Linda, I don't know if you are trying to make this into something the brits did when clearly its about Romney opening his big mouth trying to sound bigger and better then the brits regarding Olympic set up. Thats the probelm with this guy - he thinks he is better and above everyone. A little sensory and common sense would be nice if you are running to become POTUS. Great first step into foriegn affairs though buddy.

Mitt Romney is not a very intelligent man but typical of what the Republicans want for the office of president. A yes man that will do as the main bosses want. As Grover Norquist says...all they need is a Republican Senate, a Republican House, and someone to hold the pen. Meaning the president to him is immaterial as long as he controls him. Looks like Romney is the new village idiot to replace G W Bush.

Vote Democrat in 2012 if you value what you have today because Romney and the Republicans want to give the wealth more tax cuts and pass the burden of supporting the government on to the middle class workers.

• Obama 3
• Romney 0 (Mitt the Twit)

Oh mittens.. Obama has beat you twice, and because of your ineptness and "higher than thou" attitude, you gave him another victory.

LMAO Arthur66 can't handle the truth so he attacks the news source. Typical right wing response. The only way to not smear Romney is to not tell the truth.

MITT THE TWIT Headline!

CLASSIC!!!

Can't wait for this to be used in a political ad with the tagline "...and I approve of this message."

Larry, Romney's a Baker scholar and has both a JD & MBA degree from Harvard.

No, they won't react like Bill. They will have a pint and laugh.

I like the superPAc idea however. I live in Canada and what goes on in the USA impacts what happens here. That gives me a vested interest in American politics.

Can anyone clue me into my abilities to donate money to the party I feel is the less harmful of the two.

Arthur66 Please..The man opened his mouth in Britian and made himself look like a complete FOOL. That's not partisian politics, that's just plain and absolutely fact.

Long Live "Mitt the Twit" the Crown Prince of Outsouring American Jobs and Flip Flopping.

For Gods sake...

WHO CARES???

I wish we could go back to world where a politician could open his mouth and sneeze without making headlines.

I really don't think Romney was trying to insult the entire UK, maybe he was just trying to emphasize that this is the most difficult Olympics in history from a security point of view, and that no-one or nothing could be totally ready.

That being said, you gotta love how Flipper changed his mind the very next day. LMAFO

Arthur66

Larry, Romney's a Baker scholar and has both a JD & MBA degree from Harvard.

The best education that his daddy could buy for him. If only he had done it on his own without money paying someone else to do the work.

'Mitt the twit' indeed.

Romney is former chairperson of the Olympic games, (he saved the games from collapse a few years ago, by using his money and talent at no pay); the personnel attacks on both major candidates must stop, we are in the beginnings of a world wide depression, let us pick the best person for the job, of trying to dig out of a hell of a mess, brought on by both party's over many years.

This sounds like a reach to me. His comments were not in any way a gaff.

And given his experience running an Olympics, I'd say that makes him uniquely qualified to have an opinion.

The comments by the British on the other hand were quite insulting. Salt-Lake City = Middle of nowhere?

Obama doesn't mind if foreign leaders insult our country as long as it helps his campaign.

edit: double posted somehow even though I only clicked once.

Mitt tells the truth, echoing what the British press had been reporting on for weeks, and suddenly he's the bad guy. Hmm. I guess it's best to just lie. Sad world we live in.

Gotnorice

Obama doesn't mind if foreign leaders insult our country as long as it helps his campaign.

Why dont you post one reputable source in which Obama specifically states he doesn't mind if foreign leaders insult our country. Additionally, what specifically should OBAMA do in this case? Do we cut off all of our trade with the UK?

Romney (if he is any kind of a leader "IF"), should be able to accept constructive criticism.

mittens, with two strikes and no balls it's time to close out your account,say goodnite and head back to the dugout.

Willard only reacted to the headlines about the security gaffe the brits made...so what...who the cares...the brits have and will always be a bunch of nitwits. But the leftwing media is looking for anything in hopes that it will be a diversion from Barrys record as usual

i love how people say romney saved the games. he did so with a huge goverment bail out. the goverment stepped in and fixed the finances of the games after romeny registered as a lobbiest and lobbied for a goverment bailout

I wonder if Mitt will be sharing his favorite Polish jokes in Poland . . ?

i love how people say romney saved the games. he did so with a huge goverment bail out. the goverment stepped in and fixed the finances of the games after romeny registered as a lobbiest and lobbied for a goverment bailout

Mitt the twit is full of **it!

