The Economist didn't have to look too far to find this week's cover. In fact, it chose an image that may be the most retweeted of all time.

The picture, which went up on Twitter early Wednesday morning East Coast (U.S.) time, showed President Obama embracing his wife Michelle with the tweet "Four more years."

The Economist, known for its center-right take on U.S. politics, used the image to suggest that Obama should "Now, hug a Republican." While the "leader" making that argument hasn't gone live yet, a few fans have already taken the publication to task for the suggestion.
