"Guess what?" Rosen said. "His wife has actually never worked a day in
her life. She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues
that a majority of the women in this country are facing."
Immediately Obama Campaign Manager called on Rosen to apologize and said that family should be off limits saying this: I could not disagree with Hilary Rosen any more strongly. Her comments
were wrong and family should be off limits. She should apologize.
Ignoring advice Rosen Doubled down on the Ann Romney insult: "I am raising children too," Rosen tweeted at Mrs. Romney. "But most
young American women HAVE to BOTH earn a living AND raise children. You
know that don't [you]?"
She also had this to say about the calls for her to apologize: Spare me the faux anger from the right who view the issue of women's
rights and advancement as a way to score political points. When it comes
to supporting policies that would actually help women, their silence
has been deafening. I don't need lectures from the RNC on supporting
women and fighting to increase opportunities for women; I've been doing
it my whole career. If they want to attack me and distract the public's
attention away from their nominee's woeful record, it just demonstrates
how much they just don't get it.
Ann Romney only made a single response: "I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work."
My take on this is BAD FORM HILLARY ROSEN. Have you learned NO lessons from Hillary Clintons "Tammy wynette stand by your man" comment? The furor from that should've taught you a very big lesson. You were called on by your peers to apologize and I will go on record demanding that you do so. If women are lucky enough to be able to stay home and raise their children and they choose to do so, that is not a reason for ridicule. Also bear in mind that Mrs. Romney raised 5 children, while suffering from the debilitation disease known as Multiple Sclerosis, which attacks your central nervous system. I think she knows a little bit about what hard work is.

"How does that statement by Michelle even compare to this?? Michelle wasn't talking about her family, or her job as a mom. She was speaking about her not being proud of America before Her husband was elected... that lack of pride offended people."
and YOU SAID: "Wives can be and are made responsible for ANY of what they say on the campaign trail even Ann Romney, and it will draw others opinions of it fair or not."
--Dodging. you tried to compare the two, I called you out, you said I'm biased. Which makes no sense.
*walking away*
She worked hard, her efforts at home balancing medical issues while raising children and EVERYTHING that goes along with it should not be discounted by Hilary Rosen simply because Rosen doesn't take the time to consider different people choose different paths in life.

Romney as a candidate is a free-for-all of bad positions. How insipid must one be to go after his wife given that?
I couldn't care less whether or not she apologizes - her remarks were petty and speak for themselves. But I will point out to our lib/prog friends - it's statements like Rosen's that make people break out in laughter when libprogs talk of "civility" in political dialogue.
Like: Reviewing their school-work / curriculum - teaching them to read / write / process information / form conclusions, make decisions and act on them, set goals and accomplish them, logic / reason etc.. Meeting teachers. Knowing their friends AND their friends parents. Teaching them healthy habits / eating etc. Instilling proper behaviors. Teaching them the right / wrong ways to deal with their own problems, emotions etc.. Simply being there for them and knowing what is going on in their life, what problems they're dealing with, what's important to THEM. Seeing to it that YOU are the person they come to when they need help with something - that is not easy - you have to earn their respect if you want them to respect you like that. And then actually having the answers / advice / information etc. to give up when they have a problem. Discipline. Aiding them in becoming an independent individual.
Everything else is secondary to all that.
Most Moms (and I'm fairly certain many would agree with me here) consider it a privilege to be a Mom rather than an obligation or job. But to say it doesn't require work, or to suggest that by acknowledging it takes hard work means one is lazy - that just blows me away.
Empathy is a specific trait that separates human from animals. May be God forgot to give you some???
