WARSAW -- Mitt Romney capped his foreign tour with a major speech here in Poland's capital, though the third leg of the presumptive GOP nominee's trip abroad was again beset by an incident that threatened to overshadow the purpose of his visit.
Romney sought to regain his political footing in the final major appearance on his three nation foreign trip, praising the recent economic success here in Poland and hailing several iconic figures in the nation's history who helped advance Poland out of communist control.
"I believe it is critical to stand by those who have stood by America," Romney told his audience in a university atrium, effectively summing up the message he hoped to convey to all three American allies he visited this week, before pivoting to Poland specifically. "Solidarity was a great movement that freed a nation. And it is with solidarity that America and Poland face the future."
In his fifteen minutes of remarks, Romney also heaped praise on the Polish economy, one of the strongest in Europe, as being emblematic of the kind of free market principles the GOP contender regularly espouses on the stump.
"Your nation has moved from a state monopoly over the economy, price controls, and severe trade restrictions to a culture of entrepreneurship, greater fiscal responsibility, and international trade," Romney said. "As a result, your economy has experienced positive growth in each of the last twenty years. In that time, you have doubled the size of your economy."
But it was an interaction before the speech between a Romney campaign aide and the press corps traveling with the candidate that risked throwing the campaign off-message. Tensions flared following a visit by Romney to Warsaw's Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, where the Republican candidate ignored questions shouted to him by the media. During the entirety of Romney's trip, he took only three questions from the press at a single brief availability in London.
As reporters shouted to be heard by Romney across an open plaza a press aide implored them to be respectful, then adding "kiss my ass," and telling one reporter to "shove it." The aide later apologized.
After the speech, Romney's top strategist Stuart Stevens called the trip a "great success, mostly," and defended the press availability of his candidate, which was limited to a handful of television interviews on top of the availability at 10 Downing Street on Thursday.
"I think he has answered a lot of questions," Stevens said, telling reporters he was pleased that Romney spoke from the heart about what he called "big issues."
"He's saying what he believes," Stevens said.
Polish attendees interviewed before the speech here in Warsaw -- several of whom expressed jaded views towards the current U.S. administration -- said they were interested to hear Romney's views on Russia and visa issues (Russia was mentioned once, visas not at all), but that they recognized the real audience for today's speech was thousands of miles away.
"It's just politics," said Joanne Wierbowska, an economics graduate student. "We know that 10 million Polish people live in the United States so it's obvious he should be here."
Romney played the sympathies of Polish-Americans in his remarks by repeatedly praising a favorite Polish son, revered by many in both countries: Pope John Paul II.
"John Paul the Second understood that a nation is not a flag or a plot of land. It is a people -- a community of values," Romney said. "And the highest value Poland honors - to the world's great fortune -- is man's innate desire to be free."
The speech marked Romney's final major stop of his whirlwind trip, in which a series of perceived missteps often overwhelmed the campaign's message: from calling preparations for the 2012 Olympic games "disconcerting" while in Great Britain, to pegging Israeli and Palestinian economic disparities, in part, to cultural differences.
Whether or not the trip would ultimately be considered a success, Stevens said, would be determined back in the United States, not on headlines generated abroad.
"There is no electoral college here," Stevens said. "You're not trying to win the electoral college in England, Israel and Poland."

Yep. Good. If all else fails, insult the press.
People ought to be very concerned at Romney's continual press avoidance. Why does he do that? Is it because he is unable to think on his feet and give reasonable answers to questions?
His press aide should be fired for what he said to the press in Poland.
Romney's speech is the second worst thing for Poland since the event started on September 1, 1939.
Mitt.... if this is how you handle a mildly insistent press - while on a world tour to create publicity and visibility for your candidacy - you (and we...) are doomed if you ever become president.
If its not scripted you know he is going to step in it. Anytime Romney is interviewed by anyone other than fox he makes news with what he says. I think the whole "cultural differences" gaffe was a major one. You do not go on these trips to see how you can piss people off or to demonstrate this "American Exceptionalism" crap no one cares about any more. We cannot choose a person that can excite a war with a country while you are on a trip that has a peaceful purpose. I think if anything, this takes foreign policy off the table for Romney in his speeches going forward or the debates coming up. So this is now something else Romney is not going to want to talk about along with specifics on his TAX RETURNS, when he really left Bain, funding for the '92 Olympics and he being a registered lobbiest during that time, time as Govt of MA, etc....
Such typical Mittens-Open mouth, step on dick. What else can you say? 1st headline for him in London-"Mitt the Twit"-couldn't have said it better myself. It's amazing that Londoners can see right through this suit in the first day he is in town, yet the sheeple who follow him here are totally blind to it. At least they got to see what the GOP's finest looks like, and they are probably still laughing at him and his flock.

Very Presidential, indeed!!! Willard, you are making a fool of yourself. If it wasn't common knowledge that you are from the U.S., I wouldn't care, but you are making the entire country look bad.
hey, Mitt, are you going to talk about your plan to release your tax returns? If not, then shut TF up.
Hit Girl & NDD
So the way Jay Carney and Robert Gibbs handled questions from the White House press corps was okay with you??? Utter contempt would put their attitudes mildly.
Pigotry
You probably wouldn't be able to understand his tax returns.
Did they tell the press to kiss their a$$ or shove it? Because I must have missed that part.
We're screwed if Romney gets elected, screwed if Obama gets reelected... screwed all the way around
I love Romney's responses to questions on his tax returns or anything else he did not want to talk about when interviewed by ABC. He looked like a man on the stand or in front of a congressional hearing that is trying to fend off attention, plead the 5th, or right out deflect questions that if he were to answer truthfully would cause more problems for himself... Ala Alberto Gonzales the Attorney General for Bush when he was in front of a congressional hearing on the mass firing of all those lawyers... "I dont recall; Not to my recollection, etc"
Romney has become just like, er.....Sarah Palin! Except Romney can see Russia from all of his houses! Now Romney's handlers don't want him to speak to media unscripted because he is such a putz. Next play in the action book: Start calling the media "lame stream media", the're out to "get us". Only interviews granted will be softball ones with Fox (e.g. Sean Hannity).
Yep!
"He's saying what he believes" said Stevens. Whatever that's supposed to mean. And the not speaking to the press? That's Polands fault for not having Fox News.

