Romney follows up ‘Anglo-Saxon’ gaffe by disparaging Olympic readiness | The Raw Story

It was in an interview in London with NBC’s Brian Williams that Romney said that he found stories he was hearing about London’t readiness for the Olympic Games “disconcerting.”


“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out,” he said of the games and the lapses in security that have surrounded them, “There are a few things that were disconcerting. The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials — that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”

He also questioned British people’s willingness to embrace the Games.

“Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment?” he asked. “That’s something which we only find out once the Games actually begin.”

The BBC has pointed out that Romney appeared to not know Miliband’s name, instead calling him “Mr. Leader.”

UPDATE: British Prime Minister David Cameron has responded to Romney’s comments, saying in a press conference, “You’re going to see beyond doubt that Britain can deliver.”

Cameron hit back at Romney, saying that perhaps the Utah Winter Olympics were easier to assemble, given that they were not being staged in a metropolis like London.

“We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere.”

Cameron went on to say, “I think we will show the whole world not just that we come together as a United Kingdom but also we’re extremely good at welcoming people from across the world. I will obviously make those points to Mitt Romney. I look forward to meeting him.”

He's just an idiot that other like-minded idiots can rally behind under the umbrella of fundamental christianity and 'wholesome values'.

London Mayor Boris Johnson shamed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in front of a crowd of 100,000 people at the Olympic torch lighting on Thursday.

In an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams, Romney had offended Brits when he suggested that London wasn’t ready for the games.

“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out,” the candidate said. “There are a few things that were disconcerting. The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials — that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”

During the torch lighting ceremony the next day, the London mayor made a point of calling out Romney.

“There are some people coming from around the world who don’t yet know about all the preparations we’ve done to get London ready in the last seven years,” Johnson told the massive crowd in Hyde Park. “There’s a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we’re ready.”

“Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes, we are!”

Great diplomacy Mitt

Romney blunders again by revealing he's had (supposedly) top secret briefing by John Sawers, MI6 boss. Do we have a new Dubya on our hands?

Another verdict from one Romney meeting: 'Apparently devoid of charm, warmth, humour or sincerity' #romneyshambles

Fox News co-host: Romney has ‘the personality of a Ken doll’

ox News co-host Bob Beckel apologized on Thursday after he said that presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a “punk” who had the “personality of a Ken doll.”

During a segment on Fox News’ The Five, the Democrat found himself arguing with the four conservative co-hosts about whether Romney or President Barack Obama was more competent to manage the U.S. economy.

“Your point about Mitt Romney being competent on the economy is so far out of whack,” Beckel told co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle. “He hasn’t done anything. He’s a hedge fund operator who didn’t release his taxes and then had tax havens for people who didn’t want to pay U.S. taxes. The guy hasn’t — no, he hasn’t done anything.”

“Bob thinks that if he says that enough, the people might become brainwashed and actually believe it,” Guilfoyle replied. “Mitt Romney actually has a resume with considerable experience. … He is definitely crushing it against Obama.”

“You’ve turned the segment around to suit your needs,” co-host Eric Bolling told Beckel. “This segment was, ‘Is President Obama losing it?’ If he thinks the economy is working, is he losing it?”

“Why is the segment about Obama losing it?” Beckel asked. “Why don’t we run something on the show about Romney losing it? Why? Because we’re outnumbered. That’s why.”

“Romney is a Ken doll with all the personality of a Ken doll,” the liberal host added.

“Let me respond to that,” co-host Greg Gutfeld interrupted. “President Obama is popular. He’s like the good-looking, well-liked guy in the office who’s incompetent and nobody wants to fire him. I’d rather take the Ken doll who’s actually a business man. Yeah, he’s boring.”

“Romney has higher negatives than he does positives [in polls], simple as that,” Beckel shot back. “And there’s a good reason: because he’s a Ken doll with no thoughts and he’s a rich boy that inherited everything. … I’m in the business of trying to beat this punk.”

Following a commercial break, Beckel took a moment to apologize for the “punk” jab.

“I was not asked to say this,” Beckel insisted. “I called Romney a punk in the last segment. I got a little heated because I’m outnumbered four to one, but I take that back. I don’t think he’s a punk, in fact I think he’s a nice guy. I think he’s not very good to be President of the United States – as a matter of fact, I think he’s terrible.”

“That was not a good apology,” Guilfoyle opined.

Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson, asked if Romney welcome to light Olympic torch, says drily: 'Probably not after today' #mitthitsthefan

Romney also seemed to break the longstanding rule for U.S. politicians not to criticize the president overseas. At a fundraiser for American expats, he reportedly said, "I'm looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again," referring to the White House returning the artwork to the British Embassy in early 2009. President Barack Obama replaced it with a bust of Abraham Lincoln.

I thought this was going to be about Mitt telling Piers that he wants people to stop attacking his success: Romney in Piers Morgan interview: Stop attacking success – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

And I was considering not voting this election. I can only understand someone supporting this guy if they are really rich or Mormon.

Dividing America based on who has money and who hasn't – who is successful and who is less successful… That is not the American way.

Who the fukk is this guy? We ain't that gotdamn naive.
