Romney says President Barack Obama could have done more to dissuade Russia from annexing Crimea. Romney said Obama didn't have the foresight to anticipate Russia's intentions. He told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, March 23, 2014, that Obama's "naivete" and "faulty judgment" about Russia has led to a number of foreign policy challenges. He said the U.S. should now welcome nations that seek entry into NATO, should forgo cuts to the nation's military budget and reconsider putting a missile defense system into the Czech Republic and Poland, as once planned.(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)The 2012 Republican presidential nominee had some harsh words on Sunday for the person many believe will be the Democratic nominee in 2016: Hillary Clinton.
