PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Ann Romney’s debut on Twitter couldn’t have come at a more opportune time.Ann’s first tweet came just moments after Democratic strategist and DNC adviser Hilary Rosen lobbed an insult at Ann Romney, suggesting that the 64-year-old mother of five and grandmother of 16 had never held a job.“Guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life,” said Rosen, who was being interviewed by CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the “war on women.”

Wow, I guess that raising 5 kids and being a grandmother of 16 WITHOUT ever taking a dime of welfare isn't a noble endeavor to some Democrats.

Democrats are trying to play the "War on Women" card, but this comment has got to be the highest insult to many women that support their husband's career and raising a family ever.

welfare lol................corporate welfare.

Corporations are people, but corporations are not mothers raising a family.

Hilary Rosen was referring to Ann Romney being one of Mitt Romney's advisers on women's economic issues, now please tell me what issue Ann Romney would be helping Mitt Romney with that he doesn't himself have experience with regarding the work that Ann did raising their children. Hilary Rosen was saying that Ann Romney has never held a "job" in her life for which Mitt could draw in her expertise about women's economic issues. But please continue being whatever you are about this.

Buying groceries
Buying clothes
Education
Child care
Extracurricular activities (for kids ie. sports, band, clubs etc.)
Paying the bills

Just because someone is a full-time mother doesn't mean they are locked away from society.

But once again, Ann Romney could have taken a bogus job as a Hospital administrator with a salary of $300,000 a year, like Michelle Obama did.

You guys call it what you will, but I'm sure a few times, she wished she had a real job.

Oh, so Mitt wasn't a part of any of the decisions about what groceries to buy, what clothes to buy their kids, where to educate them, how to pay for child care, what extracirrcular activities they should do, or for paying the bills?

Remember, I didn't say what activities did she do that Mitt Romney didn't do, I said what economic issue did she deal with that Mitt Romney was not part of.

Seriously dude? Michelle Obama was an attorney at a huge law firm when she met Obama, and she continued to be an attorney at a huge law firm for many many years until she became a hospital administration. I don't know how much you know about big law firms, but associates in them, even when Michelle was there, are expected to bill somewhere around 2000 hours a year, meaning most of them have to work 60-80 hours a week, on top of whatever other duties they have. The Obama's weren't even millionaires until after Barack Obama published his book, but yes, Michelle Obama took a bogus job for 300k as the first job she ever had, and someone would hire someone who has never had a paying job like Ann Romney to run their hospital.

I don't get everyone's fascination with first ladies.

I don't care about Michelle Obama. I don't care about whoever Bush's wife was. I don't care about Ann Romney.

When has ABC news ever attacked Michelle Obama for not working?

Never.

Left wing media is so biased its disgusting. they resort to personal attacks because they can't get support on their ideology.

Are you capable of reading? ABC News didn't attack anybody. A commentator who is purportedly
a democratic strategist did and they didn't even do it on ABC News, they did it on CNN. So your question should be, when have Republican leaning commentators ever committed personal attacks against Michelle Obama and the answer to that is:

O'Reilly:

"Now, I have a lot of people who call me on the radio and say she looks angry. And I have to say there's some validity to that. She looks like an angry woman." [Fox News'

The O'Reilly Factor

, 9/18/08]

"

On the May 11, 2008, edition of Fox News'

Hannity's America

, Hannity said: "This week, Michelle Obama still sounds angry. ... As Michelle Obama stumps for her husband to be the next president of the United States, it seems she doesn't have many positive things to say about America. In fact, her speeches always seem to have a negative tone to them. It seems her view of the United States is one of despair and hopelessness." Hannity later added: "This raises the question, why does Michelle Obama sound so bitter and angry as she campaigns for the White House?"

or how about,

WILLIAMS: Let me just tell you this. If you think about liabilities for President Obama that are close to him, Joe Biden is up there. But Michelle Obama is right there. Michelle Obama, you know, she's got this Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going. If she starts talking, as Mary Katharine is suggesting -- her instinct is to start with this blame America, you know, I'm the victim. If that stuff starts to come out, people will go bananas and she'll go from being the new Jackie O. to being something of an albatross. [Fox News'

The O'Reilly Factor

, 1/26/09]

"Well, she's got to be herself, but I do not think she can go for it all out in terms of this kind of militant anger that she sometimes uses, you know. She can be, it seems, rather cynical or dismissive of people," adding, "I don't think she wants to get anywhere near the race issue, anywhere near the militance issue." [Fox News'

America's Newsroom

, 8/25/08]

Or how about this choice image that made its way around conservative blogs earlier this year:

Attachment 40998

So there you have it, Michelle Obama militant angry black woman, I mean look at that arm.

LMFAO!!!!!! Hillary Rosen works for CNN & is not an advisor to the Obama administration. She apologized within 24 hours. Repubes are so desparate they're linking her to Obama.

That would be like me linking every one of Rush LImpball's outrageous statements to Mr Flip Flopper Mitt.

And where was the right wing media & wack jobs when Rush Limpballs disparaged a female law student who testified in front of congress?

Move along children !! Nothing to see here !!

Well when someone has more visits to the White House than the Secretary of Defense why wouldn't there be a link?

Oh yes there is something to see here, but some people can't see the obvious.

