We are now fifty days away from the American presidential election and unless Mitt Romney’s campaign team has one hell of a October surprise lined up, I think its already over.<\/p>\n

Last week people were already saying it when Romney decided that a press conference set up mere hours after an American ambassador in Libya was murdered was a good time to go political and start campaigning on how he had a better foreign policy credentials than Obama.\u00a0 That was a pretty shitty and awful thing to do but then Mitt Romney is a pretty shitty and awful guy.<\/p>\n

I guess he was keen to try and bolster his foreign policy credentials any way he could after the Summer of Mitt world tour where he offended Britains when he questioned their Olympics readiness (America’s greatest ally), implied that Jews in Israel were culturally ingrained to be adept at making money, gave a throwback to the Cold War when he called out Russia as America’s greatest threat (?) and then challenged China and sabre-rattled about imposing economic sanctions on them (they replied and said that was ironic since dealing with China was how Mitt made a lot of his money).<\/p>\n

It’s like he’s purposefully trying to lose.\u00a0 This campaign is going worse than the immediate aftermath of the Sarah Palin nomination.\u00a0 At least that was the Vice Presidential nominee struggling to name a newspaper that she read.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I wonder whether Mitt just thought he had the whole thing in the bag and could just strut into the White House in November, Gangnam style.<\/p>\n

Today things, got a whole worse (again).\u00a0 Poor dude looks like he didn’t even get a chance to sleep in before they shoved him in front of a podium to front up to the press.<\/p>\n

Romney was asked about a leaked video to his donors where he talks about the 47% of Americans that don’t pay income tax.<\/p>\n