Is it because he is unable to think on his feet. He does think on his feet. If I am asked a serious question, I can't answer it. If I am asked HOW I am I going to ENRICH the 98%, he can't answer it, because he is only concerned about further enriching the 2%. He considers the working class as his slaves. Work harder, get paid less or better yet, get fired.
From Evita:
"The Rainbow Tour"
People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina
Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much
She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch
She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater
But if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard
Franco's reign in Spain should see out the forties
So you've just acquired an ally who
Looks as secure in his job as you
But more important current political thought is
Your wife's a phenomenal asset, your trump card
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through?
But the answer is yes
There you are, I told you so
Makes no difference where she goes
The whole world over just the same
Just listen to them call her name
And who would underestimate the actress now?
Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't quite as good
She hasn't gone down like they thought she would
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory
They equate Peron with Mussolini, can't think why
Did you hear that? They called me a whore!
They actually called me a whore!
But Signora Peron it's an easy mistake
I'm still called an admiral
Yet I gave up the sea long ago
More bad news from Rome; she met with the Pope
She only got a rosary, a kindly word
I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the bird
But papal decorations, never a hope
She still looked the part at St. Peter's, caught the eye
Will Evita win through?
But the answer is ...
A qualified
Yes
Eva started well, no question, in France
Shining like a sun through the post-war haze
A beautiful reminder of the care-free days
She nearly captured the French, she sure had the chance
But she suddenly seemed to lose interest
She looked tired
Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fade
I don't think she'll make it to England now
It wasn't on the schedule anyhow
You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required
Would Evita win through?
And the answer is
Yes
And No
And yes
And no
And yes
No
The Song seems so appropriate, the [people of Poland saw right through him, he flubbed it is Israel and England. And why is he having fundraisers in foreign countries? I thought you could only raise money from US Citizens.
The rainbow tour is starting to fade!
Romney is another Palin, cannot think and talk at the same time
I don't like Romney for Pres. HE is too clutzy. We recently had a Pres who constantly put his foot in his mouth and became the puppet Pres of a coniving VP. Mitt can't think on his feet. When he tries he insults the Brits, he insults the Palistinians. He'd let the US auto industry fail and by extension every industry fail. He makes money on failures and sees it as a business that he'd like to make stronger. HE is unAmerican in that he sees no reason to keep money in the US. Keeps it in jurisdictions that help him hide his riches and avoid taxes from the country he'd like to be dictator of. Screw that. He can kiss my A**. The Problem is Pres O is not all that effective and is an unabashed socialist. As for the aid that told rude journalists to kiss it : Give her/him a medal and a payraise please.
This is an episode of ... Ugly Americans ... visiting the world
"'I think he has answered a lot of questions,' Stevens said."
"During the entirety of Romney's trip, he took only three questions from the press at a single brief availability in London."
I swear, these people would lie about the order of the alphabet if they thought it would make them look better.
Thank God For FOX News and other outlets not controlled by the MSM,when You look at the way the lapdogs in the MSM allow themselves to be props during Obama's propaganda party's, that he still has the audacity to call"press conferences", with the stooges sitting quietly,like good little lap dogs should, while Obama "calls" on trusted members in the group to ask him the questions he wants asked,and only those questions,(when was the last time You heard Mr. Obama being asked a question on the economy, the deficit, unemployment, or anything about the numerous scandals within his administration?),then you see these same members of the MSM "reporting" absolute drivel about made up controversial gaffes in Israel and Poland, while totally ignoring any mention or showing, of the huge crowds with smiling faces and shouts of support for Mr. Romney, which would conflict with the MSM's pre-decided anti-Romney propaganda slant they are to report, and You wonder why Mr. Romney would ignore them?
Can't we just wait for the debates. Romney's goose is cooked. The only thing he seems to be well versed in is the GOP lies about the economy. Here is the truth Romney lovers. It is George W. Bush's fault. The economy was bleeding 700000 jobs a month when Obama took over. July marked the 20 straight month of positive job growth. Wall St. reached a low of 6000 in March following Obama's inauguration, two months can later can hardly be caused by the new president, it now is over $13000, and pretty healthy considering the mess caused by Bush policy's world wide. What does that leave for Romney to talk about. Nothing much.
Mitt does not have an agenda; nor does he have a clue on giving solutions; he knows no way but to whine. If he took a positive route and had solutions; he only knows the low road; what a joke he is for the office of President of the United States
This guy puts the "UG" in Ugly American.
@J.D. Still
If Fox is so great, why are you on these comment forums? Your boy Mitt the Twit can't answer a question without pissing an entire country off. He really should go with the Palin "write it on your hand" messaging tactic, or maybe he has dyslexia.
Romney knows his audience. It's sheep who ask no questions, wait to be told what, where, and when and know their place in society. The conservative masses like being screwed over, believe their masters, and march in place like they're told. They are willing and waiting for their Romney.
Romney and his room full of rent'a stooges are interesting to watch. Have you seen the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? At the end you see the converted, standing, pointing, screaming at those trying to escape. This is your future. A President who merely wants to convert the masses to his pathetic vision of a future society where the wealthy lead their compliant stooges. Step up to the cool-aid table. He's arrived.
Chuck, I agree with you on that; and to think the Repubs say Obama relies to much on teleprompter in his speeches but at least he hasn't made major mistakes like Mitt, and if I'm not mistaking GWB had a major snafu when overseas (think it might have been Saudi Arabia), where someone had to sort of cover for him.
I had a dream last night the Repubs swept the Senate, keeping their majority in house, as well as Mitt being elected Pres. As he promised, and his house an senate minions went along ObamaCare was immediately overthrown, the poor and even some of the middle class were thrown out of medical care because drs didn't want to treat them if they had no ins. and the majority of hospitals refused to accept them even in er's. They even undid many of the gains we Veterans made while Obama was POTUS. Needless to say Mitt and his minions got swept out the next election but Mitt just couldn't understand why when he had the most money. He thought he'd bought the election, just like he did his first and only win.
