I'm joining us now is congressman Randy Forbes -- project member of the armed services committee.

Member of the House Judiciary Committee good to have you -- always good to -- -- -- your reaction to the president's speech the United Nations.

We -- kind of shocked when the presence there -- a season of progress when you're talking about and a masters like being taken brutally taken.

Our embassies -- -- flags being burned and I don't know what touched and president using to measure that with but when.

He continues to think that the sole cause of this is a single film that the United States than having thing to do with.

I think he's -- and the real issue here which is terrorism he won't even talk about that work.

It is.

Astonishing that that there was no destruction of radical Islamist terrorism specifically.

It is also to be at least a peculiar that he talked about with modern technology there's no way to constrain communication.

As he.

If you will preach to the the gathered assembly there.

But its language -- -- seems very free and offering into the Muslim world.

He's not one it's to my knowledge advanced toward China which has constraining technology and communication.

And certainly not in the name of freedom.

But that's true and Lou the other thing the biggest constraint is when people -- the world reliance of -- -- Has some strength and we're gonna be there to protect -- diplomats and protect our embassies.

When they see that they can push us around and -- we're gonna do was to blame -- on what they're blaming it on I think that just encourages them to do more these actions are.

And and governor Romney in New York today he gave a very good speech before the -- this year.

But it was a speech that frankly.

Was somewhat discordant because it wasn't relevant to the foreign policy issues being discussed by the leader of the free world and the commander in chief.

What is your reaction -- -- I think that Mitt Romney is in the position to win this presidential race.

I think though it's very important that he stop acting like candidate and start acting like the president of the United States.

-- I would have had -- do today is be meeting with these world leaders as the president refused to do.

And give that down differentiation between the president of the United States sitting there when they talk show.

Talking about being -- candy and having Mitt Romney meeting with world leaders to try to solve these problems.

That's what we'll see him do of these next week source and formula.

And yet.

And -- President Obama -- spying.

Brushing aside.

The news in the prime minister of Israel despite just simply refusing to be with any number of the -- true.

Who on would have believed as we've pointed out from that statement by the candidate.

Obama.

Some five years ago -- It just makes no sense what's happening here that settling -- campaign takes priority over the business of state.

Well nice and there's no comment out -- in the main -- well the mainstream in here.

The media has totally brushed anything this president's -- -- -- but what's becoming more more clear I think to the American people.

This president's policies on economy have failed and failed miserable.

If he's reelected we'll have four more years of this failed policies.

Now it's becoming more clear that his foreign policies crumbling around the world and Lewis not just the Middle East.

In any pullback if not a missile defense systems adding Europe to appease the Russians what are they did they just -- 700 billion dollars more on defense.

He has tried to appease the Chinese and -- they're doing they're expanding their sovereignty claims around the world right now.

And -- the middle east policy is crumbling around and America -- leadership and right now the only opportunity were unhappy is -- president Romney we'll see that the next several weeks.

Congressman Randy Forbes thanks for being here.
