Mitt Romney 'Wimp' Newsweek Cover: On Point or Over the Line? Aug 3rd 2012, 13:58 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 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; at times awkwardy ingratiating, at times mocking those “below” him, but almost always getting the situation a little wrong, and never in a sympathetic way." Romney said it didn't bother him though, telling CBS News that "They tried that on George Herbert Walker Bush; he was a pretty great President." He'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 people say makes him a weak candidate. Namely, that he's a paper-pushing corporate technocrat devoid of personality and unable to relate to people, with no core beliefs on issues. 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?
