How long can Romney go (overseas) without putting his foot in his mouth?

First Romney puts his foot in his mouth with his comments  about the London Olympics. If that was not bad enough, he more recently put his foot in his mouth with comments about Palestine. I do not profess to have “the answer” on how to resolve the ongoing issues between Israel and Palestine, but I think it’s fair to say that alienating either side (even temporarily) is not going to help an already difficult situation.  

Romney recently praised the Israeli healthcare system for requiring everyone to have insurance…and the government’s involvement in controlling costs. After implementing a mandate in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney tries to distance himself from. After trying to paint himself as the candidate opposing government involvement in healthcare, he not says government can play a legitimate in healthcare. Does Mitt Romney even have a position on healthcare that last for more than a month?  

Romney is really on roll overseas, and not in a good way. The more Mitt Romney opens his mouth, the deeper a hole he digs himself in. Mitt Romney must have missed the cardinal rule: if you’re in a hole stop digging.
