Moon Uno, He is remarkably lifelike, but I keep waiting for him to say he wants to "serve man"...

Key Twilight Zone music......

He will deal with Iran and North Korea by consoling them by shipping more American jobs over to them.

SOOTHE, LOL, Quite possible!

Care to explain the Mittster's disclosing that he had met with the head of British MI6?

That amounts to a big time "Look at me, I'm so important" howler... Contrast that one with the President not even telling his family about "Operation Geronimo."

As for "British tabloid journalism," it's a bit ironic that the "Dowager Empress" of a number of those operations is none other than Rupie Murdoch himself, proprietor of Fox Noise, who also appears headed for a fall...

Keith, It is being seen as a Diplomatic disaster, not a conversational disaster between two unsuspecting unknowns, because just as when you go to a friend's wedding, you put a smile and say it's great. I doubt Mitt has any detailed information on how the Games are actually going, so just smile and flatter. He did neither, to the US's strongest supporter. Doubting the enthusiasm of the Brits before it has even started annoyed them the most.

He then divulged classified information, talking about meetings with the head of MI6 which British Politicians are not supposed to discuss - and something he will have been briefed upon.

He then called Ed Milliband, leader of the opposition in the UK, 'Mr Leader' - either forgetting his name or mistaking the UK for North Korea?

He then referred to 'looking out of the backside of 10 Downing Street' - in the UK 'backside' means ass. 10 Downing Street often refers to its personnel, not architecture. Not a brilliant statement for someone who wishes to be taken seriously.

Lastly he had a member of his press team denounce Barack Obama's lack of understanding and respect for the 'special relationship' due to his lack of ''shared Anglo-Saxon heritage'' - blatant racism didn't go down well in the United Kingdom either.

This was all on day one! #Romneyshambles indeed

Plus he "set me up" to get nailed by that "middle of nowhere" shot as well...

Watch Grandpa steal that one when he thinks nobody is looking...

...to 99wardlek.....wonderful comment......isn't it amazing....this man could actually be......the next......gulp.........President?!!! ...the 'backside' of 10 Downing...omg!!!!!!!!

Don't forget... Romney also said he didn't know if the British people's hearts had come together in this. What else could that imply, but after SEVEN years of anticipation, preparations and difficulties, Romney wasn't "quite sure" if the British were quite prepared or dedicated to this event YET!!

And, FUNNY, how once again, when documentation for Romney's involvement in the 2002 Olympics was requested... it was magically misplaced or sold or recyled or whatever. Much like his staff's computer hard drives were all bought off immediately after his governorship... or, his wife suddenly having a brand new "blind trust" THE DAY BEFORE Romney becomes governor... "Blind Trusts" which Romney calls a "ruse" himself in a speech running for the senate.

We don't even need all of that... just let Romney and Obama fairly debate without scripts and answer questions DIRECTLY (i.e. what are some of the spending cuts you propose to trim in the $1 trillion from the national debt in your first year, Mr. Romney, as you keep saying? What is ONE law you would change regarding guns in consideration of the Aurora shootings and our constant gun violence?) for 3-4 hours... just a few comfortable chairs on a stage with a panel of maybe 4 conservatives, 4 progressives and Dan Rather as moderator (HE IS objective.) No notes, no prepatory info for either. Maybe Dan Rather could read a list of some accomplishments during Obama's presidency and some "incompletes" and extend the same courtesy regarding Romney's governorship. Rather could also switch this to Obama's public service vs. Romney's 2002 Olypics activities, etc.; changing the focus so that the each must answer with their wits not with scripts. Knowledge is power. Maybe one debate a week televised nationally on ALL basic channels with a completely new panel EVERY week (I prefer Dan Rather every week, but we could have other long time, proven objective moderators, too.) These panels could include citizens in any locale which this is situated... it should be moved from week to week randomly to ensure fairness to all Americans that it could occur anywhere not just swing states... in all fairness.

These debates would be posted and REMAIN on the internet for the entirety of the campaign so anybody can catch up or go back and compare statements. Either campaign caught using snippets to misrepresent the opposition will be compelled to run retractive ads which confess to this misrepresention AND post this on the most popular internet websites - personal and news, specifically on the same websites and TV stations that they advertise on. This will drastically bring down misrepresentations and I recommend some type of similar approach for any political offices. LIES or INACCURACIES will be at the top of the news every day... on TV, on the internet, appropriately, and at the introduction to the next debate/Q&A session... starting to sound fair??

