What on earth is the point of Romney visiting the UK ? the British military will not be taking part in any invasion of Iran that Romney has on his wish list.
UK conservatives are far closer to US Democrats than to any US conservatives, and after bush the UK is wary of any GOP type who beats his chest while saying Iran will never get Nukes.

Romney wants to do an interview with the NBC in London, why not the BBC with Paxman in the chair, unlike US interviewers UK ones treat politicians as the hired help( which they are ) not as royalty as in the USA.
Paxman putting Romney on the grill about Swiss bank accounts would be fun to watch.

Default Delusional

The goon is trying to give the impression that he's Presidential material. Traveling internationally in that unsuitable role is about as unbecoming on him as a full-blown afro.

The Olympic Games will be going on in London and several foriegn leaders are likely to be at the opening ceremony - call it a networking pow-wow. Also Mitt was the leader of the Salt Lake Olympic committee and the Games give him a chance to highlight his leadership prowess.

The real question is why is Michelle Obama going to the UK?

And, of course, you felt the same way about candidate Obama traveling abroad in 2008?

Probably because he might run the country and they're a big ally?

Why did Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge visit the US? They are not the sovereigns and they have no ties to the US

They were on their honeymoon in Canada doing their first Royal Tour and at the end went to L.A. to hang out with with Celebs and have some fun before flying back to the U.K.
