Romney’s foreign trip is the mainstream media’s coming out party in favor of Obama this electoral season, an obsessive nit-picking the likes of which Obama has not seen since ever.
John Hinderaker has it right:
The Most Striking Thing About Mitt Romney’s Overseas Trip…
…has been the press coverage. It has been hypercritical, to put it mildly….By any reasonable standard, Romney’s trip has been successful. Yet press coverage has been unrelentingly negative.
