Romney raps Obama over Arab Spring

US: Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of minimizing volatile Middle East threats as "bumps in the road" Monday after the White House branded such Republican attacks as "desperate and offensive." The White House hopeful's fellow Republicans meanwhile complained Obama had downgraded the US alliance with Israel, seizing on the president's interview with CBS "60 Minutes" in a bid to erode his electoral edge on foreign policy.

Obama said in the interview broadcast Sunday that there were going to be "bumps in the road" following the Arab spring as nations dominated by Islam and formerly governed by autocrats evolve towards democracy.

But Romney said the comments smacked of weak US leadership and amounted to downplaying the death of ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi.
