If one is relying just on the biased reporting by the liberal mainstream media, one would conclude that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's overseas trip was a failure. One recent survey found that the MSM's reporting on the Romney campaign has been 86% negative.
Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer has an article analysing Romney's trip. He declares it "a triumph." Here's some passages from the article:
The Warsaw leg was a triumph. Romney’s speech warmly embraced Poland’s post-communist experiment as a stirring example of a nation committed to limited government at home and a close alliance with America abroad, even unto such godforsaken war zones as Afghanistan and Iraq, at great cost to itself and with little thanks.
And at his previous stop, Jerusalem, Romney’s speech was a masterpiece of nuance and restraint. Without directly criticizing Obama, Romney drew pointed distinctions deftly expressed in the code words and curlicued diction of Middle East diplomacy.
Look at how Romney was received. In Israel, its popular prime minister lavished on him a welcome so warm as to be a near-endorsement. In Poland, Romney received an actualendorsement from Lech Walesa, former dissident, former president, Cold War giant, Polish hero.
Scorecard? Romney’s trip was a major substantive success: one gaffe (Britain), two triumphs (Israel and Poland) and a fine demonstration of foreign-policy fluency and command — wrapped, however, in a media narrative of surpassing triviality.

Speaking of endorsements, actor/director Clint Eastwood has endorsed Romney for president.
