Mitt Romney aides ‘say David Cameron was taken for a ride’ by Barack Obama

The source complained that Cameron’s performance seemed to show a “lack of
experience” and was seen as “not very skilful”.

Romney’s advisers on European policy were said to have voiced fears that the
Prime Minister may even have “infringed” the special relationship between
the US and Britain.

The aide told the Guardian: “It’s curious. What Cameron did is ironic, seeing
that a few days later Obama said he was neutral on the Falklands. Cameron
was taken for a ride by Obama.”

He said he had been called by an embarrassed British contact who told him: “I
don’t want to talk about it [Cameron’s toast]. I’m just sorry it happened.”

Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for the Romney campaign, denied there was any
tension with Downing Street.

She said: “The statements and facts reported in the Guardian story concerning
the campaign’s plans and thinking are wholly inaccurate and demonstrate that
whoever conveyed them has no familiarity with the campaign’s policies or
decision making.”
