Romney's Tough Day in London

Search for tweets on Mitt Romney's trip to London and the results are decidedly one-sided. The press can be notoriously tough on visiting Americans, and Mr. Romney was no exception. His comments -- and how they were interpreted -- strirred up anger and strong defenses of the London Olympic Games.

    Looks like Romney's had to learn the hard way that only we're allowed to rubbish our Olympics.

    Thank you Mitt Romney. If anything can make the whole UK pull together behind the games, its a patronising US republican telling us we can't

    Romney paying price for coming to London for photo-op rather than to say something substantial, eg on the economy #romneyshambles

    Serious dismay in Whitehall at Romney debut. 'Worse than Sarah Palin.' 'Total car crash'. Two of the kinder verdicts #romneyshambles

    Got to say politics aside that Hyde Park speech by Boris was classic! #London2012

    Wish I hadn't managed to get the TV to work. Mitt Romney makes Boris look like an attractive proposition.

    Think I preferred Cameron's passive aggressive retort to Boris' public mocking, we do the former a lot better. #romneyshambles

    Obviously Mitt is auditioning for the role of Otto in a remake of A Fish Called Wanda. There can be no other explanation. #RomneyShambles
