"Look at how Romney was received. In Israel, its popular prime minister lavished on him a welcome so warm as to be a near-endorsement. In Poland, Romney received an actual endorsement from Lech Walesa, former dissident, former president, Cold War giant, Polish hero. Yet the headlines were “shove it” and “culture.”

"Scorecard? Romney’s trip was a major substantive success: one gaffe (Britain), two triumphs (Israel and Poland) and a fine demonstration of foreign policy fluency and command — wrapped, however, in a media narrative of surpassing triviality."

--- Charles Krauthammer

Thank you Mr. Krauthammer for some balance in reporting!

He was received well in Israel. A country and prime minister (and ally) constantly snubbed by O.

He was received well in Poland (another ally) and welcomed by Walesa. If my memory serves, Walesa and O have been on a giant “I hate you...no I hate you more” snub fest for the last couple of years.

The media could do no less than spin this for O. It is their shameful job.

I don’t always agree with Krauthammer, but he did a good job.