@gotnorice - so you want Obama to give David Cameron a call, tell him to knock off the insults, and pull Romney's chestnuts out of the fire? That's priceless! Romney said it, he can own it.

@arthur66 - a Baker scholar? So what? Clinton was a Rhodes scholar and Republicans still didn't like him. Besides, having good marks in school is no guarantee you won't be socially inept - ask any nerd about that. And after 8 years of a pi$$-poor US reputation that has taken a while to undo, we don't need to go back there, especially in the midst of a global economic crisis.

But the Brits should just relax - in a week or two, I'm sure Romney will be telling all of us "I never said that." Problem solved.

Funny thing is, The Daily Mail also tore him a new one, and thats a VERY conservative news tabloid. Its not political spin over there, its genuine disgust.

Romney didn't say anything that wasn't the truth, even the Brits had their doubts. It's just that he shouldn't have said it. As if Obama hasn't done his share of insuting the Brits. Sending back a Churchill bust, giving the Queen an IPad with his speeches on it and Michelle pats the Queen! How insulting! No class. What do you expect from a guy whose background is being a community organizer and race baiter. What a joke Obama is. Oh..... but what's important to you on the left is that he has a great personality and you want to have a beer with him. Like that's enough to make him a good leader.

WILLARD...is one real moron.. he makes our nation look like fools..glad he has no chance to be our leader!

News outlets have an unbelievably powerful effect on its readers. This has become an increasing phenomenon in the digital age.

Or maybe it's the other way around. News outlets just give their readers what they want to hear. Unfortunately, since modern-day America is so divisive and partisan, it is likely that truly neutral news agencies are becoming rarer.

I admit that Fox is extremely biased to the right, but make no mistake, NBC News is very much biased to the left. When was the last time you saw a headline putting the word 'gaffe' or 'mistake' in the same line as 'Obama'? Obama is far from perfect, and their is a long list of stupid remarks that he has made (along with everyone else in this world). Typically, NBC news only mentions Obama's mistakes after Obama defends himself, claiming the mistaken line was taken out of context or something.

Anyhow, this was a dumb line by Romney. Maybe he should follow Obama's lead and kiss everyone's ass on the foreign stage, rather than telling it as it actually is. Obama is all about 'hopes' and 'dreams' and 'optimism'. In reality, he has done nothing.

Romney is a business-man. He is very much a realist. Unfortunately, those types typically don't get far in politics. This story is an example of why that is so.

Just out of curiosity, why are high government officials of the United Kingdom, Israel and Poland meeting with a private citizen of the U.S., who is no more than a political candidate, and a not-formally-nominated one at that?

And what, pray tell, is a private citizen of the U.S. doing having a "private meeting" with anyone from MI6, let alone the head of the foreign intelligence service of another country?

It makes absolutely no sense to me that they are even granting Mr. Romney an audience.

Nobody made Mitt select the words he chose to express himself. Nothing has been done to edit the comment, the statement has been played and replayed in its exact context. He chose the words, he and only he is responsible for the message sent.

Diplomacy has a place in international as well as national politics and clearly, Mitt has no feel for the art.

It's actually illegal for foreigners to donate to American politics. That includes Super PACs, but since they are anonymous, we don't know if other countries are involved in making donations.

I love how the fawning, Obama-pompom-shaking media try to compare candidate Obama's trip four years ago to Romney's trip, saying how BamBam charmed absolutely everyone in Great Britain and didn't say or make any "gaffes." Considering that every word he said was probably carefully and minutely scripted, that's no surprise. Of course, BamBam could have shoved the Queen of England into a mud puddle and the press would have said he was being "playful." It's incredibly easier to run for office when the liberal media will laugh off or completely ignore your mistakes/gaffes/ignorance than it is to run for office with the media poised to pounce every time you sneeze.

This article is nothing but a poorly sourced, partisan smear against Romney in a weak attempt to divert attention from the anemic GDP growth in 2Q, 42 months of 8%+ unemployment and Obama's "you didn't build that" gaffe.

Does anyone remember this, or do they not care since it came from the mouth of the Messiah...

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility."

"I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir

Romney didn't say anything that has not been said before regarding the 2012 Games. He was not speaking as a politician, but as someone who put on a very successful Olympic Games. Who knows, perhaps his comments right before the start of the games will gel the people of the UK into overwhelming support of the Games.

