The media consensus has clearly been that Romney's recent overseas trip to England, Israel, and Poland was a gaffe-filled disaster. Rich Lowry, Charles Krauthammer, and Marc Thiesson disagree. Rich Lowry's Politico opinion column points out the extreme bias in press coverage of the trip, Charles Krauthammer's syndicated column praises Romney for substantive successes in Poland and Israel (two important allies that Obama has treated with contempt), and Marc Thiessen of The Washington Post notes that Romney's much-maligned comment about Israeli culture compared to Palestinian culture was completely accurate.
I'd rather have a President who gaffes by speaking the truth awkwardly than a President who gaffes by stating un-American points of view. (Think "You didn't build that" and "spreading the wealth around.")
