the State run media seems to care very much, treating it as a grave offense, speaking in solemn, gutteral tones about it.

Does anyone going to read a post with no content and a grammatically indecipherable title?

If the british were not offended when Obama gave them back the bust of Churchill or when he gave the Queen an iPad with his speaches on it, then they should not find what Romney said offensive at all.

As I understand it, the Brits had a private firm signed up to provide security. At the last minute they find that said firm can only provide 1/2 of the personnel required.

Romney has apparently noted this and expressed his concern. That concern is valid.

Good for him. The Brits screwed up and are scrambling to fill the gap with military/law enforcement personnel. That may work out. And it might not. And the stakes are high.

So is this a gaffe? I don’t think so.

Are the Brits upset? Of course. Nobody like to have their problems pointed out to them.

The Licking Spoon thinks Romney is offending the British?

What about Michelle? She slapped Queen Elizabeth on the back, didn’t wear hosiery and wore a sundress and open toed shoes when she met with the Queen.

Obviously she didn’t get invited to The wedding.

Obammy gave an ipod of his own speeches to the Queen and thinks he’s such a swell douchebag.

The women’s football match between North Korea and Colombia was delayed by an hour after the Asian side refused to play when the flag of bitter enemies South Korea was displayed next to the names of their players on the stadium’s big screen.

oops

He knows grammar. But as with many of us in this medium we sometimes change what we are going to say after we have begun. And this can result is some strange constructions.

I am guessing he originally meant to say: "Does anyone really care that Romney Offended the British?"

But then he decided to change it to "[is] going to" in order to clearly establish futurity.

yeah, like that wasn't the mother of all offense, esp. to the Brits! "Here! I brought you some stuff I said!"
