Several article commentators criticized the newspaper for this article.
Look at this one using Romney’s actual quote which frankly isn’t that bad:
“Here’s the actual quote:
“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting: the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”
Considering that this paper has castigated the UK government for these exact same things, it’s hardly anything to get one’s knickers in a twist over when a former Olympic organizer also makes the same point.
Of course, since he’s the presumptive Republican candidate for US president, I suppose the Graun will easily overlook their own hypocrisy.”
Now he’s being called a racist here in the US!
I sure do wish Romney had asked Newt to go to Europe instead.
Thanks for this REALITY check:

The Brits spent 7 YEARS planning the Olympics on their soggy sod, and in the final weeks their own Parliment publically rips the planners for poor security planning.
Looks like Romney called ‘em as he saw ‘em! Good job Mitt!
The fact that NBC and the Brits got upset means that Mitt hit the nail on the head!
