CRAWFORD: Let me ask you one final question Governor about the Olympics, which you know well. Obviously have a lot of people have been very upset this week to learn that our uniforms were manufactured in China and now an American company has come forward to say that they will make them here before the Olympics, do you think the Olympics committee should take them up on that?
GOV. ROMNEY: You know, I don't know the particulars or the circumstance, so I really can't comment on that. I presume they have sponsors that are associated with uniforms, and matters of that nature, so I'm not going to weigh into the decisions made in that regard.
CRAWFORD: Do you think the uniforms should have been made from the outset in America? Should that have been a priority or does it trouble you that our uniforms, for our US Olympic team were made in China?
GOV. ROMNEY: I think I really responded to that already, I don't have any further comment that what I've already said.

If that jackass was asked a question about mom and apple pie he would punt.

(41,986 posts)Breitbart is already claiming the uproar over the Chinese uniforms is really to set him up over the Canadian ones. And he might be right. And I'm still enjoying the whole thing immensely.

(19,458 posts)Tell that to the people that lost everything when the textile industry went overseas. What a nincompoop. He can't even answer a direct question like that!!!
Guess his money and his handlers told him to never answer anything directly, so that they can't pin anything on him. Or he's just a clueless flip-flopper, too vapid to answer intelligently.

(4,775 posts)I thought the real story of that interview was when she asked Mitt if Obama should apologize for accusing Mitt of criminal behavior in lying about what he did when for Bain. It looked to me like a question that had been carefully selected beforehand as a way to let Mitt come out of the interview on the offensive and looking like a winner. Disgusting.
