So in your mind Romney didn't actually say what the press reported but made it up?
BTW you left out that Walesa's union doesn't endorse Romney. Since he's firmly anti-union it's odd that Walesa would.
Romney's alleged "huge gaffe" in the U.K. was to ask if they had adequate security and organization for the London-hosted Olympic Games this week, and honestly addressed the obvious problems there. Which the British and global press acknowledged for weeks prior, and since, is absolutely true of Romney to say. But the liberal meda re-packages it as "How dare Romney says that!"
The "Big gaffe" in Poland is that Romney ignored the badgering of reporters who shouted at him, "what about the gaffe Mr Romney, what about the gaffe?" While he was at a memorial site. Romney subordinates repeatedly asked the reporters to respect where they were, and be respectful, and finally rightly told the reporters to "shove it". Romney said nothing, just ignored them.
In Israel, Romney acknowledged the capital of Israel to be Jerusalem --which Israel has claimed since taking it in the 1967 war. It was not a gaffe, but a strong expression of solidarity with Israel (in sharp contrast to Obama's scorn for Israel and Netanyahu). Yes, the U.S. has not recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, but it was a clear expression of no daylight between Romey and Israel if he is president.
And the "gaffe" about Palestinians being less sucessful than Israel economically is also true. And underscores that Palestinians for decades have hosed away all their resources on terrorism and outright war on Israel, when in truth they could have an economy on a par with Israel's, if not for their own choosing of war over peace.
Only the Jerusalem remark approaches being an actual gaffe. But as I said, I think it was calculated and not a slip of the tongue.
