Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

Which makes Rosen's comment simply nothing more than an attempt to disparage the Romney's for political reasons. :shrug:

I'd love to hear what Rosen says about Romney in private:mrgreen:


probably something along the line of "breeder" and some of the other lines I used to hear from the radical lesbians towards women who bore lots of children

Same as, for lack of a better term, what I would like to hear what you say about us liberals in private TurtleDude. (I used for lack of a better term because I don't want to hear what you say about us liberals in private lol.)
 
Id like to know how many Nannys she had over the years raising her 5 boys....look no matter how you look at this, it boils down to common sense.
Did Ann Romney ever have a Job...No!! she did not....She raised 5 boys like millions of other moms...and its alot easier to raise 5 kids when you have 100,000,000 than it is to raise 5 kids and HAVE to go to work everyday and come home and have to raise them and cook and clean and try to pay the bills and keep the ship afloat among ALL the other things mothers do..
My wife had 5 kids to raise and she worked full time 6 days a week mostly in salons and eventually owned a few and ran the business'
 
Won't dispute any of your post.


But for all the screaming about the "rich" from the left, guess who is the biggest, richest, Libby financier - George "The Billionare" Soros. You don't hear any Libby complaining about how Soros got his money. I'll bet the French could explain how the Old Pirate got a few of his millions. But then the Libbys can't see past their hatred for Ms. Romney as a stay at home mom, to take a look at Soros.

Oh its More that Soros. Try Gates, Lady RothChild, Most of your Hollywood Elite all multi-millionaires,and let not forget good Ole Warren Buffet and Rockefeller.

The difference is that the liberal rich people view their wealth as luck, as apposed to the right who view their riches as something they worked hard for and therefore earned. The right feel entitled to the money that they have.

Me, I tend to falter to the side of humbleness as apposed to the side of greediness.
 
it is amazing that the defending of the dnc lady continues. As well as the 'assumptions' about the romneys and their lives.

Oh, I lied, it's not amazing at all. It is expected some people will continue to beat the same drum, never mind that data has been put forth which invalidates their opinions.

It disturbs me that you seem to imply that this is a bad thing.

Not sure where the humility vs. greed thing comes in. (Isn't the opposite of humility "arrogance"?) I do think, though, that I am entitled to the money I earn.
Because I've earned it and it's mine.
 
And of course by contrast, you'd say the Michelle Obama is in touch with the average American mother?

"Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin, where she first met her future husband. At the firm, she worked on marketing and intellectual property.[SUP][4][/SUP] She continues to hold her law license, but as she no longer needs it for her work, it has been on a voluntary inactive status since 1993.[SUP][46][/SUP]In 1991, she held public sector positions in the Chicago city government as an Assistant to the Mayor, and as Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development. In 1993, she became Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit organization encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies.[SUP][19][/SUP] She worked there nearly four years and set fundraising records for the organization that still stood 12 years after she left.[SUP][17][/SUP]
In 1996, she served as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, where she developed the University's Community Service Center.[SUP][47][/SUP] In 2002, she began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs.[SUP][48][/SUP] She continued to hold the University of Chicago Hospitals position during the primary campaign, but cut back to part time in order to spend time with her daughters as well as work for her husband's election;[SUP][49][/SUP] she subsequently took a leave of absence from her job.[SUP][50][/SUP] According to the couple’s 2006 income tax return, her salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals, while her husband had a salary of $157,082 from the United States Senate.

And your point is what? That Michelle Obama isn't the regular US mom? You are absolutely right about that, she is not a regular mom, but she is not being used by her husband as his public advisor/source about the hardships of regular women.

Luck? So then what you're saying is that Libbys don't work for their money, it just comes to them via luck?

You da*n right I've worked for what I have. I didn't see anyone handing me any "luck" when I was struggling to make ends meet. I got up at 3:30am, on the train by 5:00am, in the office at 6-6:30am and working until 4:30pm for all my "greed".

I would sure have liked some of the Libby luck and I wouldn't have worked a butt kicking schedule like I did for my "greed".
 
It disturbs me that you seem to imply that this is a bad thing.

I may of painted a picture I didn't mean to. Yes, people should be rewarded for hard work, but why is it that our system is set up to only reward such a small percentage of our population when the rest of us work hard and don't even see a percent of that?

Just as you can expect sleazemeisters to try to uncover sordid secrets that will play out in "shocked" 24-hour news cycles and blah-blah-blah. Nothing new here, sadly.

