How can Romney get tough on China when his portfolio has stock there?

for political gain--just like Bush. Obama should mention the tape on which he said he would take advantage of any foreign policy crisis like the Iran Hostage Crisis, and then note that is precisely what he has done. Before knowing the facts, he was attacking Obama on Libya, while his supporters in Congress leaked sensitive information about a CIA base and Libyan's who worked with the consulate. His aggressive stance towards Iran during the campaign will limit future policy options and increase the likelihood of war, just as sanctions are taking a toll. Likewise with Syria.

Obama should then note that a President cannot engage in these kind of theatrics because he has to actually govern. Romney has been acting a loose-cannon on foreign policy and this will damage our national security no matter who is elected.
