So it appears the Olympic Games in London were very successful, contrary to Romney's "concerns"

Romney needs to apologize to the British people and to the mayor of London personally for his concern trolling. They knew what they were doing and they got it done.

They were under so much pressure right before the games started and in comes Romney's pompous ass with his concerns. Fuck him. They didn't need Romney to rain on their parade. That's why they were so pissed off at him.

I still can't believe this man had the nerve to go on foreign soil and insult the British people like that. They just showed his ass how its done.

Fuck you, Mitt.

while he can't rightly assess a situation (the Olympic Games) he claims to have a history for solving.

Generally I just don't get much excitement from the Olympics. I do for the individuals but the business part of it just turns me off.

I appreciate how awesome it would be for someone to make it to there, the excitement, the long hard road there, I get that.

And don't really like pomp and shit, circuses of breads and things. But I freakin loved it tonight. I indulged and indulged well and hardy. It was sooooo well done.

Annie Lennox was my peak interest (too bad the sound system for her was failing compared to others). I love ANNie, she is gawdess of all voice. And there were so many others, so well co-ordinated, so well presented.

just wow.

He's a lobbiest. That's his job. They're much like seagulls.

Swoop in. Crap on everything. Make a huge scene and distract everyone from what they were doing. Then flies away, to leave everyone else to clean up the broken system.

You know, a lobbyist.
