Mitt Romney flies to UK, immediately starts insulting the country

[MorningInAmerica]

So Romney is asked a question about what he's thinks about how London is doing at hosting the Olympics, he answers honestly about security issues (which have been reported in the press anyway), and this is considered a gaffe? When did telling the truth become a gaffe? He led the 2002 Olympic games for goodness sake. I think he's qualified to answer a question on how it's going when asked. But this is an election year, and considering the economy is in the dumper, and the President has no record to run on, I imagine this is all the Democrats have left...well, this and dogs on the roof, bully-gate, tax-returns, war-on-women, etc, etc.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.

British coal production peaked in 1913.

Who cares. It's still Thatcherism.

liberal Piers Morgan

Do you know who Piers Morgan is?

Yeah, I know exactly who he is.

What makes you so sure of whether he is or isn't a liberal? Lets hear from all the Piers Morgan experts who are laughing or *dying* (dramatic much?) over my comment

[MorningInAmerica]

Dude, you read some terrible websites.

Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing all the fun over at dailykos, dude.

[MorningInAmerica]

Have you been following the Leveson Inquiry at all?

Yes, I'm aware of the phone hacking scandal, and am aware of Morgan's alleged involvement in it. Am I following it? Not in particular. But what does his listening to Paul McCartney's phone messages have to do with his ideology? Links or anything pointing to Morgan's right-wing bias would be great.

What kind of idiot reads Newsmax?

True mark of an "idiot." Criticize the source, not the content.

Is this man REALLY a potential President? Really? Boris is stupid at best, but come on, be cool.

Ha! Hysterical coming from the guy with a PIC of Millibrand and Hollande sauce in his sig line.

Miliband and Hollande don't make habits of insulting their hosts. In most premodern societies, Romney's behavior in Britain would have gotten him expelled from the country at best.

So Obama should be expelled from Pennsylvania for portraying them as people who cling to their guns and their bibles? Whether or not it's true, he said it in a negative way.

He was asked a QUESTION. And he didn't lie. If that get's him persecuted, so be it. This is no where near "you didn't build that", as evidenced by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Z0yK5NakN2o

After Romney's cookiegate flap in PA, I eagerly await his comments about British food. 

Aren't Brits notorious for their terrible food?

[MorningInAmerica]

Why would someone want to know Obama's grades? And how is he going to great lengths to hide them?

Not sure the fuss over the college/grad school documents is about his grades. For the Republicans pushing this (Breitbart), it's more about exposing Obama's past socialism. That and the fact that his campaign made such a huge deal out of transparency. You know, a "new kind of politics." Republicans would much rather hear about Obama's college thesis than his grades (though he's admitted in his own book that his grades were poor at times).

Remember Michelle's thesis that was "temporarily withdrawn"?

Wonder if the First Lady still feels like she's just on the periphery

FWIW, I'm mildly interested in the President's college records, though I think anytime Romney spends on it would be silly. All Romney has to do is focus on the economy like a laser.

What's your point? American have a reputation for being fat, I wouldn't expect the American government or public react well to foreign visiting politician going out of the way to mention it.

As for the how terrible English cuisine are or aren't , it's a as much a truth as the American reputation for being fat. As most Americans don't weight 300 pound, in the same way English cuisine aren't inedible or especially terrible (some dishes excepted). Of course Americans are fatter on average than most other countries, inthe same way much of the traditional English cuisine was destroyed when UK turned into a industrial society and people needed mass produced food which could be made fast (in short food with lot of fats, grease and oils), while they ones who could afford more expensive food ate French food because of its higher prestige. This also happen elsewhere, but it hit England harder, because the industrialisation started earlier there and was most extreme there, so when the rediscovery of traditional cuisine began, they had simply forgotten more of it and the good cuisine they did have, had fancy French names and as such wasn't seen as English.

Wow. Struck a nerve?

Well thank you so very much for the enlightening.

You know, no one cared that Laura Bush killed her boyfriend. Why would they care about this?

Link please?

Nevermind. Found it. http://www.bartcop.com/pickles-killer.htm

By the way , who proposed that people care about Michelle's thesis? I actually agree that they don't. But maybe they should.
