Romney in Shambles as Britain Proclaims Him Worse than Sarah Palin
By: Jason EasleyJuly 26th, 2012
The British reaction to Mitt Romney has gone from openness, to skepticism, to mocking, to concluding that Mitt Romney is worse than Sarah Palin.
Daily Mail Political Editor James Chapman has been providing the world a play by play of Romney’s British implosion via his Twitter account. Romney started things off by criticizing London’s preparedness for the Olympics.He then forgot the name of British Labour Leader Ed Miliband, and then he admitted that he had been given a secret briefing by MI6. This led the British to ask aloud if they have another George W. Bush on their hands, “Romney blunders again by revealing he’s had (supposedly) top secret briefing by John Sawers, MI6 boss. Do we have a new Dubya on our hands?”
After his visit to Whitehall, Chapman offered two of the kinder reviews of Mitt Romney, “Serious dismay in Whitehall at Romney debut. ‘Worse than Sarah Palin.’ ‘Total car crash’. Two of the kinder verdicts.” Chapman also reported another verdict from British meet and greet with Mitt, “Another verdict from one Romney meeting: ‘Apparently devoid of charm, warmth, humour or sincerity’”
Getting compared to Sarah Palin is one thing, but being called worse than Palin is an indication of the epic display of fail that Romney is putting on in London.
If you thought things couldn’t possibly get worse for Mitt Romney, you were wrong. How does one top being unfavorably compared to Sarah Palin? If you’re Mitt Romney, you get mocked in front of 60,000 people.
The Telegraph is reporting that London Mayor Boris Johnson mocked Romney’s readiness comment, “Quite a moment from the Mayor of London Boris Johnson. Shortly after Rix had lit the flame he really went for it in Hyde Park. He referenced Mitt Romney’s ‘London isn’t ready’ quip and shot back in style. “Are we ready?” he called and the crowd went wild. There may even have been a hint of the Obama-friendly “Yes we can!” in there – he may have jumped into a winning scenario but I’ve not heard a politician get that reaction before.”
For their part, the White House rubbed salt in Romney’s wounds by pointing out that President Obama has full confidence in Britain’s ability to provide a secure Olympics. White House Spokesman Jay Carney said, “In keeping with our special relationship, the president also made it clear that he has the utmost confidence in our close friend and ally, the United Kingdom, as they finalize preparations to host the London Olympics.”
That special relationship is being put in jeopardy by a Republican nominee who can’t stop insulting the British people while making an ass out of himself. Instead of proving that he is Commander in Chief material, Romney is justifying John McCain’s 2008 selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. To think, that the Romney campaign actually agreed to foreign policy being the the topic of the third presidential debate.
The British opinion of Romney has gone from he might be another Bush to oh my God, he makes Sarah Palin seem prepared.
Not since World War II has London seen a bombing as thorough as Mitt Romney’s.
Romney Adviser Says Obama Doesn’t ‘Fully Appreciate’ Our ‘Anglo-Saxon Heritage’
By Judd Legum on Jul 24, 2012 at 9:57 pm
An adviser to Mitt Romney told a London paper that Obama has not been an effective partner for Britain because he doesn’t “fully appreciate” America’s “Anglo-Saxon heritage.” The racially tinged comments come hours before Romney lands in London for a series of high level meetings and the opening of the Olympic Games.
Jon Swaine of the Daily Telegraph has the story:
In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested that Mr Romney was better placed to understand the depth of ties between the two countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa.
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
The comments were the latest attack by the Romney campaign on Obama’s multi-cultural heritage. Last week, Romney campaign co-chair John Sununu said Obama didn’t understand the “American system” because he “spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia.” Sununu also said Obama needed to “learn how to be an American.” (Sununu later apologized for that remark.) Later that day Romney called Obama’s policies “extraordinarily foreign.”
Romney is denying the report: “‘It’s not true,’ said campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg. ‘If anyone said that, they weren’t reflecting the views of Governor Romney or anyone inside the campaign.’…Asked to be specific about what wasn’t true – whether the quote was fabricated or whether the sentiment was inaccurate – the campaign did not immediately respond.”
The reporter, Jon Swaine, says he talked to “a member of the foreign policy advisory team” for the Romney campaign.
The Daily Telegraph tells ThinkProgress it stands by the story.
“The Telegraph, which stands by the piece, told TPM that the paper has not received a request from the Romney campaign to retract or correct the story.”
In an interview with NBC News, Romney doesn’t dispute the accuracy of the Telegraph report, saying “I don’t agree with whoever that advisor might be.”
It would appear that Lyin Mitt’;s foreign policy is to open his mouth and offend everybody within ear shot of his stupidity. This is the same idiot who criticizes POTUS Obama for his so called “lack of foreign policy experience”.
Willard Lyin Mitt Romney is just plain stupid. If Lyin Mitt is the best the TeaTardedRepubliCANTS have to offer, the GOPretenders are fucked because:
Lyin Mitt Is UnFitt.

What is this business about “our Anglo-Saxon heritage”? As for Sarah Palin, she created a lot of problems for President Obama, but she had the excuse of not being well educated.
Lyin Mitt Is UnFitt
I agree. He has been making mistakes.
Mittens RMoney has been so off the boards, foreign policy-wise that I am amazed he is still standing. I also liked the image of the Polish crowd chanting “Obama! Obama!” in his face! That just sent me to bed last night with a smile on my face. It was a balm to the soul. He thinks he is going to be a shoo-in on the single issue of the economy…but that economy would be going strong if the Rethugs hadn’t acted as obstructionists to all the POTUS’s best ideas. Money talks but we are starting to out-shout it.
When people in Poland shout “Obama” in the face of Lyin Mitt, it proves no matter Lyin Mitts history of lyin and not being educated or skilled enough to be POTUS, he is just not liked abroad. Mitt Is UnFitt
I’ve got dibs on this one. great stuff. I can’t believe anyone still takes these guys seriously. It may be that we can all go home and take a nap. If this is the best the Republicans can field; the’ll briong their own party down without our help.
Well my Brotha, it seems this is precisely the best the GOPretenders have to offer. As a reader from Denmark said above, “Shame”.
