Gov Romney Press Pool Report

 

Subject: Fayyad spray: CNN VIP Pool Mitt Romney Trip to London, Israel and Poland

Spray of top of Romney meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

The two men walked through a door over to two dark leather armchairs in front of an ornate panel. They shook hands. A small vase of white flowers sat on a marble table in front of the chairs.

Romney:
“–going to stand here for a moment. Thank you Mr Prime Minister, I appreciate it.”

Romney:
“I didn’t realize you were in London until you just mentioned it.”

Fayyad:
“Yep!”

Romney:
“What an experience that was.”

Romney (it seemed to me he particularly emphasized the first sentence):
“An entertaining and delightful opening ceremonies. Wasn’t it spectacular? It really was. And the march of nations. There were many participants. And they sent women from every country.”

Fayyad:
“From every country.”

Fayyad answered something about Palestinians and the Olympics but I can’t make it out.

Romney paused, smiled to reporters, they sat down. Pool ushered out.

+Note this was shot at the King David Hotel. The two chairs were set up in the corner of a large room, kind of a makeshift office.

+One of the stills guy’s cell phones was ringing almost the whole time.

+We have dropped tape that will be fed from bureau.