Hmmm!

Meeting with M1-6 is classified information, and the world didn't know that the Brits equivalent of our younger CIA (and that everybody knew of since World War II is some awful revelation?

In the US the standard term of address for the minority party's leader is Mr. Leader, and that is true for those Parlimentary systems also.

Diplomantic Disaster? For mentioning what the British and World's media had been running with as their lead stories on the preparations for the Olympics to get underway? The tabloid media have made this there 24 hour fub story, and the tabloid like media in the US, like this shabby network. Its hardly something we will hear anymore from except for the Obama ass kissers at MSNBC that are totally looking for distractions every day from the poor and getting worse state of our economy.

Announced today, GDP for the 2nd Quarter down to an abenic 1.5%, signifying the utter failures of Obamas wasteful and dangerous policies of borrow and spend, then threaten tax increases to pay for more spending when he has filled the U.S. Credit Card to its max carrying limit.

Time for a change' only 100 days to the election now, folks.

Actually, it is strictly classified.

Ridiculous or not the British government only admitted the existence of the Secret Intelligence Service in the 90s and Sawyer, the guy he met, is one of the first heads of it whose face is known publicly. So for him to then talk about meeting him is actually a stonkingly big No-No, probably the worst of all. The British government is very sensitive about any information whatsoever about the security or intelligence services being publicised. Combine this with the fact that the British government will have wanted to avoid giving the impression of endorsing Romney with this, it actually is a genuinely worrying thing.

@Keith,

Of course, taking the infamous British tabloid journalism

oooooh yes, blame on those "awful" British tabloids, makes you people sound even more whiney than usual (PS. don't forget to stomp your feet, pout your lip, and say "I'm a poor billionaire, and I want my taxcuts, cos otherwise, I'll go bankrupt!")

editorial shannighans of MSNBC in its making mountains of scorn and ridicule out of insignificant molehills in political discourse)

It's shenanigans. And his gaffes are not insignificant, he manages to insult his hosts! Not only any hosts, but 'very special relationship-Anglo-Saxon-fellow-Conservative hosts, which is not only rude, but severerly moronic. Insulting Venezuelans or Iranians would still be rude, but would it cost us? Not bloody much, eh? But insulting the British, then claim you had a special Anglo-Saxon relationship with them ...

Mr. Romney has done well enough with his meetings with British political figures and leaders.

Pray tell, who are they then? Oh, it's completely overshadowed by his huge INSULTS to our friends!!

to which Mr. Romney truthfully and sensibly answered: "It's too early to tell!"

See, and this is where the lying starts, or your trickle-down-style self delusions, cos nobody got upset over ' too early to tell' (did he even say that?) but over the part where he hinted that there were huge problems... he spoke out of turn about something of which he had NO real knowledge to begin with... like he does when he talks about the economy.

If Mr. Romney gave a nonsensical vacuous answer, he would have been attacked for that by Mr. Williams

Dude, you're aware that you're talking about the inherently softballing American press, right?

Let him go on an episode of HARDtalk, with Jeremy Paxton, see how he does.

They are making a big deal about nothng. What does it matter if he forgot the name of some idiot. It is not important. They are going to analyze every world he says. I am beginning to like him for saying what he thinks. That is called integrity!

Augustus,,,,,+If Mr. Romney has so much integrity why is he afarid to show his tax returns. How about his off shore accounts ????? How come he had everything deleted when he left office as governer of Mass???????? He is nothing but a lier and and will do or say anything to get in office. It just gives me the creeps to even think about someone like Mitt the Twit running our nation......

The Brits are too smart to watch Faux News, so I don't think they pay any attention to what Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin say.