What Romney said isn't much different than what the Brits have been saying right along. People being put out of their homes so they can be rented for thousands, complaining about security, 3500 more army troops for security, the list could go on. Wonder what they'll say if they fall on their stiff upper lips.

Mittster will jump back in his ol "mental wayback" machine and "retroactively" say he never said what he said, when he said what he said, about what he said when he said it!

Romney for a worse tomorrow today!

Vote Democratic party Obam/Biden 2012!!!! USAUSAUSAUSAUSA

This will only hurt Romney briefly. This will all be forgotten once Romney visits Israel.

What and who are you talking about? Plain english please. Im not to sharp ya know. I'm from England. Home of nude page 2 girls and bad teeth.

To our friends across the pond, don't worry a lot of us here think the same thing, while others know it but won't admit it.

No my post isn't partisan. This guy is an idiot. What a fool. Who the hell goes to another country trying to win them over and make comments like that? Geez. Like I said I don't drink any party specific kool aide but to those die hard Republican kool aide drinkers you may want to at least consider how much of that kool aide you are drinking. We wonder why the rest of the world laughs at us.

It is time

N-529260: He (Obama) has done nothing? In Response...

Give some sources when you argue.

sooner49er:

How can I give sources for doing nothing? That wasn't a very bright comment, think before you write...

Truth be told, he has accomplished somewhat. He has done a good job targeting Al Qaida (although he has furthered the causes of other hardline Muslims, such as the Brotherhood). He has also ensured that the economy didn't fall off a cliff (although that was mostly the work of Bush).

But fact is, how much better are we today than in 2009 when he took office? Economically (which I place the most importance on), we aren't any better. Economic data can be manipulated to show we are better off, but I really don't believe we are, or that we are on a course of improvement. Even if you think there are factors outside his control, ultimately, as POTUS, Obama must take responsibility for that.

It did not take the Brits long to peg Mitt the Twit.

What the hell is wrong with us in the USA that we didn't come up with that one?

Rod, A poor grasp of the English language? " Mitts bees da twits" (NY Times)

Mitt told them the truth, a truth which they themselves had been trumpeting but, coming from a foreigner, it was over the top. Hopefully the Brits will get their crap together and no one will be hurt but you do have to wonder about a 'security force' that doesn't show up, transportation unions going on strike at this time and missile defense units on top of apartment buildings. Let the games begin, indeed.

Romney is not polished, he isn't a very good politican at all. He needs to tell people what they want to hear, ooze charm over substance and then the people can rely on him, they'll know he's a 'leader' because he's 'likeable.'

I have to agree with N-529260, Obama has done nothing. Look at our climbing debt and unemployment.

"He's 'likeable'? What a strange quality for someone running for President. I'd rather have someone who is smart and knows how to be truthful.

@against union thievery - if someone told you that 2+2=5, and you later found out it was wasn't true, would you keep proclaiming that 2+2=5? I don't think so. So why do you and others keep repeating Obama stories that have been debunked? Don't you get embarrassed, repeating idiotic and untrue talking points? Here are some facts so you don't have to spread untruths any more (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt since I believe that anyone who learns that something isn't correct will stop repeating it. But I could be wrong.)

1. Obama and Churchill bust: the bust was on loan. It wasn't a gift. The Brits loaned it to Bush after the 9/11 attacks. He had it in the Oval office during his tenure. Obama didn't send it back out of the clear blue sky. He was asked if he wanted to keep it as a loan. He said no thanks since he wanted a bust of Abraham Lincoln in his Oval Office. I could see being upset if it was a gift - sending back a gift would be tacky. But that wasn't the case - he simply didn't extend the loan. Besides, I'll bet anything that if the Brits had made the original loan to Obama, people would be hopping up and down if he accepted, wondering why a bust of an American statesman wasn't good enough for him.

2. Obama did not give the Queen an iPod with his speeches. On their visit, the Obamas presented the Queen with a video iPod loaded with videos and photos of her previous 2007 visit to the US, and some American show tunes. The Queen's a big fan of Rogers and Hammerstein, hence the show tunes. Hence the other gift they gave her: a rare songbook signed by Richard Rogers. But you never hear about that part of the gift, do you? By the way, I found this on an Australian newspaper - I figured something outside the US might be a little more impartial.

