i'm joined by carl lewis, an american sprinter and nine-time olympic gold medalist. great to have you on, mr mr. legend. >> thank you very much. >> mr. lewis, if you were just tell me what went through your mind when you first heard about mitt romney's comments yesterday. you were a seasoned olympic veteran. what did you think about what he said? >> well, i guess i look at it differently. i was frustrated, and my comments came out of frustration. as you know, i have been in four olympic games. two of them in my own country. i actually witnessed the volunteers and the hard work and the dedication of all these people. and i have been to so many games and it's always a lot of work to get them finished. but they're always ready. and you know, i was here in london for the 500-day launch, i was over here -- i was at the olympic committee event 100 days out. i followed the process all the way stlou, and i knew how hard these people were working. it was a little frustrating to me because governor romney actually ran the olympics so he knows how hard working those difficult si

absolute prohibition of doping is finally some of the world's best athletes like lance armstrong carl lewis and barry bonds have all been implicated in doping and it's likely to fire because the substances that athletes are using to die just mimic the natural substances in their body that their body naturally produces like growth hormone it's been impossible to do things the people who get caught today are the incompetent athletes or those with relatively few resources or do you mean relatively few resources i mean are you suggesting that the ones who get caught thankfully don't have you know the best of drugs the drugs with more invisible ingredients i think you know there is a fair number of people who are trying to do this themselves and get caught i think it was of iraq in athletes it was just recently banned. substances like growth hormone and indeed you can even three transfuse your own blood now now that's virtually impossible to detect if you do this properly you're really not going to pick up the vast number of people you're really seeing the tip of the os that given the huge rewar

but this comment from carl lewis may be tough to sweep under the table.te, sometimes i think some americans shouldn't hereof the country. are you kidding me? stay home if you don't know what to say. however, the romney campaign is unconcerned about his gaffes. louisiana governor, a romney supporter said, we're not worried about overseas headlines. we're worried about voters back here in america. romney's foreign policy continues tomorrow with a trip to israel and meeting with netanyahu and other meetings in poland. romney gave israel something more to talk, signing a bill for funding for short-range air defense known as iron dome. >> obama: what this legislation does is bring together all the cooperation we've seen at an unprecedented level to israel security. >> eliot: while romney insisted he would not criticize the president while overseas he had harsh words for obama before he left. he claims situations could have been avoided if obama had followed the agenda set by were bush. president obama webbed the freedom of agenda and we are seeing a whirlwind

plus, olympic legend carl lewis said mitt romney should stay home if he doesn't know what to say. ins me live from london tonight. >> it's another conservative lie that just won't die. you won't believe the new numbers about president obama and islam. and you won't believe how the romney campaign reedited his naacp speech to make it look like he was a big hit. all that, plus director peter bogdanovic on gun violence in movies. ellen burstyn on obama versus romney, and jay roach on art imitating life in his new movie. >> after cam brady's punching incident, he's jumped 11 points in the polls. >> mitt romney's splash across the pond may be engolfed by the games in the pond, but by the scathing estimation of the brits and the head shaking wonder of romney's usual allies here in america, the candidate himself continued his mile-long walk back and in fact, mitt romney hasn't talked this much about the olympics since 1988 when he took a break from outsourcing american jobs to

and on his way to double the field and track star, carl lewis. phelps said these london games are his last, and for all time, he's made a lasting impression. >> reporter: michael phelps is 27 years old. and that is an advanced age for a swimmer at that level. and as we've seen this week in london, he's not as dominant as he was in his prime, but it's clear that his achievements will stand the test of all time for what he's already done. back to you. >> mark, thank you. >> phelps has three more events to swim in london, giving him three more opportunities to add to his record medal total. >> well, a severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for parts of maryland right now. it is a warm tuesday evening as we take a live look outside. looks nice right there, though. let's check in with meteorologist bernadette woods and bob turk, tracking live doppler radar. >> we have two warnings now. one storm moving out of montgomery county, into frederick county. that's until 5:45. the other storm, as we have been tracking it just to the west of columbia. right

"gma" weekend anchor, bianna golodryga is here to explain. bianna? >> good morning to you, josh. this was the first time we've heard from mark zuckerberg since the disastrous ipo two months ago. revenue growth is falling and that's a big concern. when it comes to the future of the company, we learned that half of facebook users are now logging on to the site with their smartphones and blackberries, the company has not figured out how to maximize profits through mobile advertising. and as a re

i remember cheering on mary lou, nadia, carl lewis, so many others.n awe of those athletes. my family, i remember we would sit together for hours watching these men and whimper form fetes of speed and grace that would have us cheering at the top of our lungs. my brother and i would dream about maybe one day if we worked hard enough, we might be able to achieve something just as great for ourselves. and the olympics was particularly powerful for my family for another reason, as some of you may know, my father contracted ms in the prime of his life. in a matter of several years, he went from a man who was once a thriving competitor, he was a boxer, a swimmer throughout high school, and then he was stripped of all of his hopes, so he thought as an athlete. my father wasn't able to walk without the assistance of crutches, but he retained his love of sports, truly, and the olympics was a special time for him to watch amazing athletes of all abilities compete on the world stage. >> the first lady also led about 1,000 students and children of u.s. military p
