Romney raises British stir

Mitt Romney caused a bit of a stir when he questioned whether the British are ready to host the Olympic Games. The GOP candidate is traveling abroad in an effort to show he can represent the U.S. on the world stage. British Prime Minister David Cameron assured Romney that Britain can deal with the task.



           Gamesmanship

Mitt’s mingling with the Brits
To show he’s just the man
To represent us overseas,
Insisting that he can.

His visit coincides
With the British launching pad
For summer fun we all await:
This year’s Olympiad.

Mitt stirred up British ire
Without really naming names;
He has his doubts, he says,
The Brits can run the games.

Dave Cam’ron seems to feel
That Romney’s out of line;
And wants the world to know
The Brits will do fine.