3. Michelle didn't "pat the Queen." Snopes.com (which is pretty well researched) has this to say about that: "The Queen did embrace Michelle Obama on a subsequent meeting, though, an act that was considered a departure from appropriate protocol on the Queen's part. An eyewitness to that event said: 'There was a bit of a bottleneck as all of the leaders filed out so the Queen started chatting to Michelle Obama. She appeared to look up at her and make a comment about how tall she was. As she did, she put her arm around Mrs. Obama and rested her gloved hand on the small of her back. Almost simultaneously, Mrs. Obama put her arm around the Queen's shoulders rather more firmly. The pair then looked at their feet and appeared to be discussing their shoes. The Queen then dropped her arm and, a few seconds later, Michelle did the same. The entire exchange lasted around eight to ten seconds but was absolutely extraordinary.' This occurrence was noted as the first time in the 57 years of her reign that Elizabeth II had performed such a gesture."

So there are the facts that I could research quite easily. The next time, you can look things up yourself, assuming you'd like to save yourself the embarrassment of repeating that 2+2=5.

Mitt Romney is nothingmore than a bumbling embarrassment to our country. This man has no ethics of any kind and I for one am sick of his constant dishonesty. He has zero backbone and would be the laughing stock of the world if elected president.

How could anybody seriously vote for this man? He has not one iota of what it takes to be a real leader. Bush was embarrassing enough.

This is a non-story. I heard the whole clip, he complimented them first then expressed how there was some doubt, but they were doing quite well. This is always true of an Olympics. China had an air quality problem, Mitt had a money problem to overcome.

Or will they give money to an Obama SuperPAC in protest to Romeny?

Wishfully thinking but too nahib. NBC and the Obama PR is making a big deal about it for political gain. They knew they wasn't ready, but they are too arrogant to admit.You like most Obama worshipers only repeat the same , but they have not idea about what is the truth.

"London (CNN) -- With just days to go before the Olympic
Games open in London, questions over the provision of security guards for the
event are dominating the British media.

Thousands of team officials and
athletes are arriving this week, and throngs of visitors are expected to follow.
But should they be worried?

The security concerns were
triggered last week when it emerged that private security contractor G4S, which
was supposed to have provided 10,400 guards for the Olympics and Paralympics,
would not be able to deliver.

Its failure to recruit, train and
vet enough staff in time led the government to announce last week that it was
deploying an extra 3,500 troops to cover the shortfall.

G4S said it has only about 4,000
guards trained and ready, although it hopes to have 7,000 fully accredited by
the time the Games begin on July 27".

Mitt the Twit has a nice ring to it, now the Republicans will of course want to go to war with England, just joking no need to get your panties in a bunch. Well he sure looked Presidential didn't he, it's hard when you have to sit at the big boys table.

Tell you what, Romney apologists,

you stop making up falsehoods about Obama apologizing to furriners,

and we'll stop truthing about Romney insulting our biggest ally.

Seems like NBC was also expressing concerns about the games:

Up until a few days ago, we'd been expressing doubts of our own.

Troops everywhere, long lines and moans: A very British Olympic Games
'Pain in the neck': London's Olympic lanes befuddle, frustrate motorists
Fortress London: UK protects Olympics with biggest security plan since WWII

But you political hacks who rant on this forum take the opportunity to spew your verbal diarhea; typical of the libby lemmings feeding at the hindquarters of Prince Hussien Obama...

If the Brits had applauded his message would you all have been making derogatory remarks about his religion, intelligence, education, wife, etc?

Lets start focusing in what is real important, more 20 different headlines about the same news , in order to maintain people away from the failure of the Economist in Chief. As today economic growth is negative , we are going down to the cliff, but the media is giving more time to this kind of news, to distract the public and hide in the last page things that really matter but hurt the Obama reelection campaign. Lets go back to business, where are the jobs folks?

I wonder if Romney's concerns had anything to do all the security problems England has been having assuring the athlete's safety? Not an unreasonable concern when you read about all the issues they've had.

Now we know what Mitt's foreign policy really is. Piss of the rest of the world so we can go to war with them. He thinks he is better than everyone else and doesn't need to follow customs and protocol of other countries, now that's a real foreign policy.

@Lizzie from Boston.

Thank you for your research.I don't know if others appreciated it.But I'm a fan of the truth instead of propaganda.

