Mitt Romney's plan concerning the country's security focuses on "restoring the 3 foundations of American power"(Romney), through strong values, a strong economy, and a strong military. Romney believes that a "strong America is the best guarantor of peace and the best patron of liberty" (Romney). He plans to build back America's economy on "the principles of free enterprise, hard work and innovations, which will deter its rivals, reaasure its allies and strengthen its overall influence abroad" (Romney). Romney's national security plan also depends on having a strong military, because "military power is vital to the preservation of our own security and peace around the world" (Romney). With his military plan, Romney plans on reversing Obama's era-defense spending cuts.
Obama's homeland security plan is "committed to ensuring the U.S. is true to our values and ideals, while also protecting the American people" (Obama). In order to ensure our country's values, ideals and protection, Obama wants to prevent terrorist attacks, and other threats against our homeland, preparing and planning for emergencies and investing in strong response and recovery capabilities. His homeland security plan also includes: "strengthening our bio and nuclear security, improving intelligence capacity and information sharing, ensuring a secure global digital and information and communications infrastructure, comprehensive transborder security and promoting the resillency of our physical and social infrastructure" (Obama).
