Events Abroad Take Bigger Slice of Campaign Debate


GOLDEN, Colo. — President Obama and Mitt Romney entered new political terrain on Thursday as their campaign debate moved more solidly onto issues of foreign policy, a subject that had largely been absent as a major general election issue until this week.


With the killings of four United States diplomats in Libya thrusting foreign policy to the forefront of the race, Mr. Romney sought to broaden his indictment of Mr. Obama’s approach to the world a day after he was roundly criticized for his initial reaction to the president’s handling of the crisis in Libya and Egypt. But officials in the Obama campaign were almost welcoming the fight, saying they were glad to be challenged on what they now consider the comfortable territory of foreign policy.
