Is Romney trying to lose this election and who is advising him anyway?

Mitt's campaign advisor. I gotta get whatever they have been smoking @ team Romney
when they came up w/ this idea.

At least Hillary herself had an idea on how to campaign, even if she had a team of losers.

Mitt has no clue and neither has his team. It's really quite remarkable to watch.

They are obviously trying to change the subject and make him look like a player on the world stage.

The only difference this makes is now there will be awkward footage of him being an out of touch asshole in foreign countries.

What person or person(s) thought that this was a good idea.

London he visits bankers for a fund raiser and gets seen with his rich
"hobby horse" @ the Olympics.

Poland .... Will Mitt insult the food in someway or another.

Israel ..... A diplomatic mine field. Is Mitt going for the fundy "the world is gonna
end" when Jesus comes back to earth @ the Temple Mount vote?
