Spoiler
Romney needs to toughen up and realize negative campaigning is part of running. IF he expects everyone to bow down to him and give him and apology or kiss his pinky ring then he go back to running Bain. Washington and America are not filled with "Yes whatever you want sir" people.

Something Romeny has only been accustomed to in his career. So he is not in a position to fire anyone and he is certainly NOT in a position to tell anyone to give him his apology ESPECIALLY our President. Romney's party should apologize to him for running and them knowing he will lose. Such a shame
Not a sissy??? He rides a girls bike and can't even throw a baseball.

So you think it's acceptable for the Obama campaign to accuse their opponent of being a felon. Noted. The problem for the Obama campaign is that one of the few things going for it is his "likability" factor. The more he does stuff like this the more voters will start seeing through the "likability" charade. And the media acting as a campaign surrogate for the Obama campaign rather than reporting the facts on the ground feeds his false sense of security, lest he forget that the media is one of the least trusted institutions in America. That's why Romney is gaining ground while Obama flounders.

Maybe they should have consulted Bain Capital to help turn 'em around.

"Dodging the press, hiding his tax returns, and fearing the base"— the 'Wimp' factor!

Hmmm, hadn't really thought of it that way before, but yeah, it does seem to be a common denominator... especially if you also include that bit about dragging several of his h.s. buddies along (just in case) to go assault another kid, or supporting the Vietnam War, then getting himself a deferrment (4 times!) while working class kids went into the meat grinder, or even his current habit of throwing his own advisors under the bus to save himself... what a guy!

Since Newsweek is such a nonparitisan publication...lol. What is embarrassing is Newsweek...period. I thought that rag was out of business. The fact that they would stoop to such lowclass tactics speaks loudly about not only their readership, but about how desperate the liberal left really is.

This is just a recycling of the media's HW Bush 'wimp factor' meme from 1988. HW Bush, although he never talked about it was a big time war hero in WWII, and later of course became CIA director, so the 'wimp factor' meme was absurd.

The media is like Hollywood, not really all that creative and intelligent, which is why they have to keep recycling the same movies from 25 years ago. Perhaps with today's media (and Hollywood) it is not the most gifted who rise to the top, but those who are best at schmoozing and networking.
