...slams Romney over "Olympics" comments:

Don't know if any of you saw this - sorry - no video clip available for it...

Interestingly enough I found this article:

Piers Morgan Defends Romney’s Olympics Comments: ‘He Was Just Speaking The Truth’

...Morgan was asked about Romney’s comments to NBC where he wondered if London was up to the security challenges that the Olympics will pose. The comments drew sharp criticism from some members of the British press corps. But Morgan shocked when he defended Romney’s comments saying that the presumptive Republican nominee was “absolutely right” to question whether the U.K. was ready for the Olympics...

Oh - well - insults, insults... remember when President Obama presented the Queen with an ipod?!

They say this is the list of Obama's UK blunders:

1. Siding with Argentina over the Falklands
2. Calling France America’s strongest ally
3. Downgrading the Special Relationship
4. Supporting a federal Europe and undercutting British sovereignty
5. Betraying Britain to appease Moscow over the New START Treaty
6. Placing a “boot on the throat” of BP
7. Throwing Churchill out of the Oval Office
8. DVDs for the Prime Minister
9. Insulting words from the State Department
10. Undermining British influence in NATO

Britain Learns To Love Its Olympics - Thanks To Mitt Romney

7-27- 2012 / Oliver Tree

A funny thing happened yesterday. After six years of Olympic-sized complaining, the British suddenly learned how to stop worrying and love the games. And all it took was one gaffe-prone American and his rather large mouth.

Mitt Romney, on his first foreign outing as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, managed to do something games organizers, David Cameron and £9 billion ($14 billion) in public money has so far failed to achieve: unite Britain...

"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."

And, sin of sins, he even questioned the British resolve to stage the greatest show on Earth. "Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? That's something which we only find out once the games actually begin," he added.

Well done, Mitt. You simultaneously managed to offend and unite an entire nation...

Mitt has done Britain a great service. After months of negative headlines, doubts about the benefit of the games and, in the last couple of weeks, a growing shambles surrounding the security situation, Romney has managed to pull politician and subject alike under the Olympic banner...
