Is Ann Romney or Pres. Obama more in touch with reality?

I find it humorous that the party who elected a President who had no experience at all at a real job, who's parents left him to be raised by his grandparents, who admitted he wasn't ready for the job of President due to lack of experience, who claims the Republicans are waging a war on women, are attacking Ann Romney.

The party who happily accepted Obama's sympathy towards people who attacked Hillary Clinton for diminishing the work of MLK Jr, (as if), during the democratic primary, and using dirty tactics to win "against a woman"- in fact using the same terminology he used against that Hillary also "the comment was ill-advised". However, Clinton's comment turned out to be
Prophetic - Obama couldn't bring Congress together like Lyndon Johnson and his "ability to give good speeches" has been useless. And Obama is no more concerned about women this year than years 1,2,&3.

Obama has a record for most "present" votes- instead od yes or no- in the Senate, when everyone else knew what the issues were and had the respect for the job to actually vote yes or no.

Obama didn't care enough to educate himself over the debt ceiling when campaigning- calling Pres. Bush "unpatriotic" for raising it- now, he raises it- no plans to address it- TOTAL contradiction- and Dems have the nerve to question Ann Romney's experience?! Give me a break.

    Obama lived most his life like the average American does. Worrying about money, how to find a decent place to live, pay the rent, etc.. raising their kids w/ both sometimes working, and so on. Our President was raised by a single Mom most of his childhood too. And our First Lady was raised by a family of very simple means. Both know what it is like to have to struggle to make ends meet. They have lived it.

    But.. that said, and I know Mrs. Romney has probably had plenty of hired help with her kids and house, but.. still, she was the one I bet who was up with them all night when they were sick, taking them to the doctors, getting them ready for school and 5 boys? That is a lot of diapers to change, plus everything else a mom just plain does. And no matter how much help she could get, she was probably exhausted for years. So I give this woman plenty of credit too.

    Seems like the Romneys have a very nice family, just like the Obama's are, so kudos to all of them.

    Ann Romney has been the quintesential mother and homemaker, raisi five beautiful boys who are successes in their own right. She, erself, has battled two major diseases and BEAT THEM. ALL KUDOS and APPLAUSE for her. At least the Romneys are capitalist and not dictators.

    Ann is classier than Moochelle ANY day of the week.

    Finally, I can deal with a Mormon much better than a lying Muslim ANYDAY! Ann Romney

    Ann Romney is only talking out both side of her mouth at once to help capture votes to elect her husband. That's what it all about!

    That's what wives who stand by their political husbands do, nbtt, . . . they talk straight out about them. You married? Maybe if you were, you would understand that dynamic of marriage in a political climate.

    If you are NOT married, then it's excusable.

    Gary Johnson is a Muslim?!?! That's as ridiculous as saying that Obama is Muslim. Show me the evidence, 'cause I'll not be voting for a Muslim either.
    “It is clear…that Muslims hate the West in the very terms of their faith and that the Koran mandates such hatred. ‘Believers make war on the infidels who dwell around you.’ (Koran 9:123) Anyone who says that the doctrines of Islam have ‘nothing to do with terrorism’ …is just playing a game with words.” Sam Harris from “The End of Faith”

    He is the only candidate who seems to be telling it like he sees it rather than pandering to the electorate. As long as the American public keeps electing panderers, they'll not again elect a statesman. We get what we deserve.

    I agree about Paul...who I've supported even though I don't agree with him on all issues. (But then I don't agree with anyone on all issues.) I was referring to Johnson as one of the 3 choices for president.

    Ann Romney probably has some, in touch with with reality, but she has lived a life of privilege, and can't know what it's like for a middle class family to pay their mortgage, food for the family, and pay the bills. That is with stagnate wages for working people. So Obama has lived a life that most people in this country have lived.

    Not many people started their life with parents that were different religions, dad walked out, Mom dropped him off at Grandma'a to live (she didn't die when he was a child), he wen to Harvard, Michelle & he made 6 figures while in Illinois. She was a VP on a hospital board making 6 figures. You really don't know your man do you?

    The way he was brought up proves that he lived a more difficult life that a lot of children in this country didn't have the difficulty he had, and yet he made the ultimate, that children of privilege don't usually get. Also that he made 6 figures after college shows that a kid with all the obstacles, still could become wealthy. This is what the American dream supposed to be, no matter how difficult your childhood was, right??? So thanks you really made my case. what you brought up was a better example than my original comment!!!!

