Mittens didn't say what the headline says he said. He seemed to be saying enabling dictators in the past has made the transition more dangerous, because of all the pent up steam as it were. However, Mittens is not very good at weaving his message in a coherent way so that you know exactly what his point is sometimes, and this is one example.
Good thing he won't need those communication skills in the White House!
I heard it word for word, and while Romney didn't verbatim say "The Arab Spring is Obama's fault", you'd have to be in the realm of the desperately hopeful to not realise what he was saying. "Obama didn't continue the Bush Arab democracy project (I assume he means besides Iraq)... those states didn't reform... revolution happened and people died"... which is not only intellectually dishonest but blatantly dangerous.