Hey all you libs you are all bending over for Mr. Obama. Thats okay becuase of the Bill of Rights you have constitutionally protected right to assemble as you wish, to practice or not practice religion and to have a free presss or atleast an unbiased press, which it is not. We have had an unbiased national anchorman on the evening news since Walter. I just wish y'all would grow up and get a pair rather than to whine and wimper all the time. As a vet I am embrassed of my country and who they put into high office from 2008 to the present. It is like a very bad dream, but as with all dreams you eventually wake and face reality. Mr Obama continues to blame everyone under the sun for his failings while President Bush does not openly criticize Mr. Obama. So which one has more class and respect for the American sysytem. POTUS Bush or Mr.Obama? Mitt is going to become President Romney thanks to Mr. Obama own ineptitude and incompetence. JFK when he was faced with the events of his own doing, admitted to the public that he had screwed up, but Mr. Obama is so arrogant that he can not admit his own failings. His time in office has been a huge mistake and the Republic shall survive, becuase the Republic is stronger than its weakest link. But we could never survive another democratically controlled Congress, for truly that would be our downfall.
Morning dawns and all the Obama supporters rise or are still up from last night, to post BS and spins and any unreal things they can think up to make it look like Romney did bad and Obama is the savior. HA! His comments in England were reasonable, and blown way out of proportion by the liberal Obama slave news outlets. In Israel he made the Palisinians mad with his words on culture. Well ..... a country where everyone is free and equal including women will always do better than a culture where women are servants or owned property. Just the way it is. The Palistinians are for Obama because he gave them our tax dollars without even consulting Congress. So why would they say anything good about Romney even if he never mentioned them? Israel vs Hamas, Israel vs Hamas. Hmmmm Obama chose Hamas, Romney chose Israel. I"m with Romney on that one. The poles like Romney so stop the BS spin. Thier leader wished him his success, easily translated to "I hope you win". And why wouldn't he? Obama abandones the protective shield to be built for our allies there. He abandoned it in a wimp favor to the Russians who he "can be more flixible after the election". What other wimp out or collusions does he have planned there? Give it up because anyone who wants to preserve our free nation and our Constitution will vote for Romney whether he was thier first choice or not.
Be respectful and kiss my ass you pathetic eastern european scum. Shove it. Do you know that he is possibly the next leader of the free world and it is beneath him to answer questions.(translation)
The people you surround yourself with, says a lot about who you are.
It was not enough to tell the world that your closest ally is incompetent to hold the Olympics, he had to go and say that Israel is successful because they are greedy bastards like himself, then his staff insults the international press when they have the temerity to try and do their jobs.
This guy cannot be allowed to hold the country's highest office.
6% of this country will decide who will be our next president. They will be watching the debates and if Romney is unable to think on his feet, his goose is cooked. At the debates he will have to actually answer questions with real answers, not talking points if he wants to win them over.
If conservative super PAC money manages to elect mittens as POTUS, kiss what
little freedom you have left, goodbye because it will be privatized like
everything else.
Cant, afford to pay RomneyCo Disaster Response Services LLC? Then, let your
house burn! You don't deserve to own a home! Don't worry, we have RomneyCo

Is that the world that conservatives want? I doubt it but, that sure seems to
be the way they are headed! @!$%# that!!!!
BTW the GOP decide not to ask CJ Roberts to be at the convention, just in case y'all were wondering. And Mitt is going to ask Palin to be his running mate...
Y'all that are hoping for the libs to rescue you from your own ineptitude, forget it. Your day is done. After Romney wins it will be a complete sweep for the GOP. God bless the Republic. Enough of y'all freeloaders riding off the backs of the taxpayers. The Tea Party is coming for y'all...

I believe you need to get back to the woods and stop poking your head out into the real world!
REB: why don't you come back when you have something factual to contribute?
By the way, REBBIE, Mittens says that America ought to stand with those who stood with us.
Guess what, sweetie, Russia stood with us during WW 2. It was in all the history books, you know, those pesky things you have never read?
So when Mittens says the "Soviet Union" is a big danger, do you find that a bit, well, odd?
Which is it? All are allies, or only the ones Mitty likes are allies?
Take your time answering, neatness counts.
Ready....BEGIN!

I knew Michele was in England earlier but has Obama left the country again?
Romney = the most inexperienced Republican candidate in decades.
Romney is trying desperately to copy Obama's pre-election tour of Europe, capped with his famous speech in Berlin in front of thousands of people.
Repubs tried to label Obama a "celebrity."
So can we now call Romney, a "failure"?
What makes you think Romney will agree to any debates? Where in the US Constitution does it say there has to be Presidential Debates?
I beat Faux news to their story line for September. That's right folks, you heard it here first..... there won't be any debates.
And if there were, I can see it now.....
Sean Hannity "Gov Romney......what regulations can you think of that are hurting business"?
Romney "The minimum wage law, the clean air act, the clean water act..... I know there are more, but I only glanced at the email from.... cough cough"
Sean Hannity "Mr Obama..... The SOX Act requires publicly traded companies to have a disinterested 3rd party to audit their accounting books, couldn't that hurt their profit margin? and is it really neccessary for investors to have a true picture of the company books?
President Obama " The SOX Act was the result of.............."
Sean Hannity "I am sorry Mr Obama... time for our next question on Foreign Policy. Gov Romney what is your foreign policy background?"
Gov Romeny "Well I had dealing with many countries, from off shore bank..."
Sean Hannity "Cough, cough... sorry for the coughing Governor... please continue"
Gov Romney "Er thankyou Sean. Where was I, oh yeah I visited the London Olympics, Israel and Poland"
Hannity "Mr Obama... and since you have very little experience in foreign affairs... we won't ask you any questions in this area"
President Obama "But Sean... I inherited two wars, authorized raids across borders to take out the top leadership of Al quiada."
Hannity interupts "yes, yes, but we don't care, because your just not one of us"
Sorry to borrow your script Faux.
So please let there be debates.

So when you so crudely asked "When Mittens says the "Soviet Union" is a big danger, do you find that a bit, well, odd?" and you put the quotes around "Soviet Union" I assume you were implying that Romney actually said that and not Russia which of course is what he did say and not the BS you put out which is as always blatantly false.

Mitt's press aide should be fired but he won't be. His base love red meat and insulting the press will just put another feather into that jackasse's hat. Mitt will probably give him a big fat raise.
