(KCEN) -- President Obama is in New York today.
He'll address the United Nations General Assembly, his last big international speech before November's election.
Aides say he will focus on the recent unrest in the Middle East and the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya.
Mitt Romney is criticizing him for calling these events "bumps in the road."
Romney said, "These are not bumps in the road, these are human lives. They are developments we do not want to see. Considering those events, either one of them or all of them, collectively as bumps in the road shows a person who has a very different perspective about world affairs and the perspective I have."
Today's UN speech will be the President's first international address since violence erupted across the Muslim world.
