Krauthammer Slams Romney Over Olympics Comment: ‘Unbelievable,’ ‘Incomprehensible’

On Fox News earlier, Charles Krauthammer criticized Mitt Romney for his comments saying that all the problems facing the London Olympics feel “disconcerting.” Romney made the comment in an interview last night with Brian Williams. Krauthammer said that all Romney has to do is say nothing and come out of the trip looking better on U.S.-Britain relations than the president, and he messed up on the first day.

Regarding Prime Minister David Cameron‘s quip that you could easily hold the Olympics in “the middle of nowhere,” Krauthammer said he was clearly referring to Utah, the state where Romney helped run the Winter Olympics in 2002. He said that Romney’s comments on the London Olympics were “unbelievable,” “incomprehensible,” and “a lot of other adjectives.” Krauthammer said Romney shouldn’t be saying anything on his international trip, except for kind words about the countries he is visiting.

Krauthammer rattled off a list of reasons why President Obama has, in his opinion, damaged the special relationship between the two countries, and marveled at how Romney was already getting all sorts of heated criticism.


“All Romney has to do, say nothing. It’s like a guy in the 100-meter dash. All he has to do is to finish, he doen’t have to win. And instead, he tackles the guy in the lane next to him and ends up disqualified. I don’t get it.”

"The places on the trip England, Israel and Poland, all were treated roughly & badly by Obama.

All he had to do was show up and say wonderful things about his host..

Imply we are going to be strong allies...

And everybody in those countries and around the world will understand it's a REBUKE WITHOUT SAYING SO TO OBAMA who treated the Brits & the Poles & the Israelis pretty shabbily..

particularly the Brits 1. removed the bust of Churchill from Oval Office 2. State Dept spokesman who said no special relationship etc etc 3. the Queen 4. the gifts 5. Faulkland/Argentine.. should be on the side of the Brits... the list is long..

All Romney has to do is say nothing..."

All Romney's talking points.. parroted from Krauthammer and Fox News..


Weasels working against POTUS..

But the "tackles the guy in the lane next to him and ends up disqualified" line is pretty funny

''.....all Romney has to do is say nothing and come out of the trip looking better on U.S.-Britain relations than the president...''


Sorry Charlie, I know you think Mittens ''looks'' better. But Americans have evolved even if you haven't. After your last idiot-president, they realize that it's more important to have a President with brains.
