Romney says 2002 US Olympic athletes didn't earn their medals all by themselves

http://www.americablog.com/2012/07/romney-says-us-olympic-athletes-didnt.html

"You Olympians, however, know you didn't get here solely on your own power," Romney said after congratulating the athletes. "For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions. All Olympians stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them."

Oh, so it takes a village, Mitt?

Perhaps future Olympians should be required to build their own stadiums...