Oh, my word! The Obama worshipers are here and out in force, belittling ANYTHING they hear or read about Romney... The man can't utter a word without some Libby finding offense, or feigning offense I should say. You folks really ought to give it a rest because pay back is a female dog!
Well Tony, actually Mitt doesn't mutter many words away from the teleprompter, but when he does, he only reinforces his persona as the out of touch one percenter who only cares about benefiting his own class.
Failure to answer the question, Rebbie.
Grade: F.
And Rebbie: here is one source about Mittens and his inability to know about the current global politics;
"Romney Camp Again Warns of "Soviet" Threat. TPM; Evan McMorris; July 25, 2012.
Now. I realize that asking YOU a serious question is a waste of time. But let's try again.
Mittens says that we should stand by those who stood by us. The "Soviets" stood by us. Define what this means for Mittens foreign policy.
Here is your "Feisty" memorial statistics for the day:
The odds of Obama winning on Nov 6th are 66.9% versus 33.1% for Romney. If the election were held today, the odds of Obama winning would be 73.7% versus 26.3% for Romney.
newdayDAWNING...RETURNED
I see you are using the talking points again but remember, it was NOT Mitt Romney who said that. This is just like so many things the Obama camp says that aren't attributed directly to him by the left. Try using something he actually said like the president did with the "You didn't build that" comment. You grasp for straws with this.
Romney says he will stand with those who stood by us. The Soviet Union does not exist any more - read your history. Poland on the other hand does still exist and has tried to stand with us even though the president tried to screw them in the back with the missile shield. Define what Obama means! Define what Obama meant when he told Medvedev about missile defense -- "after my election, I have more flexibility" - that is a direct quote and much more troubling.
Unfortunately, if that were true, than the party that supports the interests of the financial elite and have attempted to roll back the social welfare state created by the New Deal would have been destroyed a long time ago. Ask Dwight D. Eisenhower, a former member of that party....
Oh yes, America is greatly looking forward to the takeover of a bunch of spineless right-wing idiots whose only task is to mask the real Tea Party, the collusion of America's wealthiest interests trying to destroy the social welfare state and turn the entire nation into an oligarchy ruled not by the people, but by corporations and the 1%. Oh how I look forward to that future!!
OBAMA BIDEN 2012
Gosh, I keep forgetting that you can't provide complex information for Reb. Now. Do have someone read the article to you and you will find out that feckless Mitty did indeed refer to the "Soviet Union" and that his campaign has made a habit of it.
He has made a foreign policy statement. He did not qualify it. Russia did exist as a part of the Soviet Union. Now, Rebbie, which is it?
In Mitten's black and white world, is Russia friend or foe?
A BS article. Have checked for a place that shows that Romney actually said that and it does not exist. If it did the liberal press would have been all over it and not just some BS talking points memo.
You NDD are just grasping for anything to deflect from the poor presidency of Obama.
Tell me what do you love the best about Obama's 3 1/2 years - the 8+ unemployment for the past 40+ month, the soon to be 16 trillion deficit, the concept ignoring the immigration laws, the significant increase in food stamp costs and users, the increased number of people in poverty... I could go on but tell me which one will you miss the most when Obama is gone in November???
PS - does Obama think Russia is our great friend?? He can't get them to back him on Syria!!
Who cares what the lap dog Obama press thinks. They are more less comprised of pseudo "journalists" like "he (Obama) sends shivers up my leg" Chris Matthews who will obfuscate, distort or selectively censor anything Romney says. Conversely they contort themselves into pretzels in trying to convince us Obamas "you didn't create that" speech was taken out of context. Meanwhile they show no nterest in questioning the Obama administration about who authorized the "fast and furious" or leaked classified information on he Bin Laden raid and covert actions directed at Iran. We've tuned you out lap dogs. You no longer control the dialogue. Too bad you can't take the Romney staff members advice to kiss his ass because your heads are so far up Obamas.
Oh my goodness, Rebbie, you really CAN'T do this can you.
You see, dear, if you had UNDERSTOOD the article that was read to you, you would see that it gave a date, quoting Mittens on "Soviet Union". The fact is that his campaign throws that out there all the time. And if you had clicked the link, you would have found out WHERE he said it on April 20th.
Now. Try very hard to focus on the question Rebbie: No distractions, go to a quiet place.
Mitty said that those countries that have stood with us are our bff's. Which is it, Russia, friend or foe, and what does that say of Mittens knowledge of geopolitics or history?
This is your last chance to get a grade for the semester.
Memo from: Rafalca
Since my master, Mittens, won't speak to the press, and that fool-aide Gorka told the American press to "kiss my a-ss, Anne has now forced me to speak for the Romney campaign.
I don't want to do this, but if I don't,even more tortuous dance steps will be devised for me, and I may end up being tortured like my canine friend was-puking at 70 miles an hour while strapped to the roof of one of the MANY Romney vehicles.
Here's the deal- Mittens is NOT posturing as a hateful, combative, spoiled, rich punk in order to raise foreign money. He really IS a hateful, combative, spoiled, rich punk- for my sake, PLEASE don't ask him why I am listed as a business expense on those tax returns he is hiding.
Can't you just learn to dance and suffer?-Mitt says that is what he expects from his possessions, and I believe him!
Romney was asked a question by Brian Williams regarding the Olympics. Romney gave his honest opinion which was blown way out by the media. Why would Mitt Romney even think of answering any more questions honestly when the media isn't honest??? America needs Mitt Romney as our President!!!!. Like Mitt Romney says Pres. Obama is a nice guy buy just doesn't get it. I wanted Mitt Romney four years ago and I want him NOW!!! I don't want America to become a Socialistic Country! That is what Obama appears to want. Vote for Romney and take America back!! PLEASE !!!
Gaffe after gaffe after gaffe. Now Mitt even has his staff doing it. What a disaster should we get this religious cult member to lead us. What a disaster for diplomacy!
Since all of you liberals have all the answers, why aren't you working for Obama? Or are you to smart for him?
Poland! How daring and bold of Mittens! lol...
Sandra - Take America back from who, from what? The only ones that truly have this country by the balls at the moment are the rich and powerful that are pouring millions and millions of money into ads to distort both candidates, Obama mostly. If you want to start taking the country back, start by not believing the hate, deceit and lies coming from both parties.