Are you saying that you don't think that a doctor should make a lot more money than a fast food worker? If not, I don't really know what you're saying.

Sure. The President doesn't talk to his wife about his daily duties. He says to her - "listen little woman, you know you can't possible get your little brain around these situations, leave that to me".

No, I am merely saying that because of the system that we have, only a few can be rich and live the good life; therefore, this is why I used the word luck. You don't will yourself into a conducive environment for learning, you don't will yourself to have good parents, you don't will yourself not to have clubbed feet, you don't will yourself to have a high IQ, therefore you cannot will yourself to be rich; furthermore, you then cannot expect the other hard working Americans to feel like they have been taken advantage of by a system in which they have no control over; therefore, they demand that these lucky people give back to a society that they have reaped such a huge benefit from. In a sense, humility.

No Josie, I'm saying that you don't, in reality, get the choice to have the good life. You are born into a circumstance with backgrounds in which you have no control over. Someone who is born into a rich family with caring and loving parents is statistically more likely to have a higher paying job than someone who is born into a family that only provides a life long emergency for that child.

Like someone mentioned Rosen herself a CEO of the Radio Industry.

All people have to do with the big picture is take a look at NY NY, Chicago Illinois, and L.A. California.....all city and state governments led by the left and with Keynesian Economics to see some truths. Thats the 3 Largest cities in the Country and making up for over 1/4 th of the nations Debt and Economy. Over 75 yrs of ruling in majority, dividing people up, taxing everything, living with the highest costs in the Nation, and now looking to file bankruptcy anyway they can to get rid of their massive debts. Never paying off those debts and always spending money. Everyone else's but their own.

Rosen still got a lick in with her apology after Obama chided her. It shouldn't be surprising tho. Wassermann Schultz was the DNC attack dog all last year and the year before. Always making the rounds on TV. It's a wonder the people she represents gets anything for their community with as much as she travels all around the country on their taxpaying dime.
 
Our conservative "friends" take exception for comments made about Ann Romney being a "stay-at-home mother"

BUT

when Michelle Obama attempts to focus public attention on the problem of childhood obesity in America, which of the GOP presidential candidates is first in line to heap "self-serving" criticism and ridicule on her initiatives - Mitt Romney!

Conservatives heap criticism on Michelle Obama's campaign against childhood obesity
February 27, 2011

WASHINGTON -- Former first ladies Barbara and Laura Bush worked to end illiteracy. Nancy Reagan famously took on teenage drug use. Lady Bird Johnson planted flowers. But none of them have been seared for something as seemingly benign as calling for kids to eat more vegetables, as Michelle Obama has.

Just about everyone will agree that the nation's children are getting fatter and that obesity is a serious health problem. But the first lady's push for healthier meals and more exercise, which marked its first anniversary this month, has provoked a backlash from the right, who complain that the only thing here that's supersized is Big Brother.

..... And in January, some conservatives even suggested that Obama was endangering people, blaming an increase in pedestrian deaths on the first lady's campaign by saying that Americans were putting themselves at risk by walking more.

..... Earlier this month, Mitt Romney, addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, peppered his remarks with digs at the first lady and her husband.

Ridiculing President Obama's purported move toward the political center, Romney joked that the president's rhetoric had shifted so radically that "he sounded like he was going to dig up the first lady's organic garden to put in a Bob's Big Boy," Romney said.

Later, while equating Obama's economic policies to Marie Antoinette's purported line about the French peasantry -- "Let them eat cake" -- Romney corrected himself.

"I'm sorry," he crowed. "Organic cake."

Well, yes. That's life - sometimes it sucks. What is your solution to this so-called problem?

How about Ms. Obama give him some ideas about money management. I'm sure she has a household budget to manage, yes? And she probably has to stay within that budget, yes?

Or maybe being a stay-at-home Mom, her opinion isn't worth a hill of beans, like Ms Rosen said.
 
Id like to know how many Nannys she had over the years raising her 5 boys....look no matter how you look at this, it boils down to common sense.

My wife had 5 kids to raise and she worked full time 6 days a week mostly in salons and eventually owned a few and ran the business'

Probably would have been nice if you'd have helped her a bit, don't ya think?

So what do you propose that a city like Chicago does? Cut taxes on the rich and cut government spending? You would be leaving one of the poorest cities in our nation with nothing to live for...

Wealth redistribution :)

To give those who don't have the fair shot, a fairer shot. To say that life sucks is an understatement. To say that someone people have a terrible life and are a victim of their childhood is a correct statement, which would mean we should help these people out.
