Tom is right about him never really having the foreign press in the first place though. Hardly surprising, since America is among the most right wing democracies (though I hear your boy Harper is giving us a run for the money.)

As to this particular debacle, as Ghav notes, Romney still insists Obama is a terrorist sympathizer even after the facts have become known. I am not sure we can even call it a dog whistle anymore; the whole point of dog whistles is that they are inaudible to everyone but the target demographic, and Romneys is rather overt.
