And this guy wants national office?
Mitt Romney, while saying we need to improve our education standards, could not resist taking a gratuitous jab at France:
“We cannot continue to have an excellence gap with the rest of the world and intend to remain the economic superpower and military superpower of the planet. That’s just not going to happen,” Romney said. “We’re in a position where unless we take action, we’ll end up being the France of the 21st century: A lot of talk, but not a lot of strength behind it in terms of economic capability.”
I guess that’s the way to court conservatives in this day and age: insult other countries who don’t follow along, even if they have been and continue to be your allies.