    Ok Mr. ADHD, my point is that he doesn't know what it's like to struggle & be poor. He was provided for and cared for very well by his grandparents. My ex boyfriend lost his parents @ ages 5 & 7. He couldn't remember them, partly because his Aunt & Uncle stepped in & gave him a good home & adopted him. He got a trust fund when he turned 18. I can tell you you're giving him far more "experience", then what he deserves. He does NOT know what it's like to be poor, or struggle. That's why all those speeches he gave about wasting money on gov instead of helping the kids in the inner city were a big sham. Just like his claim to have passed a bill on mandatory reporting of nuclear waste leaks- in his district. Never passed such a bill, in fact HIRED David Axelrod who was a consultant for the polluting Nuclear plant to be his campaign manager, & Excelon Nuclear is one of his largest donators! "I will not take money from special interests!".

    You clearly don't know much about him, and even if he led you to believe he passed a bill requiring a neighboring nuclear power planet to report any leaks- and you found out he mislead you because it was politically convenient, you'd probably still stand up for him- who cares what residents believe while they drink nuclear waste right? Google: NY Times, Nuclear leaks, Obama, Excelon. If you can stand that, then search YouTube: MSNBC Obama oops 6 times. Yeah, he's just so great.

    I didn't say he was poor, but as you stated he had a lot of disadvantages. Like you said he had to over come being mixed race, different religions, and not living with 2 parents, and look where he got too. A Lot of other middle class kids didn't have these obstacles!!!

    I'm actually a democrat who CARES about NOT creating another Fannie & FREDDIE crisis BY not promising things we can't sustain or afford VERY CLEARLY. And when fools actually "BELIEVE" that the rich are "the answer" when they can't be, you all don't really care how it will all cave in on those you were "claiming" to help. The learned helplessness is DANGEROUS. We should have learned that from Fannie & Freddie!!!! Yes, it's people like the Dems in the housing crisis, and dems supporting the health care programs that loaded it far beyond what it needed to be, making it ridiculous- that HURT the less fortunate, and RUINED their credit, their expectations on what's reasonable to buy with what they make, ruined their economy by messing with the value of housing by flooding the market with buyers, and now to give them healthcare at the cost of ignoring stabilizing the economy and securing jobs---> while also setting a horrible "expectation" of what they should make or stay on government assistance? THIS is what's also hurting THEIR economy (and ours) and the recovery, as well as the jobs numbers. IF you really cared, you'd give them the realistic and responsible expectations like WE give our kids so they could actually take care of themselves--- "no job is beneath you". But I guess our kids deserve to understand responsibility, more than those "poor dumb unfortunate people" who need us- right?

    Jeez you really are short on facts, but you are good right wing minion by repeating lies by your propaganda machine. First place it wasn't all Fannie and Freddy, it was the big banksters also. Yeah you left out that little piece of morsel. Then when 12 years of Republican congresses kept chiseling away bank regulations, it was bound to happen. This country never had a bank go defunct from after FDR created bank regulations until the Reagan administration. Then when Jr. got in we had the worst crash since 1929.

    Since you are beating up the poor for government assistance what about your billionaire bosses getting all their welfare??? Don't they have any responsibility??? Yeah I didn't think so!!!

    There you go, quote, "but you seem to be an expert on Obama's life." Unquote.

    All I know is all the misinformation he, himself has put out there, for the general public to consume and it doesn't always add up to other narratives he's made. Liar, comes to my mind first, in an effort to appease those whom he felt he could manipulate into whatever he wanted or needed at that particular time. It's hard to keep up with lies, but truth always stands and doesn't change.

    OR maybe he's confused, since he has many cranial scars on his head, that alone could explain many things, like illusions of grandeur that has permeated the Oval Office for the last 3.5 years.

    But alas, that information is not available to the voting citizens of America either, with the BC, passport, college records, etc.

    I KNOW that Romney is a capitalist, a Mormon, a married (to Ann) man with 5 handsome sons. His dad George was the Governor of Michigan.

    Mitt is presidential, cool under pressure, a good speaker and quite handsome to ME. Other women may not think the same as I do. But it's NOT his looks that will pull America from the precipice of Islamic ideology, Wall Street greed, and the NWO catastrophe.

    I'll be able to look at him for four years without disgust and dislike running through my every American fiber, unlike now.

Mittens wont release but just one year of Tax returns, and he arrogantly says he will not release any more. What is he hiding??? This is unheard of. Every candidate in modern times have released several of their returns. His father running in 1968 released 12 years of returns. Is it about all his money stashed in foreign banks???
