The media is leading Romney around by the nose now. Imagine how it will be once he's in office. Every week will find him catering to some liberal position-- higher taxes, Obamacare, abortion, homosexual marriage, corporate bailouts, you name it.

Sorry GOP-- we tried to warn you what happens when you pick up a rattlesnake that says it won't bite you.

"Here's what the networks said pre-Romney. On the July 24 "Good Morning America," ABC reporter Nick Schifrin lamented "an absolute fiasco with the private guards who were supposed to be doing this. Police tell ABC News they're worried those private security guards are not adequately trained." That same night, CBS featured an unidentified British man complaining the transportation system was "going to be a bit of a fiasco. And people are going to get stranded."

On the July 17 "NBC Nightly News," Brian Williams warned, "Ten days to go now until the Olympic games get underway in London, and today, the man whose company was hired to provide security at all the Olympic venues admitted his company screwed up." A member of Parliament told NBC it was a "humiliating shambles for the company."

But the same Brian Williams sat down with Romney on July 25 and asked, "And in the short time you've been here in London, do they look ready to your experienced eye?" Romney calmly replied it was hard to know: "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." In other words, almost exactly what Williams reported the week before. He then went on to praise the "great volunteers here." But nobody heard that part of the sound bite."

• Half of women's doubles badminton bracket expelled for throwing matches
• German dignitary caught saluting Hitler-style; IOC bans video from YouTube

Obama was presented by the media as "beyond successful" on a daily basis in 2008 ...

Absolutely ... they were kissing his feet. He walked on water. He was their savior.

I been watching Dems gleefully commenting on Romney's offshore ‘mistakes’. For the most part I haven't seen much of any substance to these criticisms.

I see that Dems are impressed with the British media and the Palestinians opinions. I guess the MSM can convince some voters that those two groups matter for something.

Yes, yes, the media is ridiculing Romney just as they used to do to Reagan. The socialists are already in full panic mode several months out from the elections...

Free beer and food helped Zer0 draw in those 200,000 Germans.