REB - I have to correct you and prove you wrong. There is a clip that I saw today of Romney starting to say Soviet Union and then correct himself and say Russia. This, in my opinion is clearly something that was discussed with his "handlers" who are repeatedly saying Soviet Union instead of Russia. Makes you think what is really going on behind the scenes of Romney's campaign. The Soviet Union has been dissolved for what, 25 years? And some are STILL using that term. At least Sarah Palin was smart enough to see "Russia" from her house.
President Obama never 'apologized' for America. With Mitt the twit (as our allies call him) out running his mouth, he may need to.
What amazes so many, is the fact that this foolish man, Willard Mitt-Wit Romney the talking lying buffoon, is the Republican choice for President of the United States. You people really sit your bar low.

Contempt...Funny how you left out the part in that same poll about how Americans do not trust Mitt Romney (Only 39% considered him trustworthy--Obama was 47%) And that they simply do not like him (Only 30% said they did--Obama was at 60%). When people do not like you or trust you, they usually don't want you to lead them.
"Mitt the Twit" came from the publication owned by Murdoch, the same man that owns Fox Notnews.
Most Americans do not know what Romney's implementation of the Rand Paul budget would do to them. Austerity measures put England into a double dip recession, And Paul's budget is far more draconian. Services will be cut dramatically, so the effective financial burden on the average household will increase. The Rich will get a trillion dollar tax cut and they will use it to create jobs overseas, unless the American worker is willing to work for 2$ per hour.
I assume you're talking about Romney in this little blip.
FYI..... Mitt has no plan for creating jobs. Nor does he have any incentives for companies to create jobs. If he manages to maintain the current tax rates, companies will continue to slash jobs as they have been doing for some time now. He will never get tax cuts through law.
Oh and if "creating good jobs" revolves around the Keystone Pipeline........ I've got a bridge to sell you too. Those jobs were not only temporary (as in two years) but they were composed of such positions as hair dressers, bakers, strippers, valet attendants, waiters/waitresses, etc. amongst the handful of actual pipeline related positions that would have been created by that pork sandwich of a plan.
That's the kind of short term thinking that Mitt rests his hat on. Temporary bull-shi+ that looks good today, and will probably be forgotten tomorrow when the house of cards comes burning down. The mantra of the right wing.
By the way Mitt, thanks for siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars out of the US economy so you can stash your rainy day funds overseas and NOT INVEST IN THE COUNTRY YOU WANT TO LEAD. Thanks!
Obama put out a jobs bill that Republicans blocked.
Obama's bill would have employed 1 million Americans and unemployment would now be sitting below 8%.
Republicans have filibustered, blocked, and stalled the economic recovery and jobs.
The only jobs that Mitt Witt would create are those defense contractor jobs after he starts WWIII by invading Iran, Russia and China -- what a ^%$#&g tool! Of course he and his buds will be in some luxury bunker somewhere while the rest of us are toasted and crispy.
I think it says a lot about Team Romney's high standard of excellence that a day where his aide behaved in this manner is being considered a "net win" for the campaign. Then again, I am not a top corporate CEO.
They'll just etch-a-sketch that portion away. All good!
Fox will do some creative editing.
Yes, it's important to tell the press to kiss your ass and to shove it. (sarcasm)
The guy told the press to "Kiss My Ass!"?
I believe he speaks for millions and millions of Americans.
Really, WCA? So your goal is to eradicate an active, questioning press?
Why am I not surprise?
Those reporters have a job to do, you know. You may not like it and Mr. Romney and his staff may not like it but you don't have to be a prick about it and tell reporters to kiss your ass.
Not only is Mitt the Gaffe King, but he has surrounded himself with a bunch of idiots. This is what the wants to bring to America. Sorry Mitt you are a "twit!" How would he and who would he have fill appointed offices. I don't want to think about the walking disaster he is and would be!
What amazes so many, is the fact that this foolish man, Willard Mitt-Wit Romney the talking lying buffoon, is the Republican choice for President of the United States. You people really sit your bar low.
[The guy told the press to "Kiss My Ass!"?]
Sorta kinda like what you do when you are cornered about whether YOU PERSONALLY benefitted from the auto bailouts...You can't answer truthfully, and after numerous lies, you deflect by attempting to change the discussion. Seems you can't find anything to say in support of Romney, so you continually stalk the president. How "white collar" of you...
And for the life of me I can't believe that you have no interest in learning whether Romney is hiding something.
Huh...I suppose if that's all you have...
WCA, the President is supposed to be the representative and leader for the people. How can he be this when he has such obvious disdain for the people.
White Collar Auto
The guy told the press to "Kiss My Ass!"?
I believe he speaks for millions and millions of Americans.
Really? You mean the 1%
Regain footing??
Can Romney say anything without NBC trumpting it up as some type of national incident. What a joke this network has turned into. NBC and the main stream media are scrambling like crazy to find something anything that can help erase tha fact that Obama told the whole world a couple weeks back that he sides with Marxism over Capitalism.
The funniest part is Obama's "you didn't build that" speech was lifted from another Marxist Elizabeth Warren. Her speech started with the cynical and snide comment "you built a factory, well good for you". This morning they announce that Warren will have a major role at the DNC Convention speaking immediately before Bill Clinton.
So for the past couple weeks moonbat bloggers and even the President himself in a new political have said what he said wasn't what he said. And at the same time lots of moonbats say what he said what true.
I know it's all to confusing. But why in the world would you double down with Elizabeth Warren.
I can't figure out what's worse having a Marxist as President or an incompetent Marxist. I suppose the latter.
The press is my proxy. I have neither the time nor the inclination to follow this bozo around. When you tell them to kiss your ass, you're telling ME to kiss your ass! Think that'll get my vote?
Here are a few things people need to keep in mind.
1: What Romney said in London about the Olympics was actually true. There was nothing negative about his remarks, only an honest appraisal of the difficulties in hosting an Olympics that every city faces.
