Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is in Britain on the first leg of a week-long foreign tour that includes stops in Israel and Poland.

He is to meet political leaders and attend the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in the next three days.

Ahead of the trip, an unnamed adviser was quoted as saying President Barack Obama did not appreciate the "Anglo-Saxon heritage" of Britain and the US.

LOL only 1-25 in the UK are of Anglo-Saxon decent ,
Typicaly red hair freclkes and the need for reading glasses .
the Norman French kicked their ass in 1066 and bred well,

yeah you guessed, I ain't a Anglo Saxon desendant .thankfully
my guess he is in the UK for a freebie olympic games ticket .
his main buisness will be Israel,hey, indeed phone a friend time .
just my cynical thoughts ,

Geezus , Mitt Romney's father came out of Mexico with his father around age 5-6. Where is all this anglo-saxon stuff coming from lol

[Roco]

out of Mexico ? ,
I am begining to feel sorry for Mit , the English can be so picky at times ,
he didn't deserve all this flack , it was grosly impolite and lacking in respect ,

and he was right about being concerned about the London Olympic not runing smoothly
. at the start of the olympic football , the south Korean mega big flag was raised for the North Korean team
(they walked out )
today is the day of the bells ? ,churches .big Ben etc ,
our minister of culture( ) rang a hand bell in front of live TV , it broke , the bell flew off the handle narowly mising some female WReN's ,(womens Royal Navy service
maybe the bell was made in china ? ,

[mudmanc4]

No he did not deserve that muck, yet again though it seems some media runs it out to 1000's of sites , bashing him for it.

The man knows well , as well as what the downfalls are and were , he's been on the committee at the Utah olympics. So what ? Well one would think someone with experience would have some insight , and none of his remarks were meant to be taken any other way then constructive. Yet when there's an agenda to bash the prospective president , it's an all out mess.

Oops on the bell , glad no one was hurt , crazier things have happened. As for the flag thingy , everything happens for reason. What that is here who knows. Not good though raising a flag from the wrong country, especially since the complete differences between the two.

Who was in charge of that ?

[Roco]

well I will apologies for the English take on what a Mit commented on ,
I am sure I made some awful gaffs while working in Europe ,
one I distantly remember was as guest of a fellow engineer in his house in Germany ,
they gave me an outstanding enormous meal ,
I carefully cleared the plate , only to be given another enormous helping ,
Which out of politeness I struggled through , a 3^rd helping appeared ,
Manfully I struggled on , LOL , ( I was indisposed for 3 days after that ,)
I had failed to realize, to signify you had eaten your fill you left some small amount on the plate ,
In England leaving food on the plate would indicate your dislike of the food,

Not sure why the English press turned on Mit, they themselves had been making similar comments for the past month or so , it suddenly stopped last week ,
I think a message came from a higher authority , no not God, but his Rep in England ,
( the Q ) ?

BTW, never give a Dutch hostess a bunch of flowers , another mistake I made ,
But a box of chocs goes down well .
To expediate things in Europe a bottle of genuine Scotch gets you friends for life ,
And never say to a French waiter , “Oi” garcon , have you got frogs legs ? if so hope over here ,
Never ask for a rubber in America to erase pencil mistakes in a note book
Never ask for a French letter in France , ( the call them English overcoats )
Never tell a German a joke , and expect laughter
What upsets the Brits, well not personal insults .
I have no objection to being called a Limey
Or as some say on the English forum , he is a canny geezer ,
Or Pomie ( pomegranate ) in Australia ,because we go red and spotty in the Sun ,
Or even winging Barsted ,
We call them all Bruce or Shelia ,
Anyway good luck in your elections , Just remember the Old level playing field thing ,
Indeed nothing is black and white , there are many shades of grey between ,

Regards
Roco , now a TV star in France, LOL , will explain later , once the performance cheque ( "check" America ? ) arrives
P,s
So Mit got it wrong ? as I said I am beginning to like the guy,
I might even call him cousin , LOL

[mudmanc4]

Your dinner story is hilarious , and could well be made part of a movie , see you are good for TV

Sounds funny, but then on the Mitt thingy I am sure Europe so fell in love with Obama they are afraid for the romance to end. Myself I'd still trade you for a good cup of tea for Obama. And no returns after you see him for the real thing. <wink>

[Roco]

LOL Bro I wouldn’t trade a English cup of tea for religion , yet alone a politician ,
Europe’s love of Obahma ?, not really , Its just we feel safer at night,
the geographically challenged Bush got us thinking about digging more air raid shelters,
Personally I would feel safer if America voted a St.Bernard dog as president ,
Mit , now known as mutt in the UK , is off barking talking to Israel,
as I figured , (the UK is no great fan of Israel ),
meanwhile back at the Ranch (London ) missus Obama is rushing about
visiting schools etc waving the stars and stripes and joining in the fun,
Best Regards

but "Romantic Comedy." could be worse LOL

[tommie gorman]

They all do that in politics here, at one speech they will be for farmers, the next speech they will bash farmers and what they need to continue to go on. So kissing in england and hopping over to kiss in another country is not strange here. Or for Obama to kiss babies on camera, then run off to another and speak for abortion just before breathing life and air as he puts it designating they are not real humans till they breath. (just in case you did not know his views on abortion)

PS G W Bush was not for abortion.
