Eugene Robinson: Romney stumbles through his world tour
By Sheila Samples
How is Mitt Romney's summer vacation going? Fine, except for frequent pauses to remove foot from mouth. To put it mildly, Romney is no genius at reading the mood of an audience. But even he realized things were not going well when he saw tabloid headlines such as "Mitt the Twit" and "Nowhere Man." Romney wants to project bold confidence. Instead, he radiates blind certainty. All around the world, people can tell the difference.
