In
Romney’s speech, he did not address the war in Afghanistan. He left out all the
talk about war and everything related to the subject. Well, critics didn’t like
that too much. In Obama’s speech, he addressed all of the issues pertaining to
the wars in the east, as critics blew up in Romney’s newsfeed about not
addressing the issue. "In an almost 45-minute speech, Mitt Romney didn't find
a moment to mention Afghanistan," Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina
said in a statement sent to reporters just after midnight. "With no new
plans and evasion about his real plans, Mitt Romney leaves this convention no
stronger than he came."
I think
that Romney should have addressed the issue upon the wars. It’s a big topic
among the people and critics and I think that they would have liked the speech
more. Lots of families have one or more member in some war in the east. I think
more people paid more attention to Obama because of him making a deal out of
the war.

Obama uses this as an attack point against Romney. He finds this to be an issue because Afghanistan is in a time of chaos. American troops are stationed there as we speak. Some people find the war in Afghanistan to be a major issue and expect to hear what each candidate has to say about it and where they stand as far as impacting the situation in a positive way.
Mitt Romney did his acceptance speech and in the almost 45 minutes, he didn't find a moment to mention Afghanistan one time. Obama and his campaign manager Jim Messina, spent much of their Friday night highlighting what they call an important omission on his speech Thursday night. Jim Messina said in a statement that he sent to reporters just after midnight, "with no new plans and evasion about his real plans, Mitt Romney leaves this convention no stronger than he came."
I feel that if Mitt Romney is going to be our President and we have troops over in Afghanistan right now, he should have taken at the least five minutes out out of his forty-five 45 minute speech to discuss this topic. However, I don't think it's a big issue to me because I don't know anyone in Afghanistan so I'm not that interested in each candidates views on the war in Afghanistan. Then again, I can completely understand why someone else would see this as a big issue.
