or at CSNBC or maybe MSNBC, both previous employers.

BUT actually would prefer to discuss what is happening with issues facing the country rather than this !! Any takers ??

I can support that accuracy about Ann Romney never working a day outside the home because I have been following the Romney's ever since Mitt ran to the left of Teddy Kennedy for the senate in 1994 when he was pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage and pro-univeral health care with an individual mandate.

You folks can say what you want about Ann Romney...I would much prefer discussing real stuff, but gotta say....impressive resume and she can stack up quite well with any of those on here who want to demean her.

And they try to say this isnt class warfare !!!

So you're on board with casting stay at home moms as useless creatures who live off the larder provided by their husbands.

That's an outrage. I'll be expecting your apology to women immediately.

(She's nobody, she's a nobody; quit talking about Ms. Rosen like she's anybody who matters!!......ha ha ha; liberals crack me up)

It is becoming a bit ...not sure of what word, but some folks are not happy unless they demean somebody else....must make them feel good....

MEANWHILE....what about real issues

You're right as always Bucco, but sometimes it's just too much fun to play with the foibles of the left.

donjha just love the next day calibrations!! She meant to say "outside the home"!!!!! Y'all must think folks are asleep or that they accept what is doled out like the loyalists do. Uh-Uhhh we don't.

I want to see and hear how this is all going to play out as the mothers of our children who had a full time job raising children are demeaned by the dems war for or on or what ever women.

No matter how it is cut the stupidity of the remark and the defense being played cannot win the point that staying home to properly raise the children is the more noble track for a wholesome family. H I can't wait for the comment that will come eventually that goes something like the women with children have chosen to be part time mothers. Is that an igniter or what?

All it proves is the tremendous stupidity that a political ploy gone bad can come back and bite.

On the horizon? Many more stupid positions to come as the WH and re-election planners roll the dice on who takes the point on the next WAG (wild a$$ guess).

Ann Romney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You are saying that Mitt Romney was pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage, and pro universal health care. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...husetts,_1994?

This does sound more like someone who is running for election in Massachusetts.

TWO points to be made and made in this piece..

ONE....She works for CNN and has nothing to do with the White House...RIGHT

"There's also this telling and damning fact: Rosen, reports Jim Geraghty, has visited the White House 35 times.

That's "four times as often as CIA director/Afghanistan commander David Petraeus, three times as often as Defense Secretary/CIA director Leon Panetta, twice as often as Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki or Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and slightly less often than Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner." And five of Rosen's White House meetings, Geraghty notes, were with President Obama himself.

Given these facts, it's clear beyond a reasonable doubt that, despite their caterwauling, the Obama reelection campaign has been in bed, so to speak, with Rosen. She is their political surrogate and lackey. And, last night, they sent her out on a search-and-destroy mission to take out and discredit Ann Romney."

TWO...everything this White House does is for political purpose and nothing else....

"But what does it say about our commander-in-chief that he and his staff devote more of their time to consulting with a partisan hack such as Rosen than they do a veteran military commander such as Gen. Petraeus?

America may be at war overseas, but the Obama White House cares only about its own domestic political wars."

The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Hilary Rosen Fails to Execute Obama's Mission

Hilary Rosen: Ann Romney and Working Moms

"Now let's be clear on one thing. I have no judgements about women who work outside the home vs. women who work in the home raising a family. I admire women who can stay home and raise their kids full-time. I even envy them sometimes. It is a wonderful luxury to have the choice. But let's stipulate that it is NOT a choice that most women have in America today.

Why does this even matter? It matters purely because Mitt Romney put the issue of his wife's views squarely on the table." From above linked article.

And here is Mitt Romney saying on Jan 4, 2012 that people on welfare must go to work no matter the age of their children. Explain the discrepancy, Mitt.

Really, nobody appreciates how difficult it is to be a proxy mom.

With all those people working for her, I would call her job "Middle Management." That's as hard a job or harder than most "working" women.

Maybe, but if you have watched Downton Abbey the management is usually done by one of these "servants". Not sure how this really works as I have never been in this position but would bet that most of the personnel mundane stuff-- which a middle manager in the business world would handle--is handled by someone akin to a butler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler

After I retired I did a part time stint working in a day care. What an eye opener. Mothers would bring in their babies at eight weeks old. Many would cry and moan how they hated having to go to work. More often than not I would see them leave in a Lexus, BMW etc. I would look up their address and they would be living in a very up scale neighborhood. Nothing wrong with that, but don't cry about how you have to work. People tht I knew got off work at 3:30 wouldn't show up until right before closing time. Many people who stay home with their kids do it at a great sacrifice.

You are so right Sally Jo!

Mitt Romney says that stay at home moms "need to learn the dignity of work". Did that apply to his wife when she was a stay at home mom? It looks like Mitt stepped in it again.
