Is Ann Romney an inspiration?

Not enough to be first lady she isn't.

I don't know her but I know she has raised good children has been a good wife, has suffer illness that many have not. She is attractive, supportive to her husband and family. What more does she need to inspire?

Only to her husband.

Yes, except perhaps to the terminally liberal & permanently 'progressive.'

yes she is an inspiration, but I am not voting for her husband.

LOL

yes

Mother Teresa was divine inspiration for me, who worked unselfishly her whole life to help the poor in Calcutta.She is real inspiration. Mrs. Romney is nice and a inspiration to her family and that is important as well.

Surely you don't expect all inspirational people to live up to mother Theresa?

No I don't but, but what Mrs. Romney did is nor more special than a close friend of mine Nancy who had cancer but took care of her husband with Leukemia and worked full time and raised her children while going through chemo, and later developing breast cancer and still surviving. No money but what great determination, and a heart of gold as well.

Yes, and you were inspired by her yes?

why is Ann Romney less special? Because she has money? How do you know her heart is not gold? She seems very nice.

She is inspirational to her family just as my friend was to her family. Real people do those things all the time with a lot less in life than those well off. It is a different look on how we as individuals perceive someone else and having been dirt poor I have never looked up that much to the rich as anything special regardless of what they do. Perhaps it is a difference in class and life's experiences.

John, you contradict yourself.

Life is a contradiction

About as inspirational as anal warts.

What do you have against her?

She hasn't worked an honest day in her life, and whatever health pitfalls she may have overcome she has her husband to throw cash at it, while most americans don't even have health care, and she supports overturning Obama care so most of us will never ever get it. I'm not suggesting being a stay at home mom is not work, it's just how many of us have round the clock nannies to do the stay at home work for us? Lucky her. Inspiring, NO. Out of touch, yes.

Are you kidding me? There is no cure for MS no matter how much money you have.

Raising 5 children with two potentially fatal illnesses and being the first lady of Mass, is not work?

Cry me a river lady.... Romney sucks, and so does she!
-Cheers

You are really an angry person.

Have a great day, if that is possible for you.

Not angry, just honest. I have no ill will toward you whatsoever. I bet we would agree on many things outside of politics and even be SH friends. Politics is a very divisive sport. The kitchen can get very heated. Great icon by the way! :-)

Thank you.

Anyone who can deal with both Cancer and MS with the grace she has, is an
inspiration.

Indeed.

I think was she did In Mass. is praiseworthy, but she is not an inspiration.

A qualified yes.

With her position - and unfortunate fate of having MS - she is uniquely qualified to be a high-profile spokesperson for MS sufferers. It is a debilitating illness that could use a champion such as Ms. Romney.

Ann Romney is fortunate that she can afford the best medicine that money can buy. Most are clearly not so fortunate. Many - if not most - with MS are not able to work. As such - many - if not most - need public assistance in order to survive.

The problem is: her, her party's - and her husband's politics - prevent her from being able to come out in support of positive health care policy that could help MS sufferers, or finding a cure. Her party rails against public assistance - which again - is required by so many who share her disease. They need it not to thrive....but just to survive.

How can one have the disease - while watching your party, and your husband - rail against the things that are so necessary to others with your same disease?

Not yet.
I'm sure for many however.

she is a real lady, always been proud to be american doesn't whine or complain about the cost of a good pair of earings, and never attended a rev not so wright in the head sermon
which is to her credit.

Ok... all of those reasons were dumb. She is way better than that stupid crap. Of COURSE she never complained about earrings, she has hundreds of millions of dollars. I agree she is an inspiration, but none of those things rises to the level of inspiring to the average person.

She's seems to be a very nice lady, with definite health issues, but let's face it. She's no Lily Ledbetter working in a tire factory. Ann says all women have choices. Well, Ann, that is a lovely Republican thought. But I'm pretty sure Lily was not thrilled to work day after day with tires and then try to squeeze by with a meager check, far less than men in that factory who were doing the same exact job. That probably wasn't her choice.

None of that had anything to do with Ann Romney.

I really like her , she is Genuine and sincere & appears to Love our Country and her Husband , all good attributes for a First Lady ....................

As is any good mother!

Maybe for some but honestly I know women who have had breast cancer at 35 and 2 little girls another one of my closest is a single mom who manages to find time to put herself through nursing school while working at hospice while coping with her MS, so I am more inspired by the women I am fortunate enough to call friends.

So breast cancer and MS and 5 boys is not difficult enough for you? I see.

that's not exactly what I meant more that I'm inspired by people I know personally.

Ok I do understand that. I too am more inspired by my grandmother, and my dad. I see what you are saying.

Didn't mean to sound snarky.

Anyone that has to live with a disease like MS is an inspiration. Anyone that overcomes cancer is an inspiration.

It doesn't matter gender, race, income, faith or party. These are hard things to deal with.

Not an inspiration to me at all. She's just another politician's wife.
