"England is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions it doesn't make things that people in the rest of the world want to buy. And if it hadn't been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler's ambitions."
Mitt Romney, No Apologies (2010)
Romney on the Brits:
“Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? That’s something which we only find out once the Games actually begin.”
....
“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting… The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and Customs officials – that obviously is not something which is encouraging.” (NBC, 7/25/12)
In the course of 24 hours, he also forgot the opposition party leader's name (while standing next to him), divulged a secret meeting with the UK's top spy (the first rule of MI6 is: you do not talk about MI6), and professed no interest in his wife's Olympic horse.
Perhaps Willard should have been listening to an unnamed advisor, quoted in The Daily Telegraph:
“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special. The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
(Romney's a bungler, but at least he's a WASPy bungler!?)
"Mitt Romney is perhaps the only politician who could start a trip that was supposed to be a charm offensive by being utterly devoid of charm and mildly offensive."
-Alex Spillius, "Romney doesn't like us? We shouldn't care." The Daily Telegraph
President Obama never, as Romney has constantly claimed, apologized for America. But if Willard doesn't put a mitt in it, we may have to apologize for Romney. #Romneyshambles
