In London, Romney faces an Olympic marathon of errors

[maddezmom]

A brief foreign tour is usually supposed to help U.S. presidential candidates bolster their foreign-policy credentials and show off their diplomatic skills.

But then there's Mitt Romney.

The presumed Republican candidate arrived in London Wednesday on the first stop of a three-country tour. His plan was simple: Make a round of high-profile visits, including meeting British Prime Minister David Cameron, raise some money at a fundraising dinner, and attend Friday’s opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympic Games.

But instead of some glad-handing photo ops and pleasantries with politicians, Mr. Romney spent his first full day in London backtracking.

4. It's like the Onion only real. I love what Cameron said

“We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere.”
