Romney: Foreign policy shouldn't react to events

PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says U.S. foreign policy should not be conducted “at the mercy of events” overseas. He also says the death of a U.S. ambassador in Libya and unrest in the Middle East are more than just bumps in the road.

Romney was referencing President Barack Obama comments during a “60 Minutes” interview broadcast Sunday. During the program, Obama said it was clear there would be “bumps in the road” for Arab countries going through the transition to democracy.
