So Romney was right about the Olympic Preparations

[CrusaderFrank]

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

Yeah, because friends and allies are totally over rated.

Racist idiot.

Obama handed them back a gift, that's far far far worse than Mitt giving an honest accurate answer. Dems are the "The Check is in the Mail" Party, they lie about who they are, what they want, they lie about everything so of course they have a problem with an honest, correct answer

If a woman is overweight, and she knows it, and you know it, do you still walk up to her in the middle of a party and say it?

No.

True or not, Romney fucked up.

You can't get away with that bullshit and at least globally everyone knows this was just a smear campaign.

Romney was asked a specific question about the Olympics and frankly the horrific security concerns. He underplayed the situation to be truthful.

He used "disconcerting" vs "holy shit the private firm completely fucked up and the Prime Minister had to call in the UK troops at the last minute".

You know that's kind of a "biggie". Remember Munich?

So in the most diplomatic response humanely possible, Romney told the truth. This was a no win situation.

If Romney declined to comment headline would read...

ROMNEY EVASIVE

If Romney tried to make light of this hellish mess headline would read...

ROMNEY IS A FUCKING IDIOT TRYING TO SUCK UP TO CAMERON

There was no winning here diplomatically.

None.

The liberal turds are desperately trying to blow this up into a gaff because their messiah has been such a disaster in this area. Whenever a lib politician makes a mistake, his libturd apologists will try to find something his opponent did that they can bow up and say he did the same thing. It doesn't matter how tenuous, ridiculous or idiotic the comparison is. They will continue to insist that both incidents are the same. It's nothing but pure sleazy propaganda and the proof that libturds don't have a single scruple in their entire repitilian bodies.

 

[bripat9643]

heh heh Yeah, because the whole world is against Romney.

No, just the American media.

 

[Desperado]

We all know that Governor Romney was completely correct in his assessment of the Preps for the Games. Yet the left wingers and their media still insist this was a Romney "blunder".]

Of course he was correct about their preparations. It had been all over the British media before Romney made the call. Taking in Romney's experience with the Salt Lake City Games, he had an even better take on the situation. For once, a politician spoke the truth to the media.
The problem was in some people's eye is that he was not pc in doing so.

 

[bripat9643]

Don't care if he was right about what he said. . . . .

You would have been correct if you had stopped there.

 

[bripat9643]

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

There is some really stiff competition for that title.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

"In an interview with NBC News on Wednesday, Romney, who has campaigned on his experience running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, was asked if he thought London was "ready" for the games.

"You know, it's hard to know just how well it will turn out," Romney told NBC. "There are a few things that were disconcerting. The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials … that obviously is not something which is encouraging."

That's what the "American" Left has a problem with? LOL

I know and until recently I didn't think Huggy could compete but lately he's as moronic as fRANcoWtF or Rdeany

 

[Jackson]

Did you see all of the empty seats at some of the venues? And they were supposed to be "sold out." Evidently so many tickets were given to corporations and too late for the offices to use them. That led to people unable to get tickets to the events that wanted to go and were there to see them. Poor planning indeed.

I wasn't that it was "not pc" it was insulting. He publicly insulted our ally.

And you all are cheering him for it.

 

[Katzndogz]

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"?

Mitt did more than just run the olympics here. He had to come in and fix it after the people who were running it screwed it up.

Oh please after all the insulting obama did to all our allies! Telling the truth is the least of insults.

 

[tinydancer]

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.

What did he say that was horrid? He specifically was asked by Brian Williams to comment on the security preparations for the Brit Olympics.

What was he to say?

#1 Wow Brian the preparation has been awesome for security!!!! Honest. Just because the security firm that they hired completely fucked up Brian and the Prime Minister had to call up UK troops from all over to fill the gap of over 3,500 missing security personel doesn't mean everything isn't just wonderful and hunky dory here"

Tell me what you wanted him to say. More like that bullshit? Then you would have fucked over Romney for lying about it?

 

[Misty]

It's an embarrassment.

 

[Plasmaball]

Mitt was correct.

Brits need to apologize

for which part? when he said they where "not ready" or a day later when he said they "where ready"?

Thats the fun thing about this, and how stupid the OP looks. You have Mittens admitting on camera that security was ready. So was Mittens also wrong or was he right?

This is what happens when you back a jellyfish.

Link to exact quote where Romney said they weren't ready for the Olympics.

Exact quote.

Link?

Mitt Romney: 'London Is Ready'

"After being here a couple days, it looks to me like London is ready," Romney said on NBC's "Today." "And of course, it is hard to put on the games in a major metropolitan area. What they have done that I find so impressive is they took the venues and put them right in the city. You’re going to be on the back side of 10 Downing Street for beach volleyball."

awe.....the op can shut the fuck up now

You're missing the point. I don't think anyone is saying what Willard said was wrong or inaccurate. But that doesn't mean he was right to say it when he did

Presidents need to have tact.

Yeah, it was one of those freudian slips....

He points to things he sees as issues or weaknesses.

Obama says small business didn't build that.

What you learn when they go off script.

 

[tinydancer]

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

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

Tactfully.

How? Was Romney supposed to go there are no problems? Then you'd call him a liar and that he's sucking up to Britain.
