Romney and Obama campaigns.

In the article entitled "For Romney and Obama campaigns, a Need to Control the Message" talks about the recent wave of violence anti-EEUU in the Middle East and how this could affect or benefit their campaigns also the change that they must give to his speech.

A few weeks ago it seemed that Obama had the reelection in his pocket, in the surveys it was standing ahead of Romney, but the recent events in the Middle East have changed the perspective of these elections and forced both campaigns to abandoning the economic playbook that they were thinking to use. 

Recently an amateur video where puts in ridiculously the prophet Mohammed was circulating and in reprisal hundreds of people demonstrated outside the American Embassy. This gave as consequence the death of the ambassador of the United States in Libya, Chris Stevens.

The administration of the President Barack Obama is suffering the consequences of having failed in the exercise of leadership in the Middle East, where anti-American sentiment leads to a new wave of violence in the region.

The President said to have improved the United States image in the world, but the recent attacks on U.S. embassies make see the politics of Obama as a failure.

The foreign politics has become a campaign issue, and the burning of American flags is not a good image for Obama, while Republicans see in this episode a great opportunity to win votes.

Obama said that the republican Romney is not prepared to assume a role on the international scene.

Actually, we do not have idea of how it will be Mitt Romney's exterior politics, because it has criticized very much, but he has said very little.

Obama and the republican Mitt Romney will embark this week in a series of trips in states that are very disputed electorally in moments in which both campaigns exchange critiques for the instability in Middle East and the situation of the economy.

Romney's itinerary includes scales to collect funds in the area of Los Angeles, together with an attempt for gain Latin voters, includes a speech for the Hispanic Chamber of Trade of The United States.

We are close of the closing campaign and both candidates will have to choose very well his strategy to be able to gain votes in this difficult situation of confrontation.
