I know where all the money is going to come from (out of my pocket), but have no clue how Romney will whomp up all the jobs he's promising to kick start.

Goodbye London - Olympics closing ceremony

Mitt can now eat his words, the games went off without any problems

What do you define as no problems ? Half empty stadiums ;venues and London complaining about the lack of visitors going into London as tourists ?

Hey you have to know as many do London is a very expensive city, and in any case the empty seats were those allocted to the hangers on who didn't turn up, so blame the international olympic committee for their poor performance in that regard, the seats should have been available for sale. The Brits must be aware you can't have it both ways. It didn't stop the crowds chearing the british athletes home and they did well even doing better than we did which is the first for a very long time.

I expect regular tourists decided they would go other places, I did in 1980 when I toured Europe rather than turning up in Moscow. London has had some recent events, the Olympics might have been one event too many on a busy calendar
