thewayne"Our esteem around the world has fallen. I can't think of a major country, it's hard to think of a single country that has greater respect and admiration for America today than it did five years ago when Barack Obama became president. And that's a very sad, unfortunate state of affairs."
-- Mitt Romney, earlier this year, making an assertion that is contradicted by Pew Global Attitude Project polls in 2006 and 2014 regarding confidence in the U.S. president to do the right thing regarding world affairs: the only two countries where confidence in Bush was stronger than confidence in Obama were Russia and Pakistan.
I saw a breakdown of this lie and of some of the lies he told during his presidential run. Basically, he's very good at doubling-down on lies even when they've been rigorously disproved.
Sounds to me like he's considering running again in '16.
