CBS asked Rmoney about the Olympic uniforms

[XemaSab]

CRAWFORD: Let me ask you one final question Governor about the Olympics, which you know well. Obviously have a lot of people have been very upset this week to learn that our uniforms were manufactured in China and now an American company has come forward to say that they will make them here before the Olympics, do you think the Olympics committee should take them up on that?

GOV. ROMNEY: You know, I don't know the particulars or the circumstance, so I really can't comment on that. I presume they have sponsors that are associated with uniforms, and matters of that nature, so I'm not going to weigh into the decisions made in that regard.

CRAWFORD: Do you think the uniforms should have been made from the outset in America? Should that have been a priority or does it trouble you that our uniforms, for our US Olympic team were made in China?

GOV. ROMNEY: I think I really responded to that already, I don't have any further comment that what I've already said.

[rufus dog]

17. Yup

I actually give the reporters credit for asking the question. (Assuming they knew about his 2002 Olympics)

[XemaSab]

19. IT SHOULD BE SUCH A SOFTBALL QUESTION!!1!!!

"Governor, do you love America?"

"Duhm, you'll have to ask my press secretary about that."

[FSogol]

3. Doesn't want to upset China.

[Gman]

4. They've stated they're going around the MSM

and will deal primarily with the RW nut media (seriously). So he's not going to do or say much for CBS or any other similar, perceived unfriendly media outlet.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

5. What a slimy, sidewinding jackass. n/t

[nolabear]

6. Yeah, well, "his" Olympics made them in Canada so he doesn't want to talk about it.

Breitbart is already claiming the uproar over the Chinese uniforms is really to set him up over the Canadian ones. And he might be right. And I'm still enjoying the whole thing immensely.

15. Funny. I just Googled and saw Canada. Maybe it's a Canadian company (Roots)

that made them in Burma. All the better.

[Pilotguy]

10. And he's the guy that's going to get tough with China?

[Politicalboi]

11. Of course he is

We just won't make our uniforms in China. That'll teach them.

[progressivebydesign]

13. Wow! Are you listening America?? For some folks that is more devastating than the Bain stuff.

Tell that to the people that lost everything when the textile industry went overseas. What a nincompoop. He can't even answer a direct question like that!!!

Guess his money and his handlers told him to never answer anything directly, so that they can't pin anything on him. Or he's just a clueless flip-flopper, too vapid to answer intelligently.

[RBInMaine]

16. I think he wants them made in China. He probably owns stock in that Chinese company.

[dreamnightwind]

18. They asked if Obama should apologize

I thought the real story of that interview was when she asked Mitt if Obama should apologize for accusing Mitt of criminal behavior in lying about what he did when for Bain. It looked to me like a question that had been carefully selected beforehand as a way to let Mitt come out of the interview on the offensive and looking like a winner. Disgusting.

20. "I think they should be made in Myanmar, but NOT Burma!"

[Kalidurga]

21. GOV. ROMNEY: I think I really responded to that already, I don't have any further comment that what

my response would have been "No you didn't." Ok play back the tape and have him show me where he actually answered the question.

[Marie Marie]

22. Why does Romney hate America?

23. Memo to Interviewers: Twitt can't handle followup questions.
