Romney campaign in a mess; cancels FL event after stupid statement.

Whatever Romney's reaction, this attack happened on Obama's watch, not Romney's. And whatever happens with the political noise of this situation, it's not going to erase that fact.

True, but most people will understand that there isn't much that Obama could have done.

Romney's comments on the other hand could have be done different. But Romney is an amateur and he showed it.

Well, in itself it's not that big-a-deal. But it fits perfectly in the narrative that Romney will say and do everything to win and that he hasn't the character to be president.
