I think the only thing this whole foreign trip showed is that Romney is really dumb and unable to communicate effectively without constantly offending people in the host countries. The only thing he can do is play up his position to the domestic audience, but IMO he's consistently been rude and divisive in all three of his destinations. I'm almost relieved that he's as much of an idiot when it comes to handling foreign relations diplomatically as I feared he was.

Sorry, but at least Barry H.O. knows how to speak without running his mouth at everything he doesn't understand, and getting most of everybody outside the continental US angry at him. In the globalized society that we live in, you really need a leader who can not only represent American interests, but also respect others' and be able to participate in talks in a way that's forthcoming and balanced. All Romney's even tried to do on this trip was to score points with his key electorate, pump up his own apparent good qualities (arrogance and inability to meaningfully compromise apparently among them), and shamelessly raise funds with powerful lobby groups. And the best he could do with actual political leaders whom he doesn't see eye-to-eye with is just bluff and fake his way through. Ugh. Bad show. I hope he pays for it with moderate votes that he doesn't get.
