The headlines scream that Romney is questioning London's readiness but when you read the story it's no different than what they've been saying about the Olympics for the last month. Problems have arisen and Romney said earlier this month they are disconcerting.
Speaking to NBC News, he said: "It's hard to know just how well it will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting: the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging."
Moving on to whether Britain is backing the Games, he added: "Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? That's something which we only find out once the Games actually begin."
Olympics: Romney Questions UK's Readiness
If you read only the headline you'd think this was a big deal. Turns out it isn't.
However CNN is trying to make it look like a major tiff between the British Prime-minister and Mitt Romney. It is nothing of the sort.
Romney said that every Olympics has problems, but once the games start and the athletes begin to compete things tend to smooth out. If you didn't know better you'd think Romney and the Brits were fighting. That is if you're one of the few that still watches CNN. I was watching their coverage of it and wondering what in the hell was going on. So when I got home this evening I looked up Drudge, and even they made a big deal about it. Reading deeper into the story I see nothing about the Brits being pissed. Nothing.
Looks like Obama's slobbering media is trying to manufacture a controversy. Don't fall for it.
