Considering the series of foreign policy missteps from  Romney’s campaign, I wonder if he regrets the resignation of Richard Grenell – his initial foreign policy spokesperson. Grenell was forced out in May because he is gay and Romney wanted to appease the Christian Conservatives he continues to pander to.  One cannot help but wonder if Grenell was still working for Romney if his foreign policy gaffes would have even happened.

– In July criticizing the London Olympic games just after arriving in London on the eve of the games starting.  More on this story here from FOX NEWS

– In August suggesting Jews are “Culturally Superior” to Palestinians.  More on this story here from Huffington Post

– In August omits any mention of War in Afghanistan at his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.  More on this story here from MSNBC

– In September asserting that Russia is America’s number 1 enemy; overlooking nearly a decade long war against our real public enemy – terrorism and terrorist organizations like Al qaeda.  More on this story here from US News & World Report

– In September his statements regarding the killing of US Ambassador in Libya results in admonishment from conservative peers. More on this story here from NYT

You reap what you sow Mr. Romney. You should’ve kept Grenell, because you look like a bumbling amateur right now.

Mitt Romney was videotaped without his knowledge at a fundraiser recently.  MotherJones, a liberal website, released the tape last night.  Here is an excerpt of what he said.

There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax…[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
