The first story on ABC’s World “News” Tonight was about Romney offending the over-sensitive Brits by saying “They’re Not Ready.” The British had a hissy fit and so did ABC. Who cares.
We are not over sensitive, irked a bit, but not quite crying yet.
Sorry, but if our PM did what he did, Americans would consider it rude and pompous, another Limey/Euro bashing America. It is simply rude to arrive in the UK (or any country) and criticise a host and even the British people as he did. Romney wasnt offensive per se, just came across as a touch arrogant and patronising.
And given the debacle of 1996, any American would be well advised to keep Olympic doubts quiet......
If Romney has doubts, he should have kept them to himself. He btw also managed to publicly mention a secret MI6 meeting he had, couldnt remember the name of the Labour leader and used the word backside (which is British for bottom) to describe Downing Street.
Not good form I am afraid. I want Romney to win, but he hs looked like a bumbling novice this week.
