Right-wing counter-spin on Romney's Olympics gaffe
By Richard K. Barry
I was wondering about this. When would some right-wing pundit suggest that maybe Mitt Romney's major gaffe in criticizing England's preparation for the Olympic games was not a gaffe at all, but a good thing?
Wonder no longer. The conservative website Hot Air says it might be time for Team Romney to offer some counter-spin, to wit:
Yes, red meat for the base, American arrogance at its finest, but I have to think most people will see Romney's comments for what they are: an embarrassing misstep by someone not prepared to assume the most powerful position in the world. Most people will see an amateur.

Who wants a president who'll tell foreign nations what they want to hear? What we need is a leader with the stones to sit down, look them in the eye, and say they need to step it up on a global event for which they've spent the past seven years preparing.
