So Romney was right about the Olympic Preparations

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


I asked you for a link to the Romney quote where he says that Britain wasn't ready. Not that he questions their readiness.

To the exact quote that Britain wasn't ready.
 
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?
"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," he told NBC News.

"Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? And that's something which we only find out once the games actually begin," he said.

Mitt Romney Walks Back London Olympics Criticism (UPDATE)

see the problem with your OP is you're not being honest and telling only half the story...Well more like 1/4 of the story.
Thats the problem with trash like you. You are as partisan as you are stupid and you are only hurting things, not helping.

Anyone with half a brain who watched the evolution of mittens on this one issue knows he back pedaled when pressed.this isnt even an important issue and he folded.
 
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.

maybe he actually learned his mistake in london, maybe he knows that jewish people will watch him closely back here.

so before he got there he questioned if they where ready right? Or this not literal enough for you trash.

People in England had been complaining about it for months. Romney has security of his own...so he'd know.

Peirs Morgan has defended Romney as being correct.

What is your issue ?

So: Romney learns from mistakes...does not repeat them.

But: Obama learns how to make same mistakes time and time again...only bigger.

Hhhhmmmmm
 
In London, democrats were ready to pounce no matter what Romney said, including calling him an idiot that couldn't recognize that London was indeed not ready and had made woeful preparations.

In Israel the democrats already hate Jews and side with the Iranians. No doubt the speech Romney gave will be dissected for anti muslim bias.

not very bright huh?

how stupid are you people. He questioned if they where ready, and then after the PM took him to task he back pedaled and stated London was ready.

There is actual fucking video and you morons want to try to say it didnt happen.

I hate internet trash.
 
heh heh Yeah, because the whole world is against Romney.

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 :lol: 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?

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.
You say that like the asshole in the White House right now has tact.

No. Tact for a US President does NOT include returning to Great Britain the bust of Winston Churchill...THE man standing against loss of freedom to Nazi Germany.

What Romney said was constructive criticism...too little...too late.

Romney's first act as our President should be to write a letter of apology to the Queen and the British people for the obvious snub of their great hero by his predecessor. He could offer a bit of excuse in pointing out that the little boy President that sent it back has a natural bent for the policies of famous Germans like Hitler and Marx.
 
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".

Seems you're missing the point. The security gaps were filled by bringing in troops BEFORE Romney questioned readiness. I don't believe he wasn't aware of those facts as he should have been aware of the fact that a strike by immigration officials had also been resolved. Oh wait...perhaps he wasn't aware. I forgot how poorly briefed some of your politicians are on events outside your borders.

You mean the bust that was on loan to George Bush?

Seriously, can't you guys stay on topic?
 
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".

Just shows what idiotic partisan hacks the left have become. Great op ed on this.

Media should consider mentioning that Romney was right about Olympic preps

Here’s a sampling of headlines regarding the botched preparations:

*”London Olympics security gaps mount as athletes arrive”: This story referred to the failures as an out-and-out “scandal.”

*”Olympic security chaos: depth of G4S security crisis revealed”: This story contains this line: “Guards told how, with 14 days to go until the Olympics opening ceremony, they had received no schedules, uniforms or training on x-ray machines.”

*”British Parliament Criticizes Olympic Security Preparations”: This story opens: “A British parliamentary committee report released Thursday says confidence in the London Olympics has been weakened by a private contractor’s failure to provide enough security guards.”

*”Olympic security scandal hits London”


Great links at the link I'll give you.

The Post captured the dynamic:

Olympics organizers have had to cope with a series of security blunders, including a disclosure that the private contractor hired to provide guards for the Games was 3,500 staff members short. The military scrambled to fill in the gap.

Still, the hosts did not seem to appreciate a foreign visitor reminding them about the problems.

Remarkable the extent to which the right doesn’t get it, but not surprising.
 
Fuck you and your racist bull shit.

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

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.

Trouble is, obamabots like yourself don't remember what racism is anymore. To you mindless animatons, disagreeing with obama, or even quoting him, is racist.

Nobody cares anymore. You all have taken the sting out of the label. Now, we only point it out when you use it because it's our way of telling that we've won the argument.

Keep up the good work there!

People like CrusaderFrank and WillowTree and others use terms like "Kenyan" and "not a real American" and "Socialist" and "Marxist" because they are too big of cowards to use the word they want to use. The N-word.

It's blatantly obvious and you defending them is pretty sad.
 
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.

Which makes him exceedingly well qualified to be the president who follows obama's mess.

You can't make this stuff up folks!

The comedy writes itself.

Ironically, your name is "Don't be stupid".