WHY is it the "liberal" media whenever a Republican is wrong?? If a Democrat is wrong, nothing about the "liberal" media is mentioned then, is it? Don't forget "Faux Nooz" and all those right wing brain dead tax evading LIARS all MUST LIE per Rupert Murdoch, Owner of 20th Century Fox since 1985 and a hardcore radical right winger who not only dictates faux nooz content (always downing Democrats and LYING about the fact the government HAS BEEN SHRINKING under Obama, taxes for the middle class have DROPPED, Bin Laden is dead after Bu@!$%# claims in 2003 "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" - which was true for Bush... two huge tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and TWO wars simultaneously keeping weapons manufacurers thrilled and the military budget growing EVERY YEAR ON CREDIT FROM CHINA. Then, the big banks and Wall Street scream for cash and the American people cover their bets and bonuses. Now, we cannot get loans fast enuf to save our homes although OBAMA did pass laws to force banks to provide refinancing at lower rates. Big Banks should be broken back into state-size bank and along with Wall Street - should be regulated BIG TIME. ENUF with the RADICAL REPUBLICAN DOGMA "over-regulation" is killing job growth and "over-taxation" of "job creators" (HA HA) is stifling investment. We played that game when Bushin and Cheney stole the White House in 2000 for eight years. We need relief from right wing radical naysayers and should let the Democrats run the show for a while. If you ever took the time to look up economic influence in our country after the INVESTMENT in America by Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, every Republican president after him has run up big debt while cutting spending on Americans in all aspects except WAR in EVERY decade. This is why Repubs are referred to as hawks and Dems as doves. War is the big thing for Repubs and, if you don't show support for the war effort, you're "unpatriotic." BULL! Let's take care of Americans with our tax dollars instead of unnecessary expensive wars that benefit a few (like Dick Cheney/Halliburton).

Little tidbits... Bush closed most of the USDA inspections centers... Halliburton (Cheney) overrode the oilriggers safety concerns which is why we had the BP oil spill... Republican wrote up the agreement that the automatic cuts to the military and discretionary spending occur if no agreement was reached... I could go on.

Bat eared would be a better description; we don't want anyone mistaking those ears for the mascot of the rightous reformers of the Republican Party now.

The media in the UK is largely owned by Murdoch, the owner of FoKKKs Nooze. But I do enjoy your fantasies about Al Capone whatever connections you see with Obama.

Al Capone cared about the poor. That is why he started the soup kitchens in Chicago. Obama also cares about the poor.

.....actually Soothe, he just is officially, an international TWIT.............&;-)

Great comment Cindy!!!

Well, if he'll promise to outsource the House of Representatives, I might think of voting for him... Not that my vote will count on Planet Utah, of course...

yep, respect for your exceptionally stupidness.

And the "Twitter" thing. What is that? Like as in "They were all a-twitter?" People don't speak like that.

Oh - it's in England. They make up stupid words all the time.

James: It's true, we don't typically use these words; but, the more you read, the more you will find that there are many words to express the same thing or can help you express yourself.

People refer to the "#" symbol as a hash mark, although it is also used to represent a number or pound.

Shambles refers to something like "your house is in a shambles" which means like a real mess or deteriorating... it is colloquial or "old fashioned."

Twitter typically refers to the sounds to birds are making when they communicate... which why when people use twitter, they "tweet."

Patience and using google or a dictionary can get you far. Reading is the best way to learn more words and how they can be used. The greater your vocabulary, the more you will understand what is happening around you.

Best wishes.

Um hmmm! Education is a wondrous thing, not?

I think it was a smart move by Romney to say that security is not as good as it should be. It never is as good as it should be. We do not want anything terrible to happen, but if it does happen Romney can say, "I told you so!" Anyway, if he felt it was not as good as it should be, what is wrong with that? He certainly has a righ to his own feelings. Those who criticise him are as bad as the Southern Baptist that make me feel that I should believe what they believe. He has every right in the world to his own feelings. They should respect his opinion based on what he has observed, just as much as he respects their opinion. When I was in England in WWII, the newspapers headlines stated that the British troops had advanced without mentioning how many mine while ignoring how much Patton had advance which was 100 times more than the Britisth. I am not making this up. They treated the US Army advances unjustly compared to the British. They made it look as if the British were winning the war when it was the US. By the way the Italians women won Godl, Silver and Bronz in fenzing. You will never see that in the front pages of the British press.

Since most people make mistakes, they can identify with someone also making a mistake. If they attack Romney's mistake then psychologically they may feel that their mistakes may also be crirticized. I think that Romeny needs to be seen as more identifying with the average person and his mistakes may be to his advantage.

He seems a little bit too nervous at time. He needs to relax and not care what some members of the media think. He needs to give this impression: My decisions will be made based on the information I have, not as a reaction to what others say. I will make the final decision based on facts, not what someone said. Criticism will be evaluated and I will decide if the criticism is valid or not. If it is valid and I can learn rom it, then so be it, but if it is false it is not my problem. Then the problem belongs to the person who made the criticism.
