Entire premise of Romney’s foreign trip collapses.

[ProSense]

Premise:

<...>

This week, Romney is to attend the Olympic opening ceremonies in London and make stops in Israel and Poland. The trip offers him a platform to highlight his extensive travel as a salesman of American-centric beliefs, but it also serves as a reminder that the world has curved Romney’s trajectory.

Reality:

Entire premise of Romney’s foreign trip collapses.

Team Romney: Americans Don’t Care About Foreign Press

Evan McMorris-Santoro

Two of Mitt Romney’s top surrogates told reporters Thursday the Romney campaign’s not worried about the torrent of negative press surrounding Romney’s visit to London. Americans don’t care about foreign press, they said.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell — both rumored to be potential vice presidential choices for Romney — defended Romney from the embarrassing headlines in London on a press call set up by the Romney campaign.

Jindal and McDonnell were trying to highlight continuing efforts to turn President Obama’s out-of-context “you didn’t build that” quote into a Republican rallying cry.

They insisted the multiple Romney blunders in England won’t ultimately do any damage to his campaign.

1. This road trip is beginning to remind me of Spinal Tap!

Everything going horribly wrong and his handlers insisting that none of it matters. What's next, spontaneous combustion?

[arely staircase]

2. The Boston gig has been cancelled...

What?


Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's not a big college town.

18. The next gig is at a Holiday Inn lounge.

19. if i told them once, i told them a thousand times

- spinal tap first, puppet show second

9. He should take a side-trip to Stonehenge

"I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.That tended to understate the hugeness of the object."

5. Heck of a job, Mittens.

Yeah, that's going to play well in the foreign press - round 2 in 3... 2... 1...

[ananda]

6. Romney: What, the world isn't flat?

[abolugi]

8. The only ones

who wont hear about it are the Faux viewers. They will no doubt spin it that this trip was a great success...

[hifiguy]

10. Ya can't spell "Moroni"

without M-O-R-O-N.

[treestar]

11. So they are admitting it is a disaster, just hoping it won't get heard of here

[Scuba]

12. Jindal was also quoted as saying that Romney's sphincter tastes "gamey".

[ProSense]

13. Jindal, or as I like to call him:

Booby the Berm Building Butthead.

[Scuba]

14. You mean when he overrode the scientist he put on his oil spill commission...

... and then spent millions on sand berms that were already known to NOT WORK just for some political gains? Yeah, he's an ass.

[tanyev]

15. The thane from Bain has made the trip in vain.

[ProSense]

16. Stop!

[Fozzledick]

17. It's plain his gain's gone mainly down the drain.

[KharmaTrain]

20. People Are Paying Attention For All The Wrong Reasons...

Instead of Mittens being trumpted as a world leader, people are tuning in to see how badly he screws up. The Griswolds had a better day in England

Remember...Despite showing he's not ready for prime time there are still nearly 50 million people who will cast a ballot for this cad...the last thing Democrats can be are complacent!!

21. "Americans Don’t Care About Foreign Press "

So why did he go then?
