In book, Romney blasts Obama over U.S. image

President's possible 2012 rival says Obama is fueling 'anti-American fires'

AP -updated 4:26 p.m. MT, Tues., March. 2, 2010

BOSTON - Once and possibly future Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney says in a new book that President Barack Obama's international outreach efforts during his first year in office have been "kindling" to the "anti-American fires burning all across the globe."

In a wide-ranging policy book none-too-subtly titled "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," Romney says the Democrat's efforts to reconcile with foreign powers, Muslims and others angered by President George W. Bush's administration have weakened the country's stature instead of enhancing it.

"And of all people, we should expect our president to understand these things, to expect that his bonds of affection for our country would be obvious and unbreakable," writes Romney. "In a world composed of nations that are filled with rage and hate for the United States, our president should proudly defend her rather than continually apologize for her."

He writes: "There are anti-American fires burning all across the globe; President Obama's words are like kindling to them."