Sarah Palin: Shouldn't she be at home taking care of her special needs child?

Ann Romney: Shouldn't she be out working?

Democrats.....you can't have it both ways.

Different people who are both democrats can't have different views on the same issue? Are all democrats Hilary Rosen? Did Hilary Rosen tell Sarah Palin that she should be at home taking care of her special needs child?

She kind of seemed upset at the end. I kinda feel bad for her.

[d2bets]

It's interesting that on off-handed comment by a TV pundit not associated with Obama or his campaign is more important than the fact that Romney couldn't even answer a question as to whether or not he supports the Lilly Ledbetter Act. He was asked and his people said they'd have to get back on that. I guess they have to consult their etch-a-sketch.

[Shaudius]

I also like how the title of this thread is Democrats and in the OP carseller says, "some democrats", because you know one person saying it must mean that there are multitudes of democrats saying it or even some.

Shaudius, if any republican said something like this about the wife of a possible democratic president, you would immediately condemn the statement and rightfully so. However, because it was a democrat who put her foot in her mouth, you immediately come to her defense and try to argue the matter on her behalf.

Everytime I run into a die-hard democrat who seems respectable, I always find out later that they are unable to look past the (D) following a person's name.

I expect that sort of behavior from the likes of Golfrulz, Shafted, Turd and D2bets as they have proven time and time again what LIBERAL HYPOCRITES they truly are.

Liberal democrats just might get what they want with Obama winning a 2nd term as president. However, come the first Wednesday in November (the day after election day) they will look in the mirror and still see a reflection that WREAKS OF FAILURE stirring back at them and will continue to blame President Bush or some other republican for all of their shortcomings.

FWIW Michelle Obama has worked many days in her life. She was a practicing attorney.

http://joshuapundit.blogspot.com/200...-hospital.html

After Barack Obama became an Illinois state legislator, his wife moved up as well, scoring a job as 'vice president of community relations' at the University Of Chicago Hospital for a very generous salary of $121,910. When Obama became a senator in 2005, her 'salary' leapfrogged to $$316,962 for the same job...and one of Senator Obama's first acts in office was to see to it that the hospital received over a million dollars of your tax dollars as an earmark.

Well, Michelle has moved on,and guess what...that vital job of hers,worth a salary of over $300 K

has been quietly eliminated.

That's not true, she got a promotion, when she was making $121,910 she was an executive director at the hospital, when she was making $316,962(which she wasn't actually making that figure includes a signing bonus, you see Michelle Obama was sought after) she was promoted to a Vice President at the hospital. 317k is right around the same that other Vice Presidents at the U of C hospital make.

Furthermore, her position wasn't eliminated exactly, it was consolidated with another Vice President position.

What, said that their wife wasn't qualified to talk about economic issues because they'd never had a job? How about when Patrick Buchanan said at the Republican National Convention in 1992 that Hillary Clinton has, ""compared marriage and the family as institutions to slavery and life on an Indian reservation." and that "12-year-olds should have a right to sue their parents." Both extreme mischaracterizations of Hillary Clinton's positions, but they were said at an RNC convention, which is a lot more official than someone who doesn't represent the Obama campaign speaking on CNN.

Everytime I run into a die-hard democrat who seems respectable, I always find out later that they are unable to look past the (D) following a person's name.

I am not a die-hard democrat, believe it or not. I just see so much bullshit from the people who purport themselves to be conservatives on this forum that I think it needs to be pointed out. There are many good arguments you all could be making, but you all make such crappy arguments it makes me sick sometimes. I have no choice but to take the side of people on the left when I see such mischaracterization of facts that goes on from you, Dwight Scrute, carseller, its disgusting.

Liberal democrats just might get what they want with Obama winning a 2nd term as president. However, come the first Wednesday in November (the day after election day) they will look in the mirror and still see a reflection that WREAKS OF FAILURE stirring back at them and will continue to blame President Bush or some other republican for all of their shortcomings.

In January of this year they did a poll, 45% of people said that Bush was more to blame for the economy, in 2012! You know what percentage said Obama is more to blame? 29%(9% said both). You better believe that more than 29% of people are going to vote against Obama. But yet there it is, only 29% think he's more responsible for the economic mess we're in than Bush, 3.5 years into his Presidency as recently as 3 months ago.

Believe it or not I am mostly a libertarian. I bet you can't read it from my posts here, because I mostly can't stand the bullshit arguments you all make, as I said above. But I am also a pragmatist, and I long ago realized something.

Deficits are taxes. Sure they aren't taxes that you or I have to pay right now, but they are taxes on our children's future. The government on both sides has shown incapable of actually cutting where it really matters. Look at the Republicans go, scapegoating federal employees, protecting the military industrial complex, cutting along the edges because its whats politically favorable. They don't actually care, its a game, and the losers are us because we let it go on, we don't really say enough is enough. Same with the democrats only for them its the entitlement programs, which is no better than the military industrial complex, just a different set of mouths. The only real difference is the people are are more likely to realize it are the people on the left than the people on the right, you'll continue drinking your Kool-aid and because you're clearly racist from your desire to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964, you'll continue to hate Obama because you hear the right's racist dog whistles, and I'll continue to just shake my head and wonder what became of society.
