So Romney was right about the Olympic Preparations

[tinydancer]

Mitt was correct.

Brits need to apologize

No. Mitt should. You don't publicly criticize a friend.

He was specifically asked about the security preparations. How should he have answered?

Tactfully.

Not at all. The world does know Romney was right if understated.

Didn't you see the Der Spiegel hit piece on Britain over the Olympics? Man it was scathing.

Think about how insane it was that just before the opening it's discovered the security firm that was hired privately hired teenagers and were 3,500 personnel short while collecting millions of pounds for this fiasco.

You do know Cameron had to summon up the troops don't you?

Don't care if he was right about what he said. The fact that he said it wasn't right. He's running for president of the US, not the IOC.

These days I'm tired of candidates and politicians doing what is politically correct. I want a President who is right for a change. Good on Romney.

Notice we didn't need the Romney Context Filter to explain his comments either. It will be refreshing to have a real competent, effective true American back in the White House after Obama is send back to Kenya or wherever he's telling people he's from today

Fuck you and your racist bull shit.

And there we have it ladies and gentlemen, the race card.

 

[tinydancer]

Just so posters on this board know the scathing reviews in advance of this Olympics. Romney was understated. Match made in hell.

London 2012 A Preview of an Olympic-Sized Fiasco



Just part of the article from Der Spiegel

No Room for Problems

This time around, it's already clear that the London Olympics, which will run from July 27 to August 12, will be an arduous obstacle course for everyone.

Starting this week, the world's biggest financial center will be gripped by a special condition usually only seen in wartime. Its 7.8 million inhabitants are about to be joined by an average of 1 million additional visitors per day. The already overloaded public-transportation system will be burdened with an additional 3 million fares per day. A total of 175 kilometers (109 miles) of the city's streets will be closed off to normal traffic. Almost twice as many soldiers as Britain has in Afghanistan, a helicopter carrier and special forces units armed to the teeth will make the city look like it's under siege.

Dems are used to being lied to and having everything translated to them, so of course, Romney accurate and honest comment has thrown them for a loop.

And the Brits need to apologize to Romney

If someone's being racist, I'm going to call him on it. I'm tired of you guys cowardly tip-toeing.

Man the fuck up or shut the fuck up.

Not only did Romney make the correct call, but he assessed the situation quite quickly. As he has experience in running an olympics, that might be expected. Had it been Peter Uberroth, he could have torn them a new asshole telling them what they were doing wrong after rescuing the olympics in Los Angeles.

What the left is all in a tizzy about is that Mitt didn't lie. Now had he lied to be nice, they would have said he was a fool, and easily fooled because he didn't see the gaping holes in London's security. It's another democrat win win no matter what. The British press, which has been criticizing the plans for months, would have said that Romney would be the worst president in the world if he couldn't see that the British were royally screwing up. The headlines would be "Romney would run the US like the Brits run the olympics".

More than likely had the kenyan been asked the same question, he'd have conjured up some apology blaming America for their for their olympic security preparation screw ups, and the left would have frothed at the mouth swooning over how "DIPLOMATIC" he was...

More bull shit from the left on this story. Romney hit the nail on the head. I like that. Someone that isn't afraid to speak the truth. It will be a nice change to see him in the White House after this lying kenyan shit stain gets kicked to the curb in November.

Have it your way. Send obama back to Ireland.

Since he claims to be ancestrally Irish.

Romney true? That's laughable. He isn't even a "true" Christian... Since you hacks think money is the be all and end all of anyones worth he technically isn't even really an American. He has more "vested" in foreign countries than here. So REALLY he is just an AINO. American in name only.

 

[konradv]

Woohoo, Romney was right! Hardly the point, however. Will he be going to Israel and telling them they haven't been doing a good security job? There have been bombings. Political correctness is often in the eye of the beholder.

Coward.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Mitt has experience, he ran an Olympic before and quite successfully, he gave an honest answer based on his experience and the all of Obama's Neo-Marxists had a fit.

In the USA we have a guy with no experience at anything running the country into the dirt, why the fuck should we care if they're "offended"?

 

[DontBeStupid]

why the fuck should we care if they're "offended"?

Yeah, because friends and allies are totally over rated.

Racist idiot.

I hadn't realized it, but you may be one of the stupidest posters on USMB.

Mitt was asked a question, he answered honestly and he was correct

But still looks the fool, go figure!

You would think he looked foolish no matter how he answered it!! Admit it.............

"I don't think now is the time to discuss the specifics of security and preparation. I think now is the time when we should all come together in celebration of these games and all the hard-work the citizens of London have done."

Yeah, that would have been so hard to say.