Winker - Britain even admitted to having security problems so in my opinion, it showed care and concern for Romney to question the safety of the athletes. Looks like the media in other countries does a great job at causing chaos as well as they do here.

Uncle Bob and Lizzy - your playlist was partially right. You did leave off a few things. Not that it matters:

Uploaded onto the iPod:

* Photos from the Queen’s 2007 White House State Visit
* Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown, Va., Visit
* Photos from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond, Va., Visit
* Video from the Queen’s 1957 Jamestown Visit
* Video from the Queen’s 2007 Jamestown Visit
* Video from the Queen’s 2007 Richmond Visit
* Photos from President Obama’s Inauguration
* Audio of then-state senator Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and
* Audio of President Obama 2009 Inauguration Address

Is it a "gaffe" if you really believe it, and wish to make known that you believe it - you know, so that, just in case, you get "I told you so" dibs.

That's what diplomacy is all about, right - showing superiority over your friends?

Really? Romney's comments about the Olympics pissed off the WHOLE world and now we're going to war with them???

I think it's more your messiah who doesn't follow the customs and protocols of his own country.

You are absolute proof that liberalism is a mental disorder!

@Krissy519 - I found that while I was researching, too. It was on a number of right-wing sites. But I didn't include it because I found more sites debunking where you got that info. And as I said, the info I included was from an Australian newspaper since they don't have an ax to grind whereas any left- or right-wing US site certainly would. And, the info from the Australian paper was corroborated by Snopes.com - another site without an ax to grind. So I really don't think your info is accurate, any more than the original omission of videos, photos and show tunes was accurate.

Mittwit......who let his dumb a$$ loose over there in Britain? Isn't it bad enough we have to hear that clown here in the States? At least he's sticking to what he knows best......being an insufferable idiot! Oh well, at least Mr. Dumb and Mrs. Even More Dumb can look forward to their dressage horse winning a medal. The horse is smarter than the Romneys combined.

The art of being a good public speaker is to know your audience and to know your subject(s). That would include knowing the appropriate titles and names of people relevant to the subject at hand, having a concise, well thought out speech and a solid conclusion that wraps everything together in a nice, neat little package. Too bad Romney never learned this lesson. He may be good at acquiring money but his mind is a vast wasteland. On a personal note......thank you Mr. Eddy. All these years later, I haven't forgotten.

What is funny is that MSN said that the Olympics is where Romney was going to shine on this international tour. It was a soft ball, under hand pitched to him, and Mittens did what Romney does with those, swung so hard he misses completely. One Romney apologist above said that his experience running the Olympics gives him a unique perspective and he wanted to share it. Common sense says that you don't insult your biggest ally, enraging an entire country, while the whole point of your trip is to show off your foreign relations skills while running for POTUS.

What scares me is that this fool actually has a chance of getting elected. If this is Romney showing his foreign policy skills with friendly topics with our biggest ally, what happens when he has to negotiate serious matters with countries considered enemies, that are not so friendly? I will tell you. Its called the Iran war, and it is three time as expensive as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined and will cost the lives of way more American soldiers.

Golly, poor Mittens ....

The whole Olympics thing wasn't really his fault- I think it went down this way-

Mrs. Mittens was So excited about her horse going off to the Olympics that she forgot to tell the housekeeper to tell the downstairs maid to tell the upstairs maid to pack hubby's MAGIC UNDERWEAR for the interview.

So there he was, without his protective underwear, being FORCED to speak ad lib- all that stupidity just SPEWING out of his mouth, and no talisman to prevent it.

I guess with his offshore millions, the RNC didn't think they needed to take him shopping, as they did for Palin- boy, were they wrong, and now poor Mittens is suffering the consequences.

Memo to the RNC: BUY more magic underwear!!!!

Red Virginia, you are totally right. The economy is the main issue of this election and will be my #1 reason for voting for a candidate that has a plan to add 1 million jobs in the US. Considering the choice is between that plan, and his opponents plan which adds as many as 200, not 200,000 but 200 US jobs in his economic plan. Obamas Jobs act vs Ryans Keystone pipeline. Unless of course you live in a state where defense contracts make up a huge percentage of the workforce, like Virginia, it makes no sense to vote for Romney.

Keystone pipe line will only provide about 5,000 temporary short term jobs but could cause a long term water pollution problem. Yeah, we want less water! We want less water! Now there is a chant for election!

