President Obama announced on Monday that he's running for his job again in 2012. The Republican presidential candidates have been storming the country with dropped hints of their greater ambitions when looked to for money quotes, and they're about to come out of the woodwork in full. It just so happens that right now is an incredibly quote-worthy moment in time... for the delicate and traditionally voter-immune questions on foreign affairs comes up more and more often, as entire regions of the world are now spilling into chaos and revolution. It's true: Most Americans don't consider foreign policy an issue to break sticks over in the voting booth, often because most presidential candidates don't have significant records on foreign policy. And yet, a major talking point of second-term elections often amounts to the fact that a president one term into his presidency actually does have that experience, and some are even saying that Obama could run a campaign on it. So, realistically, how do the GOP could-be's stack up against our current Commander-in-Chief?
