"Romney started things off by criticizing London’s preparedness for the Olympics. He then forgot the name of British Labour Leader Ed Miliband, and then he admitted that he had been given a secret briefing by MI6.
That special relationship is being put in jeopardy by a Republican nominee who can’t stop insulting the British people while making an ass out of himself. Instead of proving that he is Commander in Chief material, Romney is justifying John McCain’s 2008 selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate."
In all serious... Mitt is a dumbass for going over there and saying stupid pencikneck comments to the Brits on the eve of the Olympics. Shows the tact and judgment of a middle schooler and definitely makes me wonder about him.
I couldn't care less what leaders of other nations say about us.
My point was this.....he didn't say anything negative. He told the truth about what he observed. We're not used to truth.
Well it appears that he must had some kind of obstruction in his eye during his observation because he's backpeddling now. Or would that be because he realized he opened his mouth first and then thought about what he said?
Of course the British would take offense to his comment, and rightfully so. No different than the Mayor of Utah stricking back because they took offense by a speaker referring to Salt Lake City as being "in the middle of nowhere". He has Romney to thank for that.

Olympics: Mitt Romney seeks to play down London 2012 comments
Mitt Romney, the United States presidential candidate, has attempted to sooth cross-Atlantic tensions after questioning whether London could put on a successful Olympics.
Mr Cameron delivered beforehand when to comment on Mr Romney’s concerns about the capital’s preparedness for the Games.
He point out that the 2012 Olympics were taking place in a busy city rather than “the middle of nowhere” – a remark was widely seen as a reference to the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, which Mr Romney was in charge of organising.
Well, when crap like this happens days before the Olympics starts, how do you characterize their "preparedness for the Games"?
British officials called up an additional 1,200 soldiers today to try and fix what they called a security "fiasco" with G4S, the private security firm tasked to secure the 2012 Olympic Games, but British security officials tell ABC News even though they are finally getting the number of guards they need, they are still not confident in the training that G4S guards received or the security they can provide.
Funny how this alleged love of politicians telling the truth goes missing when Obama admits the US has made mistakes, eh?
And anyone who tries to assert the US hasn't made mistakes is woefully ignorant of history.
And anyone that doesn't realize that there are a ton of other countries that have made many, many more mistakes than America is woefully ignorant of history. Let's compare the mistakes made by Obama's favorites, Russia, China, The entire ME, etc. to those of the US.
