Aw jees, Mitt: Romney's first foreign policy foray a disaster

Rick Moran "I suppose I could spin it and say it really wasn't that bad, and that the British press exaggerates everything. Both points are valid. Romney didn't say anyting fatal, nor does anyone imagine the tabloid editors in England as anything but gutter merchants.
"But face it: Romney stunk. And he made no friends over there despite the opportunity to shine in contrast to the president."

Olympian Carl Lewis spoke to the UK Guardian  "Seriously, some Americans just shouldn't leave the country," the nine-times Olympic gold medal winner told the Independent."


UK Guardian; Mitt Romney's London Olympic 'shambles' seized upon by Democrats
My only consolation is that the Guardian is a paper that carries columns by Noam Chomsky .
UK Mail; 'London IS ready': Romney completes humiliating u-turn in new UK charm offensive after Olympics gaffe  "He had been branded ‘Mitt the Twit’ and ‘Party Pooper’ by the British press for a string of gaffes in which he said The Games would be a failure.
"The blunder was compounded because he made them whilst on a visit to London, his first foreign trip as a presidential candidate."
