Good morning. I hope you are doing well.

What were the gaffes that Romney committed on his trip?

This is an open forum question to anyone who has the answers.

Thanks in advance.

It’s because nothing good can come of it. If he’s learning to freeze out the press, like Sarah demonstrated last summer, you make them desperate to get something from you. If you play nice, they’ll cut your throat anyway, so you have nothing to lose.

I think a pol has to differentiate his brand. I’m not sure if R understands that. He still seems undifferentiated to a lot of people.

What if his conversion to conservatism is real? A hel of a lot of people reach a point in their lives when they realize liberalism is not working, has never worked, and that they have an obligation to try to clean up some of the mess they made when they were proponents.

"although he managed to garner support from Israel's right-wing prime minister and an eccentric former leader in Poland. (Our allies in the United Kingdom may never want to hear from him again.)"

Bullscat! - This is just more media CYA for O'Bozo.

He built the foundation for good relations and respect at high levels with the UK when he said he would reverse Obama's policy and would re-install Churchill's bust in the White House. The Brit lefties would have no love for him no matter what he said or did so that is a moot point.

He won the respect of every pro-Israel voter when he said he would stop the idiotic Obama Kabuki Theater about Israel's capital and would recognize Jerusalem as their capital.

As far as Poland - Lech Walesa probably has more worldwide respect than the entire Obama administration rolled into one. No wonder the author glossed over his support for Romney.

And speaking of a lack of civility:

Contempt toward the press is an important aspect of this attitude.

Will they get the message? And how will they take it? Probably offensively, but reflectively if he was a Dem.

For most of the campaign so far, Romney has pursued a media strategy that has become increasingly typical of Republican presidential candidates: Speak with Fox News, and avoid the rest of the national press corps. That is because Fox journalists (an oxymoron?) are far less likely to ask questions that the candidate doesn't wish to answer...

Or is a stupid attempt at "gotcha". Nowhere does this fool of a "reporter" say anything about why Repubs try to ignore the lamestream media and talk, pretty much, to FOX: the "news" media treat Repubs with skepticism and Dems fawningly.

I think that someone must have told Øbozo to knock that kiddie crap off....I haven’t seen him flip the bird in a while now.

So, Mitt's traveling press secretary told a disrespectful press to kiss his ass and that makes Mitt a terrible potential President but Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren thinks it's okay to force women to have abortions and that has nothing to do with Obama?

The writer is grasping. The USA loved it! Those remarks were a gift to American voters.
