2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Obama made a comment about Hilary Rosen's attack on Ann Romney: he actually defended Mrs. Romney.

As he told Bruce Aune of ABC's Cedar Rapids affiliate KCRG, "There's no tougher job than being a mom. Anybody who would argue otherwise, I think, probably needs to rethink their statement."

I have to agree with him on that.

And if Obama can keep this up and stay away from the mudslinging that the GOP engaged in for the past few months, he's going to end up a lot better off.

Dude did you actually think he would be stupid enough to agree with Hilary Rosen? I mean even Downer Debbie disagreed with her and she is one of the biggest blowhards on the Democratic Party. Romney's wife is a incredible asset on the campaign trail, and the Democratic Party knows that she has just been placed front and center by some one that has deep ties to them. That not only help galvanizes Republicans around Romney, but its really putting a dagger on this "War on Women" crap.

Mind you however, that Obama actually has echoed just this last week what Rosen said, that Michelle did not have the "luxury" to not work.



To imply that being a stay at home parent is necessarily a luxury, rather than a partnership between two parents who both work hard to achieve shared goals, is a really good way to insult a hell of a lot of average Americans.

If campaign ads come from this, I would expect this clip to be matched with Rosen's

Roy, I doubt that Ann Romney needs to work. Her husband is a gazillionaire.

Obama was also quite rich at the time that he was speaking of, but Michelle Obama still worked. Some people don't just work for money. But you know it would be kind of hard for Ann Romney to, considering she has battled MS, Breast Cancer, and dealing withe 5 kids.

O-kay... I can honestly say I did not know about the first two problems... And let me say, I am very sympathetic towards cancer patients, seeing as my grandfather died of lung cancer...

Maybe if she'd be a little more public...

Me again.

I just listened to Ann Romney's response to Rosen's comment again, and while it made sense, I have to wonder...

She talked about the choices women make, how we must accept the choices women make, how we must be compassionate towards women who make such choices... Heck, she used the word "choice" five times in twenty-one seconds...

This woman certainly doesn't sound like she belongs with a party that would deny people affordable health insurance, or a group that would be fond of laying off workers, as her husband seems to be so proud of...

In fact, it seems to me that Mrs. Romney and Mrs. Obama would be quite comfortable campaigning together if the situation were different. Lol.

Well lets think about this, has anyone in the Republican party been wanting to deny people affordable health care? Remember, Obamacare not only does not reduce prices of health care, but may have raised it.

No one is "fond" of laying off workers, her husband was more than happy to fire workers who failed to produce, that is logical. I mean honestly why should anyone continue to pay someone who's work fails to meet the expectations?
