LOS CABOS, Mexico – President Barack Obama warned Mitt Romney and his advisers to not attack him on foreign policy, telling the press here that “we have one president at a time.”
Asked about a Romney adviser’s op-ed in a German newspaper last month critical of Obama’s economic plan, Obama argued that there’s a history of not letting domestic politics intercede in international conversations.
“I would point out that we have one president at a time and one administration at a time, and I think traditionally the notion has been that America’s political differences end at the water’s edge,” Obama said, speaking at the end of his two-day conference with world leaders here.
But Obama took issue with the Romney campaign’s version of discussions.
“I’d also suggest that he may not have been familiar with what our suggestions to the Germans have been. I think sometimes back home there is a desire to superimpose whatever ideological argument are taking place back home on a very complicated situation in Europe,” the president said.
Obama opened the press conference by ticking through progress he’d made with European leaders on addressing the debt crisis there, acknowledging that problems on the continent would reverberate in the American economy in ways that could hurt his political chances.
“I think it’s fair to say that any, all these issues, economic issues will potentially have an impact on this election. But that’s not my biggest concern right now,” Obama said. “My biggest concern is the same one I’ve had over the last three and a half years.”
There remained sticking points, though. Obama admitted that talks with Russia and China had not yet acheieved an international consensus on the future of Syria and President Bashar al-Assad.
