In an interview with the Washington Post, a top Romney foreign policy adviser - Richard Williamson - said with regard to the attacks in Egypt and Libya: "There's a pretty compelling story that if you had a President Romney, you'd be in a different situation. For the first time since Jimmy Carter, we've had an American ambassador assassinated."
Really? This is once again pretty low. We didn't hear then Democratic Presidential candidate, John Kerry, declare to the nation during his battle against Republican incumbent George W. Bush in the run-up to the 2004 election that if he had been elected president in 2000, 9/11 wouldn't have happened. I'm amazed by all the desperate moves the Romney team has made over this past week.
Williamson's claim is merely speculatory, unprovable and through that, ridiculous. While he's at it, he should make a list of all the other things which may have happened if Mitt Romney had been the president at that point in history:
If Mitt Romney had been president...
...AIDS could have been prevented.
...the Great Depression wouldn't have happened.
...he'd have much less money than he does now.
...Mormonism would be cool.
...we'd have world peace.
