RED KEN is what they call him, and it has nothing to do with the stupid Dennis-The-Menace hair.

When the same thging happens in Rio in 2016 look for the MSM to be offering whining asides from Moose and ex-prez Obumfuk on why it SHOULD have been held in Chicago.

Good for Mitt! I never questioned his business skills or management ability. IMHO, his success in managing the 2002 Olympics was partially due to his wealth and connections, but that type of stuff only goes so far. Lots of folks have wealth and connections and they royally screw things up. While the 2002 Olympics were a very public event, I hold his success as a father and at Bain Capital in higher regard.

Surprisingly, one of the biggest media voices to come to Romney’s defense was Piers Morgan…

When that leftist slimy limey comes to ANY conservative’s defense, let alone Mitt Romney the situation has to be pretty plucked up. The media is 99.87% partisan hacks (thats a pseudo-scientific estimate for the pseudo-intellectual media elite).

In all fairness, alot of the complaining could be the result of a ‘government’s going to provide us everything wonderfully’ expectation.

“Oh, my goodness, the United Kingdom, they’ve had a phenomenal year. I mean, they’ve pulled off a major wedding, a Diamond Jubilee and now, the Olympics. They know what they’re doing.”

.. Moose .. roar.

Fill those empty stadium seats with soldiers.
Good one.

So a man gets vilified for stating what is factually correct and another man is vilified for saying what is his faith.

I ask you, how far are we from not being able to speak at all?

Unless it is the party line.

Thumbs up for Mit knowing foreign affairs.
But,apparently he didn’t know that criticism is a one way street with the Brit’s, similar to are prog’s.

I hope that only! inconvenience and annoyance is all that happens during the Olympics.

“Lots of folks have wealth and connections and they royally screw things up.”

And most of them seem to be named Kennedy.

Romney should have kept his mouth shut. Who cares if he’s right… had some British pol visited the US and said that the reaction would have been the same.

There’s being correct and being smart. Romney only got 50% of that.

why would the media be any different in the uk?
and the mayor looks like an austin powers wannaba.

He’s run an Olympics, so I thought he was perfectly entitled to be critical.

Bingo! The money quote.

@Harrison — Governor Romney was asked a question. He’s entitled to respond. And…he responded with the knowledge he learned while managing the 2002 Winter Olympics. And his statement was factual. So he was both correct and smart.

Looks like Romney has some of that Palin mojo going for him.

Two days in and this thing is begining to look like a cock-up. The good thing about Romney getting villified in the brit press is that when the situation gets worse the people will remember what he said and what the mayor (among others) retorted with. Then I’d be interested in what the press begins to report.

“I hope that only! inconvenience and annoyance is all that happens during the Olympics.”

Amen to that, @theJadedBarrel

In the weeks leading up to the games the british press were constantly whining about the poor state of preparations. The company charged with security had to be bailed out by the military. It was a termed a “national scandal”. Then Romney shows up and states the obvious and they all go nuts.

@Mark Zist — It’s called shooting the messenger.

Now I’m pissed. I knew this shit for a few days but I kept my mouth shut. Now, the mouth opened with a few cocktails,he,Romney, Responded to a question.
Let’s go back. For some weeks before the opening of the Games, the British Press, and British politicians, were bitching about the failure of a private Security company hired by the IOC. Te British were bitching about having soldiers just back from Afganistan having to soldier security duty. The commander of the Military was pissed and expressed his pissedoffness in public. It was a clusterfuck.
They Romney was asked about it and stated the facts. He did not run about the bush and talk bullshit.
But the liberal press, both here and abroad, called him a twitt and tried to castigate him.
For as long as I have been voting I notice that politicians will always say somethin to please, but never mean it.
Mitt Romney is a speaker of truth, a breath of fresh air.

If you’re going on a ‘charm offensive’, you should really try to avoid, as the UK’s Telegraph newspaper so wonderfully put it, being ‘utterly devoid of charm and mildly offensive’. Top tip: when you’re just about to go to, or are at, a party — especially _the_ major event in years, don’t offend the host. Maybe Mitt Romney was, rather disconcertingly, if I may say so, a little unprepared for it. Hope he can get his shit together better than this for the rest of the campaign trail. Actually, I take that back.

A private security firm — a global player — gave its assurances that it could deliver — who knows if that was, at best, a hope, or, at worst, a lie. They failed — and then had the cheek to still want paying in full! It fell to the state, in the form of the armed forces, much to their understandable annoyance, to rescue capitalism’s failure (does that sound familiar to you? Bailouts, anyone?). The mystery girl who joined with one of the procession teams had full security clearance to be on the floor of the stadium, because she was — wait for it — one of the volunteers helping run the ceremony. From the images shown, she is consistent in her looks and appearance with the members of the team she almost certainly deliberately, specifically chose, suggesting she is of the same heritage and, thus, supporting ‘her team’, albeit with a little over-enthusiasm. Hardly a security breach at all, let alone a ‘so bad’ one. As far as protests go, I’ve yet to see one interfere with the Games.

The seats that are empty are ones reserved for the ‘Olympic family’: corporate sponsors, and others. If they can’t be arsed to turn up, or manage their affairs in such an efficient way as to know where they will be from one day to the next, it beggars belief that they can keep themselves in their businesses or jobs. But, maybe, you don’t need to be that hot on these things if you float in the easy-going, mutually understanding upper echelons of corporate capitalism. However, in just a few days, something was done about it when the organising committee asked (yes: contractually, they had to _ask_) for some tickets back — and got three thousand as a result.

As the media reported, yesterday, live, there have been no traffic problems, with relevant Tube services — including at normally rush-hour times — remarkably quiet. And plenty of people are in the Park.

The food and water provision did cause delays but that was quickly put right.

Haven’t heard anything about lost keys. But, £40,000 seems a lot for a set of keys; must’ve been made of solid gold; or, maybe, there was an awful lot of keys.

Piers Morgan simply said that the security was a shambles, but that, as I said, was the private company’s fault, letting everyone down; they were the unprepared entity.