2: What he aid in Israel that has Palestine in an uproar is totally true as far as I am concerned. Palestine has done nothing to forward peace. They have systematically targeted and murdered Innocent Israelis, even children. The world knows there will never be peace and yet no leader has the balls to admit to it. Everyone wants to play peacemaker and it always fails. Now it is correct that leaders since Carter have made it official policy not to support Israel moving the seat of government to Jerusalem. But on this I disagree with even the most conservative of them. I believe that Romney hinted at a change in foreign policy if he is elected and that change I for one welcome. And even if you disagree with it it is leaps and bounds better than the dancing around the issue that other leaders have tried to do, with differing shades of failure.
3: In Poland his aide crossed a line with his remarks but I would have said more or less the same thing. The reporters were not just asking questions, they were hounding with overt aggressiveness. However this is the way European journalists work. Lets be honest on this one. The most deplorable paparazzi in America is on par with the most respected journalists in Europe in terms of how they go after a story.
Now for Romney... His European vacation was a mistake because his focus officially has been about America and its economy. Nothing he said in Europe could not have been said in press releases from the states. I think he was trying to capture some of what Obama did in 2008 by pandering to Europe. But with Obama it was nothing but pandering. He went to Europe to make it look as if he were a more European and thus more liberal politician and to further create the mythos of Obama. Romney should have just stayed home and talked with Americans.
As for Romney in Israel. This too was a mistake. While I agree with his statements and his voiced opinions on the matter He specifically stated at the outset of his trip that he was not going to discuss foreign policy or criticism the current administration. He mostly kept to this but his remarks in Israel did in fact cover foreign policy and were clearly intended to be critical of the current administration. He should have just been honest and said that his trip was to introduce himself to the world because he believes he will be the next President and welcomed the opportunity to discuss his ideas on foreign policy. Why? Obama changed the playbook by pandering to those who cannot vote (illegal immigrants and Europeans) because he understood that it was all about perception, not ethics. By pandering to people who could not get him elected he was sending a powerful message to all those who could. Romney missed a vital opportunity on this one.
..because he is impotent, there is nothing else in him to kiss. The entire Romney campaign is also impotent.
Willard Mitt-Wit Romney is a very dangerous man. Let's remember 60% of his foreign policy advisors worked for Dick the war monger Cheney. But of course you have some Neo-Nut Right Wing Drones who post here saying the President favors Marxism.
However, we know that these Neo-Nut Conservative types suffer from ODS, and they like Willard Romney are, "DAMN GOOD AT LYING."
Auntie,
Right on. The lefty press in the US represents those that think they are the smartest group. Just look at these limp d--s. For example Brian Williams (Romney showed him to be the dope Williams is last week). Romney absolutely right on about the arab and muslim culture...it is the bane of civilization. Since the spread of islam in the 7th century the mideast has produced absolutely nothing. it fosters a culture of ignorance, militaristic religious fanatics and absolutely no progress from their 7th century beginnings. They have produced zero in the areas of arts, sciences, economics, social progress in other words they are stuck big time in the past. Anyone who is not aware of this is simply blind or too PC. and the reason they cannot and will not progress is they lack freedom in their societies! Lets face it lefties (mostly Obama supporters) if the mideast did not have the oil reserves it contains would you or anyone else in the west or for that matter Russia, China and Japan as well pay any attention to them? No! They would be still riding around on camels in the desert and still not contributing a single thing to the planet.
Brockton Barlow,
Please also realize that Mitt made the same 'you didn't do it on your own' speech at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics when he was an organizer. It would have almost been a better route to say that Obama copied you, then you would have had an arguement, now Mitt the Twit is just making himself look bad.
I am neither Palestinian, or Jew but the Palestinians have good reason to be unhappy with the Jews; the jews have all the territory in between the Mediteranian and Jordan River, they have built multiple towns on the West bank as well, leaving the Palestinians with nothing but land suitable for nothing. The thing is if you look at a map, all the sites important to the Christians are in Palestinian territory but the Jews don't believe in Christianity. What few Jews that are Christian, in the Jewish side of Israel are persecuted by the non-believers, and govt leaders. There are Palestinian Christians, just as there are Muslims and believe it or not they get along with each other.
Brockton
You are a victim of Foxwashing. They edited out the fact that Obama was referring to the building of infrastructure, which enables a business to to do business.
The percentage of entrepreneurs in Bangladesh is far higher than in the US 70% vs 11%, but they do not have the infrastructure that allows a business to grow and thrive.
You are a victim of Foxwashing. They edited out the fact that Obama was referring to the building of infrastructure, which enables a business to to do business.
Edited out?? The fact is his speech is more damning in it's entirety than just the little "you didn't build it" snippet.
Infrastructure? Just for the record, the roads and bridges, they were built by privately owned construction companies. The government builds nothing. Why do you think Obama, himself, had to appear in Ads saying what he said wasn't what he said.
Sorry, Ed but Hussein got lost in the moment talking to his legion of government dependant moochers. He forgot that the overwhelming majority of Americans are hard working citizens that believe in self reliance and responsibility. They don't agree with his entitlement society plans for bigger and bigger government. Americans respect business owners. Business owners are Americans. They are not cheaters. They pay their fair share. They have to jump through hoops to build their business and they pay through the nose in taxes, fees, and countless added costs associated with regulation upon regulation.
This election comes down to capitalism vs marxism. Romney is a capitalist. Obama is a marxist.
Voters will decide in November!
Oh bull@!$%#. If the Israelis want peace, how about they at least stop constructing settlements in the West Bank??? You have to give a little to get a little. And the change in foreign policy would be from coddling Israel to worshiping Israel and bombing Iran just because Netanyahu is in the mood.
Who paid for those bridges and roads and hired the private companies??? GOVERNMENT. Government hired those words.
Oh bull@!$%#. THEY ARE NOT is paying their fair share. The wealthy have gotten a 30-year vacation with all this trickle-down policy, and the middle and lower classes are getting their asses squeezed by higher costs and stagnant wages. And as to your assertion about the American people, you fail to realize that most Americans support programs like Medicare, Social Security, and the welfare state. They even agree with ACA, when you take out the individual mandate.
CORRECTION: this election comes down to corporate capitalism vs. middle class capitalism. Romney is a corporate shill; Obama is a middle class capitalist. And by the way, if Obamacare is Marxist, so is Newt Gingrich, John Boehner, and every Republican who supported it before Obama proposed it.
Yes, the voters will decide whether the 1% should be trusted to "self-regulate" and rule America over the next four years....
