Mitt Romney flies to UK, immediately starts insulting the country

I think a lot of this was merely the product of the notorious British press and not just that which concerns Romney. Cameron's words were apparently in response to a issue about subways and had nothing to do with Romney or Salt Lake City, according to CBS This Morning.

It was a mistake for Romney to answer as "an Olympics expert" rather than a Presidential candidate and as such some criticism is justified, but most of this is just unimportant, trivial nonesense.

Part of that article disagrees with what they said on CBS, again highlighting that some of this the rambunctiousness of the British press. In my opinion, most of this "coldness" is the result of the Conservatives reacting to the press as part of a political calculation so as to distance themselves from Romney's comments as they were sold and not as they actually were.

Beyond that the article is right when it points out that the Tories and the GOP have been moving away from each other at lightening speed this past decade on both foreign policy and on social issues. So it is not shocking for there to be sympathies for Obama, because on many fronts they are on the same page.
