I did not hear Rosen’s comments or even read the transcript. I can say, however, that most of the Ann Romney’s, Michelle Obama’s, Laura Bush’s, and Hillary Clinton’s of the world have very little in common with the average stay-at-home mom or working mom. One of my employees, for example, works 40 hours a week for me, while raising two teenage boys and a handicapped daughter, fighting a dead-beat ex-husband for child support, and taking care of her elderly father who just had a stroke. There are no nannies, drivers, or personal assistants to help her out. There is no trust fund, sugar daddy, or endless supply of tax dollars to pay her bills and help make ends meet. The undeniable truth is that the vast majority of the “elite” inside the beltway mom’s, whether they stay at home and raise children or work for a paycheck, or whether they have a “R” or a “D” after their name, have no comprehension of what life is like on Main Street.

Are you saying that once you've become successful, you completely forget what life was like before that success?

Laura Bush was 30 before she got married and lived on her own, teaching, working with underpriveleged kids (while on her own) and as a librarian before she married.

Do you think she can't identify with anyone other than elitists because of who she married, even though she lived nearly half her life without privilege?

I'm trying to understand how deeply the left's class warfare has seeped into our thought process here....

That is the main point I was trying to make, in addition to I think it is a mistake to try and say Ann is just like the average mom. To say she is furthers the Democrats perception that Republicans/Romney are out of touch with the people who live on Main Street.

That's exactly right.....but this does not mean we go to war against those who've earned and worked for their wealth....which is what Obamas pushing...class warfare.

He's successfully got the nation, along with the media complying, talking about Zimmerman, (race), religion is now on the table and causing division, and now woman. None of which these have to do with his dismal record but all have to do with playing the piped pipers tune to see who goes along....and the nation yields. How foolish and ignorant we truly are.

agree, what would they know about going into a food store and only buying store brands, having a tight budget, whilst living within our means.

My wife years ago starting out was a nanny for a couple of rich folk and she said these women never washed their clothes, even skid marks in their panty’s, cleaned their house, looked after their kids etc.

One employee the vice Pres of Reebok up in MA where she used to live invited her to a baby shower and all excited by wife went out , got a present as best as she could with the money she had and went to the shower.
Yep only to find out she was had to look after the baby and the other kid while the wife was about entertaining and getting drunk.

While Rosen or any others like her cannot talk about Ann Romney , well lets face it big bum Michelle, Rosen or Ann have not one clue what it is like to get ahead, put out of work, do the right thing and miss out on things like never eating out, cannot order pizza , spouse breaks back in 3 places, kids etc and all of that whilst never ever go into debt .
