So you see it as Romney was aggressive, I saw it as him being smart and not trying to speak on foreign policy in a debate with the current commander in chief, and conservatives saw him as being submissive. LOL! I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

Romney wasn't aggressive... he wanted to be aggressive... and he got decked for it. He should have been more strategic than he was, and less of an easy target. He got his base to become more apathetic about him while Obama made his own base more energetic. It is ironic that Romney claimed Obama gives mixed signals and lacks of a clear voice, when it was Romney in the debate who gave mixed signals and lacked a clear voice. By Mitt's own foreign policy standard, Obama fit the role better than Mitt.
