Didn’t Romney chair an Olympics? He is qualified to comment on the current Olympics, as someone who’s been involved with them himself. He’s not doing it to pick on Britain. Obama is the guy who mailed Churchill’s bust back to Britan, not Romney.
This whole thing is stupid. It’s not some inflammatory international incident. This is media people picking this apart so they don’t have to think deeply about something else that actually matters.
Mild comments or not, he is a guest here and should respect his hosts. It came across as a touch rude and ill-mannered.
If he any doubts, keep em private, and keep his trap shut.
I’d be embarrassed if Cameron questioned American abilities in the US just before it held an Olympics.
