Romney backtracks on Olympic comments



“Disconcerting.”

That was the word that may have irked the British the most.

British media and politicians have been all over Mitt Romney for saying in an interview that he found preparations for the London Olympics “disconcerting.”

But now, the GOP presidential hopeful is backtracking on those remarks.

In an interview with the NBC Today Show, Romney now says it appears London is ready for the Olympics.

    okay Mitt try this with me:
    “I said something stupid and offensive, i was thoughtless with my comments, I’m sorry…I messed up.” See? That wasn’t so hard.

    This is UTTER RUBBISH
    it is no secret within the UK that the security company G4S has not been able to meet the quota of SECURE staff required for the Olymic games and both the Police AND UK Military have had all holidays cancelled during the games.in FACT
    rocket launchers have been installed on top of buildings in London because of the lack of security > http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/apr/29/london-rooftops-missiles-olympic-games. This is a cheap shot at Romney… and should be directed at Cameron and Fox in the UK for inadequate perparation.
