Romney 'absolutely convinced' of London's Olympic readiness
Romney 'absolutely convinced' of London's Olympic readiness
LONDON — Mitt Rommey sought Friday to tamp down the controversy stemming from the concerns he'd raised about London's readiness to host the Olympic games, saying he was "absolutely convinced" the city was ready for the games, which open tonight.
"I'm absolutely convinced the people here are ready for the games," Romney told NBC's Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview.
Romney has been lambasted in the British press for two days after telling NBC's Brian Williams on Wednesday that there were"disconcerting" factors in the lead up to the games, which prompted a minor uproar that culminated last night at a rally in Hyde Park, where Romney was called out by London's mayor Boris Johnson.
“I hear there’s a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we’re ready," Johnson shouted to the crowd. "He wants to know whether we’re ready. Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes we are!”