OBAMA BIDEN 2012
How many mittens does it take to change a light bulb?
answer: none...they don't make mittens for "foot in mouth" disease.....
:)
If elected President and given control of both the House and Senate, the GOP will tell the American people the same thing.
...except the 1%, of course.
I just hope that when it comes to the debates, Romney actually answers the questions instead of deflecting or ignoring them altogether.
Maybe he'll have a staff member come out and tell Wolf Blitzer to kiss his ass.
He'll use a teleprompter!
Ursula, either way it he goes, answering or deflecting & ignoring, it is a win, win for us and Team Obama, Romney will still look like the idiot he is. There is no way on this earth that Romney can control and contain himself until November, he just does not have the temperment to do so, nor does he have the intelligence to answer any real questions so I expect to see a lot of frustration out of Romney in the next few months, even more so than we already see.
During the debates all you will Willard say with that Nervous Nelly laugh is " Ronald Reagan this, Ronald Reagan that, Ronald Reagan loved me, Ronald Reagan did this, Ronald Reagan did that, Ronald Reagan had a plan Ronald Reagan loved this Nation and let's name it all Ronald Reagan."
I certainly expect a self implosion from Twit any day now. As much as he has kept his mouth shut and not divulged any type of plan or platform (besides Obama=Bad), it seems that these little pip-squeak fart sound bytes still slip out just about everywhere he ventures.
And boy, do they stink up the room!
It's only a matter of time. Can't wait for the debates as well.
This trip answered any remaining questions I had re: Romney. Not only does he not relate to me and mine, he is a disaster internationally! Insults the Brits; angers the Palestinians; and his press guy goes off on the US media. What a bunch of amatuers!
You'd think a guy who has spent the last 6 years trying to get himself elected President would be better at this campaigning thing.
Maybe he should have visited Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Switzerland instead?
Romney thought he'd regain his footing in Israel, too. Oops!
Contrast Romney's trip abroad as a candidate to Barack Obama's in 2008 when he had 250,000 wildly cheering for him in Germany (which spurned the McCain "rock star" ads).
The Romney trip was an abject disaster....the racist comments to the Palestinians was a new low. The only thing that you can gather from the trip is that Romney has no place on the world stage.
NBC News really isn't a "news" network. It is a propaganda tool to get Obama reelected.
And just go to FOX for the propaganda network of the right ring nuts. Lies, distortions, left out stories that don't fit their image and then calling themselves, "Fair and Balanced."
So, you think it's okay for a candidate or his staff to show lack of decorum by telling people to "shove it" or "kiss my ass"?
MeganKI...
Blah, blah, blah.....you folks need a new playbook. When in doubt, blame the source.
How is anything that NBC reported on about Romney's foreign trip false?
Let me guess. But fox news is real news and isn't there just to get Romney elected?
MeganKI
NBC News really isn't a "news" network. It is a propaganda tool to get Obama reelected.
Fox Noise is the Republican Headquarters that collects money on air for T-baggers and the GOP which is illegal. BTW Fox is NOT news.
MeganKI - it's common knowledge that fox is a "propaganda tool" for the GOP so if you really believe that NBC is a "propaganda tool to get Obama reelected" I'd say that was fair and balanced, wouldn't you?
MeganKI- Turn on Dumb Fux, cause they have an update for trolls, tune in and learn what you are supposed to say next!
Look out Megan,
You got the liberals in an uproar. The responses are comical.
Fox halfway reported this and buried it deep in an article. However theFox article did say something that NBC did not. That the visit to Poland was not at the invitation of the Polish Government, they distanced themselves from him and issued a statement critical of him. Funny that Mitt goes to a country that was known for a major Labor Party revolution and he is such an enemy of Labor Unions.
He praises a government and country, but the current leaders of Solidarity certainly did not return the favor. They did the opposite (From Fox News):
Romney pisses on Unions, gets blasted by Solidarity and has the audacity to use the Solidarity monument in an attempt at political gain. I am no major fan of unions, but the hypocrisy here is clear.
Walesa was president for only one term, he lost his bid for re-election. His favorable poll numbers had dropped to 10%.. Seems the Polish people found out what he really was, and rejected him. He is not even a member of Solidarity.
Just like Fox is for the "Twit"
Youraloser
With over 6 years campaigning and Millions of dollars in negative ads - out spending the Democrats by more than 4 to 1 in the swing states. Don't YOU think Romney would be ahead by 10 points??? Guess he has some real issues?
"He's saying what he believes." That's why he won't talk to the press - when he does, he keeps forgetting his prescribed sound bites and says what he actually believes, revealing his true self, and that only gets him into trouble. Plus revealing that he can't think on his feet, let alone banter with the press. Simply not presidential material.
When Romneycare gets into the debates, with nobody to hide behind, the emptiness of his mind will be impossible to hide.
Obama will smoke Willard in the debates, and Romneycare will not be able to dodge the fallout.
and how is the economy doing to day? Why don't all you liberals debate that for awhile, you know serious issues that should be addressed? At least Romney didn't apologize for America, that in itself made this trip successful.
MittWit has no economic policy. If fact, he has no policy. Whatever direction the wind blows.
and Romney is not addressing them
Once again, the G-NO-P seeks to perpetuate the myth that the President apologized for America.
Again I'll ask...where is the apology? Show me an apology that the President made.
Dow hit 13,000. remind us again what it was when Obama took office. How about 27 consecutive months of private sector job growith. Remind us again how Private secotr was sheding 800K jobs a month before he took office. What other parts of your selective memory would you like us to debate.
watt75...
Want to talk economy...great! Who was it that killed the Jobs Bill, Infrastructure Bill, and Small Business Tax Cut Bill in the last 6 months (all of which were paid for, by the way)? The non-partisan CBO stated it would've injected 3 million jobs into the economy and lowered unemployment below 7%.
Who killed all three economy stimulating bills? The GOP!
You want to talk economy, then let's talk what Obama's economy would actually be without the Republicans in congress blocking every effort to improve it.
Watt75-sorry, but you sound like a dim bulb to most intelligent people. You would actually characterize Mittens trip as "Successful"? Kind of like the people who worked at the companies that Bain vulturized saying they thank Mitty for saving their jobs but closing the company? Now that's success in his mind!