Oh for Pete's sakes, the Brits overreact to silliness just like our libs do here. From the Opening Ceremonies, it doesn't appear that the Brits ARE able to stage a worthy performance in these games!

Saxon, ROMNEY did not "save" the Salt Lake City Olympics. One of his much despised "government bail outs" did!

Larry, Romney's a Baker scholar and has both a JD & MBA degree from Harvard.

Classic case of an "Idiot Savant", someone who is a genius in one area and a fool in another. I have no doubts about Romney's business skill in making lots of money, even when he drives a business to bankruptcy. I also don't doubt Romney's legal skills in finding loopholes to cut his taxes and raid pension funds for his own profit. But when it comes to matters of Etiquette, Tact, and Diplomacy, well, that's where the "Idiot" part comes in.

Romney is former chairperson of the Olympic games, (he saved the games from collapse a few years ago, by using his money and talent at no pay)

Not any of his own money, he used Olympic funds to hire a lobbyest to get several hundred million dollars from the Federal Government. The Bush administration and a Congress dominated by fellow Republicans were all to happy to oblige, deficits be damned.

Just out of curiosity, why are high government officials of the United Kingdom, Israel and Poland meeting with a private citizen of the U.S., who is no more than a political candidate, and a not-formally-nominated one at that?

They're not restricted to meeting only other officials, there is nothing preventing them from meeting with any private citizen if they choose. The real question should be "why did they choose to meet with Romney?"

And what, pray tell, is a private citizen of the U.S. doing having a "private meeting" with anyone from MI6, let alone the head of the foreign intelligence service of another country?

Now that is a very good question. Doubtful that he had any espionage secrets to reveal, or any connections to the spy business. But maybe he was hoping they had something on Obama - if so, he was no doubt disappointed and had wasted his (and their) time.

Unlike your 'charming' flip-flopper, aka: Obama? We at least have an understanding that Romney has a religion, unlike Obama who seems to don the 'Christian' mantle when it suits his political agenda. So sorry, Obama is a fraud and as to being a clown, well better a clown than a fake, fraud and downright disasterous 'charming' inept who always needs 'excuses' for his actions. Blame Bush, ATM's, tsunamis and race and anything and everything for Obama's ineptitude and downright mendacity.

AreuTeaTarded? You are right on the dot, please let me rephrase or enhance your statement a little bit. It should be " MITT THE TWEET, THE MORONIC MORMONITE IDIOTIC CLOWN". I'll bet you will say it is more appropriate.

Wow. AreuTT and Plain&Simple - those are low class things to say. Shows a low level of intelligence.

I hope telling the truth about the brits not being prepared is teh only thing that can be said about Romney lol Man you know obama is in trouble if this gets all his little supporters so excited because this guy is teh incumbent nd has NOTHING To stand on lol except Romney tells the truth about the security in England wow. you obamam supporters really need to think about how stupid you all look over this which is a Non-story to begin with and was the truth secondly and most Amercians know it. lol You people are so worried because obama has noway to win this election, he has destroyed our country and now can only attack others hoping nobody will look at what he has done and plans to do more of.

Obama has no way that he can win re-election and you all know that, there is an undercurrent against him for what he has done that people are not even talking they are simply waiting to throw him out just like carter and they thought it was going to be close them too. This election will not even be close Romeny will WIN in major numbers. Thats is simply the truth say whatever you want but that is truth. Every poll shows them neck and neck and they are ALL at least 10-15 percent more dems in each poll and done by libs groupps and obama still cant win it lol, obama unemployed in Nov like the millions he has destroyed

I thought it was the uneducated that were Obama supporters? After all, he is supposed to pay their mortgage and buy their gas.

@mygirl1

I too have an understanding that the idiot has a religion. Have you ever delved into exactly what the Mormons believe? It ain't all about tracing one's ancestors and loving your fellow man. And if the fellow man happens to be black, well that's a whole other thing altogether as far as those Mormons are concerned. The actuall, truly believe that black people are marked by the curse of Cain. Can you believe that? Ohh, forgot for a moment to whom I was replying. Of course you can believe that. I'm not a big believer in organized religion and it is partially due to crap like what the Mormons believe (sacred underwear--for the life of me, I just don't know why Fruit of the Loom hasn't run with THAT.) So yeah, he has a religion alright. To some people Voodoo is a religion as well. The Moonies, remember them? Yep, another religion. Some would actually say that was a cult but, hey, it's all semantics. I say tomahto, you say tomayto. Seems like any old thing can be a religion. Doesn't make it right, does it?

