Romney on "wimp" headline: I don't care what media says

CBS News) While traveling in Israel on a foreign policy "listening tour," Mitt Romney said he's not a foreign policy wimp, which is how he's depicted on the latest cover of Newsweek.
"If I worried about what the media said I wouldn't get much sleep, and I sleep pretty well," Romney told CBS News' Jan Crawford during an interview Sunday in Jerusalem.

"They tried that on George Herbert Walker Bush. He was a pretty great president and anything but," Romney said, adding that he doesn't "recall" ever being called a wimp before.

Romney's interview came shortly after his senior adviser, Dan Senor, said Mitt Romney would back an Israeli attack of Iran if all other diplomatic options had been exhausted.

The Republican presidential candidate softened the statement but reaffirmed his support of Israel.

6. Thanks for your contribution.....

15. given his craven efforts, always with back up don't you know to slag everyone who

ever bothered him, this mutt must be seething about things, given that he can't take scissors to everyone out there who hates him which is just about everyone.

2. You know what they say Mittens...

The truth sometimes hurts!

BRING on those debates...he's gonna be all twitchy and stuff, the more he lies.

5. true to conservative form

the liberal press is out to get me...(you wont have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore verse 576)

7. The bad word on the cover is ...

Insecure, not wimp.

John Kerry got called a wimp and everything else. But I don't think he was called insecure.

Big difference as well with John Kerry having trash thrown at him all the time and Mr. Mittens sitting there and acting like a doo-fuss.

17. "Wimp" isn't such a hard narrative to counter

"Insecure" though... There's nothing you can say or do to make that one go away, and it ties in well with "flip-flopper." Just the act of saying that you're not insecure reveals insecurity.

8. "I am Not a Wimp!"

Gotta love it.

I think I heard something sorta like that in about 1973, when another Republican politician was in the process of imploding.

9. "I'm not a crook" . . . Nixon

"I'm not a wimp". . . Mittens

But he is over in Irasel behind closed doors spouting how America will support their crazy desire to start World War 3 by giving them our children to die on behalf of money while the 1-2% profit while their children are having pool parties.

10. Wow, that is almost too much truth in one sentence ....

12. GHWB was CIA. And he served in the military. YOU are CC (country club) with 4 draft deferments. n/t

[grasswire]

13. it was Senor who said that??

Wow. That's some scary.

[firenewt]

14. He doesn't care what the press says - no big deal really. But it also evident he doesn't care what

he says. That is a big deal.