All this clown does is go around saying completely stupid things, I mean he isn't even smart enough to have semi-intelligent handlers, and he can certainly afford them. I'm sure he thinks he has the female, Latino and lower-income votes sewn up! He should drive to his events in a little clown car, where he and 13 mental midgets climb out and run around the stage honking horns and pulling each other's finger. "Vote for Mittens, vote for me Mittens".
Be honest....You haven't been paying attention have you? (lol) You folks are dinosaurs, except you're paving the way to your own destruction by listening to those idiots at Fox. Read a book for god's sake. Turn the channel. LEARN something....I mean really...Racism is like the gift that keeps on giving with you folks. Lyndon Johnson knew it when he signed the CRA. Kudos to the 1% for tricking all those dumba@@ southerners to vote for things that won't improve their lives one iota. How many folks in Mississippi care about capital gains? (lol) Georgia? Louisiana? Florida? The vast majority of those people don't own ONE SHARE of stock outside of a 401k. They will ULTIMATELY rely on social security to fund their retirement and they vote for (wait for it.........) the party that wants to get rid of it. (LOL) All you can say is WOW!
DoctorLogic, you forgot to mention the bill that would give tax breaks to corporations bringing jobs back to the US and doing away with the tax breaks to corporations sending jobs overseas. In essence, you not only lose your jobs to a communist country and slave labor but you then pay for it in your taxes. How can any working class citizen even consider voting republican in this day and age.
Too bad Mitt is coming back to America. I wished he had stayed in Poland. One less Republican idiot with a room temperature IQ is good for America. Too bad we cannot deport all these dumb fux Republicans to some island and then maybe we can get our economy back on track and have some sanity and less hate in this country.
@ Watt75
Who the hell do you think 'Americans' are? If America has done something that someone should apologize for, then, it should be done! If Obama thought that his remarks were apologies, then they were well thought out! Damn, he won!
Take an objective look around you. Your sentiments about America 'apologizing' are so 1960's. It is time that you really get your head out of the sand. America is on the downward spiral because of Americans'. No one put you there and it started long before Obama took office.
Because capitalism appeals to human greed, it does not make you superior. It only leads the world down a slippery slope of economic woes and creates huge chasms between classes.
obama won the election because America was scareed to death that palin could become president if McCain croaked. When given the choice between fools and unknowns ....guess who wins? expect a repeat.
It was good to see Mitt complimenting Solidarity - at least there's ONE union movement he's a fan of. Or did he just skimp on his research again and miss the fact that trade unions were behind the rise of Solidarity?
They are calling this trip a success Wow!
Harold,
Kind of like Liberals calling Obamas first term a success...lol
see post above. lol.
Watt75 - Hope and change have worked very well for me and my middle/working class family, thanks for asking, so sorry you missed the boat!
Union Baby, I believe you, because that's where all the stimulus money went, to the unions. Hope and change has robbed my savings account, and I hate to depend on the government for a living.
the Brits got Romney's number real fast - Who is this guy Mitt Romney? Who invited him? Mitt the Twit!
The Romney campaign clearly has to limit his access to the press because every time the man opens his mouth, he steps in it. However, now it seems that the campaign must limit the campaign press aide's access to the press because he can't say anything intelligent either. Losers.
By the way, just a note to the Romney campaign - John McCain's advisers tried the same tactic with Sarah Palin. You see how that worked out. Just saying.
MittWit's visit had no purpose.
My guess is that Romney will be minus a Press Aide shortly...
Romney's got to be on a short learning curve and the pressure is on. Choreographed speeches and minimal questions... Just shows how careful he has decided to become. Probably a smart move since he has zero foreign affairs experience and has a tendency to stick his foot is his mouth.
All said and done, it's probably a good time to go ahead and announce his VP pick - take the focus off his insults in Europe, unreleased release tax returns, Swiss bank accounts, and his dancing Olympic pony!
Youraloser - no just the Romney's. Now if the Queen's great grand daughter was running for President I am sure we would have a few issues as well.
Now the Romney's would be transparent about their wealth and how it was made then it wouldn't be an issue" Show the tax returns" very simple. Don't have a problem with the Obama's because we know how it was made. Don't have a problem with McCain's because we know how it was made and inherited.
Just go to FOX and get the right wing nut case propaganda from there. Lies, distortions and left out articles and stories that don't fit their FOX image. Then the laughable, "Fair and Balanced" label. LOL!
Roger Ailes, the political hitman for the Republicans, hired to run Fox news in '86, chose the tag line "Fair and Balanced" Quote "to piss off the left".
He says what he believes. Well in Israel, what he believes angered both the Israelis and the Palestinians. This guy is dangerous, people. Really, really dangerous. Not evil. Just clueless and thus dangerous.
Romney and the GOP can "shove it"! Gawd, more of the European Embarrassment Tour!
Obama/Biden 2012
"Polish attendees interviewed before the speech here in Warsaw -- several of whom expressed jaded views towards the current U.S. administration"
Interesting International Commentary on the current administration. The apologies and hatred for America are not working. They see through this president and his incompetencies.
Several? You mean like 4 people?
He...
There's some brilliance for you.....you base your opinion on "several" people who are at a Romney campaign event. That "international commentary" (the several people) obviously speak for the entire country...right?!?!
I always get a kick out of it when people of your ilk talk down every other country on the planet but then use "several" people's comments to be proof that Obama's policies aren't working. Your argument.....'yeah, I ain't votin' for Obama because those three guys in Poland said so.'
I'd call your statement idiotic, but, that'd be insulting to other idiots out there.
This entire debacle of Romney's is so indicative of John McCain's debacle and so familiar to George Bushe's Karl Rove campaign. Romny has spent tens of millions trying to look so impressive in Europe and Israel but all that money is for naught. He is buying up "exclusive interview" time on all the networks, trying desperately to upstage Pres O. He is spending tens of millions on media hype. He is spending millions trying to buy off the local economies in Europe by throwing money at lodging, food, transportation. This article, by the way, made a statement that the Poles are not real happy with the US. That couldn't be further from the truth and Haake ought to explain where he came up with that statement.
"Vini...vidi...vicky"
I came, I saw, I Warsaw.
