Gibbs: Romney embarrassed the U.S. in London
Posted by
CNN's Ashley Killough
(CNN) Robert Gibbs, senior adviser to President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, argued Sunday that Mitt Romney's recent trip to London was an embarrassment.
"Mitt Romney wondered aloud whether London was ready for the Olympics, and I think it's clear that voters in this country wonder aloud whether Mitt Romney is ready for the world," Gibbs said on ABC's "This Week."

Gibbs wasted no time Sunday morning going after Romney over the comment.
"To go overseas, stand in the country of our strongest allyand the Olympics that they've been preparing years forand question whether or not they're ready, does make you wonder whether or not he's ready to be commander in chief," the former White House press secretary said, later adding, "I thought it was embarrassing for our country."

(19,458 posts)It's like having a Mom that is odd... and the family knows this and loves her. But your brother brings an acquaintance from work to her house and he proclaims at the dinner table that your Mom, who is sitting right there, is "odd and eccentric" and see how well that plays out.

(27 posts)I guess we can assume that when Romney, falsely, accuses President Obama of not "knowing what it's like to be an American", Romney thinks the land of 'foot in mouth' disease only exists at home and not abroad?