I'm starting to think that the Mormon magic undergarment may have real power- Mittens's maid must have forgot to pack it for him before the interview- and look what happened- his inherent stupidity just JUMPED out- BAM- kinda like a demon, wouldn't you say?

Maybe he needs to practice polygamy, like his grandfather and the founder of Mormonism, in order to banish the "goofball" demons that even his sons say he is afflicted with....

That depends.. was he for it? ... or against it? .... before he was for it?

"BO stinks"

LMAO

... and my wife has a dancing horse that cost more than both Cadillacs, I'll betcha ten grand on that little palimino. (left my check book at home, drat it)

Not his problem. He needs to know when to just keep his big leardship mouth shut.

Next time Cameron comes to the US, let him tell us about some of our problems that need to be fixed: An dysfunctional health system, an overabundance of available guns, a sub-standard public school system. And lets see how Americans will react.

HAHAHAH,

Yeah, until he changed his mind and totally reversed his stance the very next day.

Vote "Flipper"

Well...Mr. Pander Pants Romney once again positioned himself on both sides of his issue. It is Mittsters "Can't Miss by being on Both Sides of every issue " strategy.

Certainly is missing with the voters , who see Mr. Pander Pants Romney saying anything, at anytime, for anybody!

Vote Obama/Biden 2012

Kevster it's considered bad manners to go into someone's house as a guest & insult them about their house. As someone wanting to be president & going on a trip to show his ability to manage foreign policy he just insulted one our our best allies.

starsailing, missing with or messing with? I will let you choose.

Exactly Bengal, Romney's Diplomacy 101gaff's:

(1) don't publicly insult the country you are visiting.

(2) rememebr the names of opposition leaders you are referring to. His name is not Mr Leader.

(3) when meeting with the UK secret service protocol tells you not to announce it publicly.

My understanding is that Mr. Romney was speaking with Brian Wiliams- not the BBC, or British media. Brian Williams, an American interviewer, asked him what he thought,

and Mr. Romney told him. So what? I should hope the British are lucid enough to realize that security is a major concern, no matter how well they've planned.

So, MCAmom, he would've said something different if it had been the BBC? He figures that Brit can't read American papers....., or if they do, it doesn't matter what he says to the American press ???

I guess you're right about Mitt's equivocation. He certainly didn't say anything quit so condescendingly snobbish to Piers Morgan, who at least sounds British.

a "True Leader" knows how to use Tact and Diplomacy, two things Romney lacks and cannot buy.

"Get over i!"

How clever.

That's the problem, he did say it our loud and offended an entire country (who happens to be our best and oldest ally). Duh!

It was another unforced error. Foreign policy requires a little tact. All Romney had to do on his photo-op tour is say that he loves England, London is beautiful, and the Olympics are going to be great. I am terrified by what he'll say in Poland and Israel.

I find it astounding that Romney had to lie about such a simple thing as not knowing when his wife's horse was going to be performing. Was he that afraid of seeming out of touch that he had to lie and act like he didn't care about his wife's horse? If he lies to easily about such minor things, I just wonder what else he lies about.

Everything! Romney just can't help himself. He doesn't know how to tell the truth.

Everything! Obama just can't help himself. He doesn't know how to tell the truth.

An American specialty! "A SWEEP for the Americans!"

USA! USA! USA!

I think we Italians would medal in the event.... not sure if we get the gold, but a silver or bronze for sure!

WilliamofRites,

Still waiting for the "Open mouth, insert foot" Olympic event.

are you saying this was just a practice? Not showing what we really have yet?

What a way to make an introduction, and too think this guy has the right acting like this is just another day in Paradise, guess their expectations are not that great. Now on the other hand OBAMA needs to get his Sh-t together because the right may not be too bright they have money, and if no one is watching they will STEAL the election, REMEMBER BUSH, it could happen again, can't trust those RIGHT WINGNUTS.

I could never support the Republicans in the state they are in. If they really went back to real values they once had I could here and there be one their side. As they are now I just can't. I was brought up with the idea that is you are good and right .. you don't have to lie and attack people.

Do I hate Mit Romney? No I don't. Am I scared of Mit Romney? No I am not. I think he's probably a decent guy. If he wins .. He will disappoint the far right. I looked at his record as governor. Romney-care says it all. He's not an evil man.

