An example of the power of the incumbency was on display today. The President (in tal's words ) has peed on the head of Israel since he was sworn in .
But today ;on the eve of the Romney visit to Israel ; the President made a big demonstration of signing into law ,a military aid bill for Israel. The Israelis will see through this demonstration. But it wasn't meant for their benefit . It was to shore up his Jewish support in Florida. |

He really doesn't like them over there:
He wrote this in his 2010 book No Apology:
England [sic] 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.
In 2007:
The United States is in danger of becoming a "second-tier" nation like Britain and other European countries if Hillary Clinton wins the White House |

He was right in his book. When you read the rest of the paragraph it makes perfect sense.
And if it hadn't been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler's ambitions. Yet only two lifetimes ago, Britain ruled the largest and wealthiest empire in the history of humankind. Britain controlled a quarter of the earth's land and a quarter of the earth's population.

When you have a mouth and half a brain you just have to use both. Romney demonstrated both in Britain and was told appropriately how small his efforts had been. Let's hope he doesn't tell the Polish people how wonderful Dachau was, or let Isreal know his religious beliefs

I have a sense Tom that Obama may have beat him to other things and may prevail particularly if Romney continues his give me's.
Romney wants to elevate the US at the expense of others, rather he should put his expertise to work elevating the US from its second string economic status and take a lesson from the British experience. When you overstretch your resources your inadequacies will one day become obvious |

His statement ,although clumbsy ,was not worthy of the over-reaction .All he did was point out some concerns that the Brit press has reported on since they won the bid to hold the games. Perhaps when they stop their over the top bloviating they may consider that Romney had tremendous success managing an Olympics .
When he was called on the bail out the Salt Lake City games the project was a corrupt, bloated, and overbudget, organization that was $400 million in the hole .There were crimes that resulted in jail time for some of the organizers .He had exactly the same security concerns as the Brits have. His Olympics was in the wake of the 9-11 attack ,and there was not a whole lot of extra money to devote to security Still ,the games were held without a hitch .He transformed it into a spectacular success with a $100 million surplus. So unless the Brits are over sensitive panty waists ,their explosive reaction to his comments are way over the top. . |

You don't need to defend him because he is a republican, if Obama had said it you would have criticised him. There is a vast difference between the British press commenting on British shortcomings and an american wannabee doing the same to bolster his own ego and his political position..
The Brits have done a marvelous job with the opening ceremony, and guess what? They didn't need Romney's advice. I predict they will find it will all turn out okay |

But I'll be fair. The uniforms the US team wore was lame! How they allowed Ralph Lauren to dress our athletes in French berets ,and too large Polo logos on their suits is beyond me. |

Then again ;maybe Romney has a point. They weren't ready for the games .
