But if we followed that course, there would be no one to protect us.” The event, sponsored by the Veterans Museum and Memorial Center and the Vietnam Veterans of America, attracted 5,000 people, although the organizers had asked Romney not to say anything political as it is their annual event.