With all that said .. vote Obama Biden .. let's get to know Mit a bit better .. let's give the gop a chance to clean out their party and get the crazies out.

Mit isn't the scary one. It's the evangelicals in the gop.

Come'on, Romney and the entire GOP know this isn't a real election.

Romney is not "running for the presidency", the GOP is "running AWAY from the presidency."

Why else would they run the guy who lost the primary in the previous election???

Romney wanted the ticket to get national. He got the ticket, because NOBODY else wanted it.... Santorum? Bachman? Perry? Cain???

They would have had a better chance with nominating the Ghost of Reagan.

I think there is some truth in what you say. WE had the same thing happen here in Canada. The conservative Brian Mulroney admin left Canada in shreds. We even had the IMF eyeballing us. The Liberals swept to power and with much pain to all here .. fixed the problems. Now we have another conservative government that is spending like drunken sailors again.

Republicans know they can't fix the problems. Anyone that has ever studdied economics knows we can't turn on a dime here and change the system without crashing the whole system.

Republican tea people are looking for simple talking point solutions to complex problems.

Should Mit win .. he will be in the same position as Obama is now. He will have to do the same things as Obama.

The gop knows they have painted themselves into a corner. They need the Democrates to fix things ... so they can come back into power and resume the cream sucking.

Romney the strawman could not possibly win the election because of anything to do with leadership qualities or a good plan for the country. However, republicans have put in place the Citizens United plan whereupon foreigners can buy the republican candidate they want through off shore accounts and tricky ways of accounting. Republicans also are putting in place voter suppression laws preventing the elderly, the young, and the poor and middle class who cannot afford getting new ID or have no access to get ID because of republican constructed laws. In Pennsylvania repubs removed over 700,000 voters from voting because they now lack the ID to vote. Repubs in Penn. said mission accomplished, voter ID will give Romney the election.

So yes the strawman Romney is a "NOWHERE MAN" but beware of republicans rigging the elections once more.

Vote democratic party and Obama/Biden 2012

You know, I think these labels are killing us. All we need is one good man or woman. But here we are again with a choice of who sucks less. Who will unite this country?

Yeah, I am of Anglo-Saxon descent and I found Romknownothing's comment offensive. I am a proud citizen of the USA- a mixture of many cultures, races, ethnic groups, and ideas. I find Romney's rhetoric disgusting.

I am NOT living in Britain in AD 500, but I am sure that Romney wouldn't care if my fair skinned self (and most Americans) returned to that time- living in huts, producing more children than can be fed properly, starving if the crops fail, fearful of all strangers, and dying for lack of health care -as long as he could be "King."

As my people said when they came to America 400 years ago from England- "fcuk the King"

"You really wanna hang your entire campaign on a willful, out of context misunderstanding?" [Jon Stewart] asked the Mitt Romney campaign.

That pretty much sums it up.

They don't HAVE to dip their flags at the Queen, dipping the flag is a courtesy; she's head of state for the United Kingdom.

According t OUR LAWS dipping OUR flag would be illegal. I hope they DON'T do it but then again we have a president that bows, kisses rings and lord knows what else but...

If our laws still have any meaning what so ever ... we ought to walk on by...

ScorpionsFan - All fine and dandy, but nobody dipped their flag to the President of the United States the last time the Olympics was in this country?????

I thought he was a snake oil salesman.

Didn't we try the average, mediocre, nothing special, blue collar guy with George W. Bush? I want our leaders to be a lot smarter and better educated than I am.

Bush was another over educated dip shiiit.

And as far as smart goes there are a lot of well educated blue collar workers out there that know what we need in this country.

....and Jimee, you forgot to add that They Are Fair and Balanced...but the scales always seem to tip to the RIGHT.

You do know that the same could be said of the other side. Like Einstein said 'it's a matter of perspective.'

You forgot retarded as well.

Yeah Obama has made it clear it don't take travel to be a fool.

It's illegal for foreign corporations to donate, even to SuperPacs, but there is no way to monitor or enforce the laws. So enjoy.

He was only reacting to the brits mistake on security that they messed up...big deal IMO..but the media is grasping at straws on anything these days. But citizen it will get worse, I guarantee. Obamas truth brigade in Va. is what is coming next...if you disagree with Obama you are flat out racist as evidenced by a speech yesterday, he has to go after the black vote big time and the only to get it is pull the race card.

True, but you always have a friends back.
