Wow, way to spin that story.
Obama did exactly what he should have done, which is immediately indicate his disagreement with the comments. I wish all politicians would do this. Unfortunately, many politicians like to ambiguously play both sides, Republicans just as much as Democrats.
How many personal assistants does the average stay-at-home mom have?
Why aren't people pointing out how people worth $250 Million don't worry about:
paying bills
time management
cleaning the house.
making dinner
doing the laundry
picking up the kids
They don't answer their own phone. They have an assistant do that for them.
You forget that managing 4 maids is a FULL TIME job.
What do you mean so what?
That's what makes mothering and being a stay at home mom so stressful - if you have all that covered: what's to fuss over? :shrug:
1. Aunt Spiker had a great answer to this question.So what? ....
Why do you Foxies never include links?
It's called the press corps.
So what? ....
So, she works for the DNC for free. Because they're not paying her.
And she gets paid to be a pundit on CNN.
Hmmm?
Let's figure out what that means.... She... works... for... CNN. Period.
Since you have all the info, you tell us what she did there on each visit.
Who was paying her salary on her most recent visit???
She works for CNN.
Period.
Stop clinging to the Fox News lie.
It's getting embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you.
You mean like the endless attacks on Michelle in the '08 campaign? Wingnuts calling her a racist? Attacking her over her college papers? Making crude remarks about her appearance? As usual, there is no bottom to the right wing hypocrisy pit.

A lot of my time was spent clipping coupons and planning meals to figure out how to make 7 meals happen when only spending money on the ingredient for 5. . . time and money management just doesn't become a factor in your life if you don't have a reason to manage it.
I experienced a lot of guilt - money was very tight but we made it work and usually at the sacrifice of something the kids needed or wanted or I needed or wanted. Things would have been completely different if money just grew on trees - instead, I felt horrible for my husband who was the only one supporting all of us: it was exhausting to him and that strained our marriage for a while.

My favorite is when adults turn into 13 year old girls and say, "You're just jealous."most of us went thru similar situations, but most of us worked thru it, aren't bitter about it, or jealous of those who started out better or had it easier.
Romney likes to pretend that his wife is in touch with the struggles of the average American.
The average American doesn't worry about the caterers bringing enough champagne flutes for the toast.
The average American doesn't worry about their recovery time after a little nip and tuck work.
The average American doesn't worry about their stylist and dress designer not seeing eye-to-eye. Or do the architect and landscaper get along?
I've spent time with people worth $100 million +. They don't know how to drive a car or even where to find meat in their neighborhood supermarket. That's not saying their 'bad' people. If they came from nothing, the have some respect for the working class. But some wives forget where they came from and act like they were born in the Country Club (that their husband pays for).
Romney brought his wife in to the conversation, claiming she can relate with the struggles of the average American. BS.
The comment in context is not unfair. Maybe her tone was a little off, but the notion is fair. The super-wealthy wives live in a different world that working class mothers.
when living in Idaho, I was told I was lucky....I had a new car (4 yr. old dodge dart), almost new truck (5 years old D250), farily new house (paid $38K for it in 1977 with $30K financed), and a good job (at the Idaho Nuclear Engineering Lab).My favorite is when adults turn into 13 year old girls and say, "You're just jealous."
Why no...I think reasoned, intelligent people can relate to others through their own understanding of the human condition. Thanks SO much for pointing out how STUPID Rosens comments were.Do you think the only way people can relate to each other is through having similar jobs?
That is exactly the type of response you get when ignorance is mixed with envy. You take a caricature and apply it to someone you know nothing about and pretend it can stand in for reality. Well, it cant. It also seems apparent that the left has moved from the absurd notion that only women can speak on issues concerning women to only certain--liberal approved--women can speak to issues concerning women. Can you give me the name of that politician who is the gatekeeper on womens class struggles?Romney likes to pretend that his wife is in touch with the struggles of the average American.

Mitt came from a wealthy family, and I suppose his education was paid for by his parents. But HE did the work at school. He did Law School and his MBAOr make assumptions. Have they presented any 'evidence' that when Mit met and married his wife, and they started having kids, that they were already 'rich', or was he just getting started?
Of course not, as looking into someones life might provide information that goes against their point.
exactly, detractors should now go and research, but first remove the blinders...Or make assumptions. Have they presented any 'evidence' that when Mit met and married his wife, and they started having kids, that they were already 'rich', or was he just getting started?

That's a pretty unfair, simplified and unimaginative characterization of working moms.

Also known as "the TurtleDude special"
Since Willard's daddy was rich, and his grandaddy (the one with lots of wives), it's probably fair to assume that Willard never had to worry about where his next meal was coming from. He's the same age as me. While I was fighting a war in Vietnam he was undertaking his Mormon mission in - wait for it - Paris. Yeah, he's always been rich.
