Mitt Romney 'Wimp' Newsweek Cover: On Point or Over the Line?
by Free Britney at .Newsweek, which raised more than a few eyebrows this year for its covers proclaiming President Obama the first gay president and for calling his critics dumb, is out with yet another controversial political cover story.
This time, they call Mitt Romney a "wimp" in no uncertain terms.
"Romney is the genuine article: a true wimp," Michael Tomasky argues in his cover story, adding that "In some respects, he’s more weenie than wimp."
"Socially inept; often awkwardly ingratiating, at times mocking those 'below' him, but almost always getting the situation a little wrong, and never in a sympathetic way."
Romney said the story didn't bother him though, telling CBS News that "They tried that on George Herbert Walker Bush; he was a pretty great President."
Mitt's right, as seen in the 1987 issue pictured below (along with a couple of awesome spoofs we saw on the Romney issue for good measure).
Calling Romney a wimp is probably a little much, but the cover and story underscore what a lot of his critics say makes him a weak candidate.
Namely, that he's a paper-pushing corporate technocrat devoid of personality and unable to relate to regular people, and who has no core beliefs.
His supporters will vocally dispute this and laud his achievements and positive traits, of course ... while others may accept it and vote for him anyway.
What do you think: Is Mitt Romney a wimp?

Yes- they are jumping ship. How bout that "Thank you to starbucks" day! Hahaha! Gays are just to much- I sware. You can't embarrassment these walking turds no matter how much they embarrass themselves! Carolina will be a bust for Obama! They can't pay people to show up. Seriously- someone just pull the plugl on Democrats. New York post says- multiple planners and fundraisers say they have big problems. Marilyn? She just wish she looked as good as you.
@Matt It's simple--these loser lib-turds are grabbing at straws...they are not even able to clasp onto a handful of 'em either! That's thanks to what they have to work with regarding Obama's real achievements and leadership performance skills--which translate into a big "0"!!! How pathetic! How strange! But that's the type of loser supporting The Anointed One this go around! The rats are jumping ship, ha! Romney 2012!

Caps- to me? It means I must switch up because you bore me to tears even as I type to you! Those mean ole CAPS! MAMA THEY HURT MY FEELINGS! Please- get out more. Yes- I do have standards and at this moment I find myself lowering them. Is there any chance you could find one thing Obama has done or is doing to improve this country? I keep hearing- We are going in the right direction..... But the numbers don't show it- do they. Look- let me shed some light. At some time or another we were all Liberal. Then we ran out of other peoples money and we were forced to grow up. Do yourself a favor and get an early jump because you can't wing it forever!

Let me explain- bitch! You can try a sling that Mormon bullshit somewhere else. You don't know shit! Do Mormons preach hate like Obamas reverend wright? People use to nail others to the cross- now longer do that either. It's a symbol, it's a tradition of washing sins away- like baptism ... You dumb ass fool. Romneys father born in Mexico? OBAMAS - Kenya? WTF does that have to do with shit? We who have a hope for a future want his ass out and you can bet your sorry ass he will be voted out! You can cry like a baby, racism, homophobe- as you lotion your aching ass. and the 10% is not all he gives to his church! How bout you BITCH- what's your giving consist of?
