Romney Criticizes London Olympic Preparation

I was fairly surprised when I heard about Romney's criticism towards the preparation of the 2012 olympics in London, England. London was very offended by this criticism and I can see why. The cabinet member in charge of the Olympics responded, "When we have the opening ceremony tonight and we tell the world that eight of the world's top 10 sports were either invented or codified in Britain – and only two in America – I hope Mr. Romney is watching." 


If I were to be criticized of not being prepared for an event that I had plenty of time to plan for, I would be mad. Why in the world would you criticize London on preparation of the 2012 Olympic games when they had at least a 4 years to prepare. That's like telling someone their not prepared to play in the championship game when they had all season to practice. 


Romney shouldn't have even been judging the preparation of the London Olympics when it hasn't even started yet. I thought that London prepared a tremendous opening ceremony for the start of the 2012 olympics.

Then later Romney decides to back down from his criticism on the London Olympics. I think this makes him look sketchy and just shows that he lacks the ability to make up his mind. 

Do you think London was well prepared for the 2012 London Olympics? Would you be mad if you were criticized on an event you had plenty of time to prepare for?

  1. I think london was prepared aside from the little security thing they had. Although they did recover and everything is going just fine ! I would be extremly upset, just because Mitt did the salt lake city games doesn't make him an expert. I mean people do different things in different ways. To me this shows that he is very much so incapable of not being a jerk. He has his head a little too high up there. A future president should have good if not the best skills in talking with other countries. Not saying ," Aha , you didn't do something right".

    Childish

  2. In my opinion, Romney has no business in saying something like this. Why should he care anyway? That puzzles me. I'm like, "Who do you think you are Romney". If I was criticized by him, I certainly would be mad. Furious in fact. Romney, as Mahogany said, is being really childish. He just wants attention. But yeah, it does show that he's sketchy. At least Obama doesn't criticize things he has no business criticizing.
