Mitt Romney would restore 'Anglo-Saxon' relations between Britain and America
The Telegraph ^ | 7/24/2012 | Jon Swaine, Washington

Mitt Romney would restore "Anglo-Saxon" understanding to the special relationship between the US and Britain, and return Sir Winston Churchill's bust to the White House.

As the Republican presidential challenger accused Barack Obama of appeasing America’s enemies in his first foreign policy speech of the election campaign, advisers told The Daily Telegraph that he would abandon Mr Obama’s “Left-wing” coolness towards London.

In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested Mr Romney was better placed to understand the ties between the 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.”

Mr Romney today embarks on an overseas tour of Britain, Israel and Poland designed to quash claims by Mr Obama’s team that he is a “novice” in foreign affairs. It comes four years after Mr Obama’s own landmark foreign tour, which attracted thousands of supporters.

He lands in London today in advance of meetings with David Cameron and other senior ministers tomorrow. He will also meet Ed Miliband and Tony Blair before attending two fund-raisers and the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

He used a speech last night in Nevada to accuse the USPresident of drastically weakening America’s stance towards rivals such as Russia, China and Iran while imposing “devastating” spending cuts on US forces.

If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I am not your president,” he told the Veterans of Foreign Wars

There are better ways to say what Romney’s advisor said.

Apperantly Mitt’s advisor is unaware of a rather significant movement for Scotland to gain independence from the United Kingdom. There is a vote in 2014 for that exact purpose. As a Scottish-American I’ve know about this for some time now..it has been a rather signficant debate in the UK for sometime now. All of the Celtic peoples in the UK are rethinking their relationship with England...but Scotland has moved from theoretical discussions to a serious movemnt to peacefully obtain her independence. Romney’s advisors need to be careful here...an independent Scotland will control a significant amount of oil in the North Sea, and they would seem to be very opposed to any nuclear warship presence in their ports.

Additionally, and likely more importantly on the domestic front, is the State-controlled media and the Obama Campaign will (and already is) going to spin “anglo-saxon” into a racial remark that will be a pain to have to endure. It was an effort to sound “smart” on the eve of a foreign policy trip.

Don’t try to sound anything other then sincere. Speak plainly, speak honestly, and speak respectfully..above all speak to the American people...not to the elitist crowd in DC and the EU...
