"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.

Obama made the economic situation worse. He added $5 trillions to our national debt, more people are out of work, more houses are being foreclosed, more people on food stamps, more children/ women are in the homeless shelters, gas price double under his watch, and the bail out he gave to his friends and supporters failed to "trickle up" as he promissed!
And, why should Ann Romney give up her first amendment? Michelle didn't! Look at the First Lady and what she has been saying in campaign/fund raising events.
Please don't hand me those same old talking points that will NEVER be resolved by 2 people that have little common grounds in politics..
Nobody told Ann to give up her 1st amendment right...By the same token, no one is going to sit back and allow her to speak for people she can't iden with or have experiential knowledge of...She seems like a sweet woman...But thats it...She can speak and PEOPLE can criticize her...
Did Obama lost a son we don't know about??? Look up empathy vs sympathy and see the differences.
You have the right to not listening to Ann but you were attacking her right to speak her mind. Very much in line with the "intolerant leftists" remarks one sees every day.
Mitt and Ann gave up/donated their inharitance from his father to the church for programs that helped, women, poors and children.
Geesh, look it up!
Mitt:
" 'Well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues,’ she said. ‘And when I listen to my wife, that's what I'm hearing."
Congratulations. (sarcasm alert)
