you have that right, chris. the guy just can't stay on point about anything.

There should be rules for people getting money from the government. Only a liberal would somehow equate a wealthy stay at home mom with someone on welfare.

"I’m willing to spend more giving day care to allow those parents to go back to work. It will cost the state more, providing that day care. But I want the individuals to have the dignity of work"

You completely ignore his willingness to help people who WANT to work but find it difficult to get day care. Typical behavior of the left.

Burger you totally miss the point... Why doesn't he feel that his wife and women like his wife don't need to work outside the home to have 'dignity'? How do you know the woman at home watching her kid hasn't lost her job because of the recession? You ignore the fact that there are people willing to work but there are no jobs out there for them. Also, how do you know every family that has a woman at home watching the children is on welfare? According to Mitt only middle class women who stay home need a job to have dignity but not the 1% mom's like his wife. They must get their dignity from the luxury cars and jewellry that their husbands jobs provide.

Burger only a fool would equate a wealthy millionaire's wife with an average stay at home mom. Mom's do work but not when they have maids and housekeepers to do it for them.

Pretty the only women really working her butt off in Ann Romney's home was Ann's maid. This is nothing but a sign of the Romney's elitist beliefs because an average woman with kids who stays at home who have lost her job and can't find one that will allow her kids to survive and thus must seek some government existence is a lazy leech. So since Ann was living by leeching off of her husband's money because he had so much thus has never at any point needed to makes her a leech. Romney apparently believes all leeches are to be looked down on. So that still includes his wife.

Ann never chose to stay home because she needed to she chose to stay home because she didn't need to work and since the Romney's employed 5 housekeepers last year alone I'm not sure she ever did. Ann Romney is not and was never a stay at home mom she was a pampered millionaire's wife.

If she went out and got a job it would be more like a hobby than a career. Not because of her gender as I'm sure some right wing troll will to claim but because of her giant bank accounts or rather her husband's giant bank account. hell of a lot of stay at home moms out there would have loved to live Ann's idea of "stay at home parenting".

Soothie, you ignore that he was specifically speaking about welfare. Can you have dignity by living off welfare? Does that make a person feel good about themselves? A person that has the ability to find work, when the government is willing to pay for daycare and still pay the person welfare while looking for work, that person should be forced to look for work. Why put words into my mouth? I never even insinuated that every woman at home is collecting welfare, I personally don't even know anyone on welfare. I do know a lot of women who work their butts off to support themselves without government help. Those women would rather work hard than live off the government.

Just a re invented re-reg hiding behind the face of a child. The flamers just run ramped. New profile second post......don't feed TT.

capt entitled

chris chris chris, how many times do i have to correct you? obama biden hillary all said the welfare system was undignified. clinton signed the dignity to work act in 96 . lol by the way, when was ann on welfare? how many times have you heard welfare recipiants say they feel a loss of dignity when they enter the welfare office? do you understand the difference between a woman on welfare and a woman whos husband works to support her and their kids? i know you dems are desperate right now over rosens stupid remark and the secret service obama admin scandal, obama admin gsa scandal, soaring gas prices, but i expected more from you. lol this all you got? i have no problem with people really needing it being on welfare. be honest chris, if you had to go on welfare would you feel a loss of dignity? of course you would. ive heard many people getting off welfare finding a job saying they got back their dignity and self esteem. as for ann not knowing about struggle and she shouldnt comment on it, lincoln was never a slave how could he comment on it? kennedys never struggled, how could they comment on it? now i dont blame you for trying but your martin bashir imitation is kind of silly.

chris hayes? who is chris ? is that maddows twin brother?

Ann Romney with her comment sure wrapped Mitts comments in pretty paper and tied them with a bow

Maybe that's the hard work she did that her housekeepers couldn't do for her. It's interesting to see that Ann is just as willing to be a political opportunist as her husband. They're really made for each other. She even admits the outrage is fake.

I'm sorry say what you will but if you ask me these two take pretentious to a whole new level. Guess having tons of money makes you super cocky. Once again the Romney campaign brilliantly highlights its biggest insecurity, the guy is an automated flip flop machine.

Hey tea partiers how does it feel to know that your candidate is meeting with wealthy execs and corporate donors behind closed doors about his white house plans?

Right there is a big difference because everyone knows just how much work is required for rich trophy wives to keep an eye on the nanny to make sure she doesn't steal the solid gold baby rattles.

I think it's actually pretty clear that Ann never did as much work as the average stay at home mom because that's what maids and housekeepers are for. Moms do work unless they have hired help to do it for them

CC you did know Ann was also another rich kid like Mittens? Here dad made machines for the big 3. They lived in Bloomfield Mi, a rich suburb in Detroit.

Keep avoiding the real issue...there is a difference between living a certain lifestyle on your own money and then on the welfare state. You are grasping at straws attempting to make Mitt look like a hypocrite for having the audacity to suggest people on government assistance should actually work, while his own wife doesn't. The argument does not hold water.

No, he made a blanket comment that stay at home mom's work.

The Republican ideal. Unpaid labor.

Every time I see them in pictures together, they just remind me of a middle-aged Ken & Barbie. And they have just about as much depth. If people are stupid enough to vote for them or ANY Republican, they get what they deserve. Except that the rest of us will have to suffer too. Get out and vote Dem at all levels.

There are different types of work Chris...

The Democratic Ideal. Something for nothing.

You mean like $65 billion to the oil companies out of taxpayer's pockets?

Or the 30 companies that didn't pay taxes from 2008-2010?

Or the CEOs that make millions of dollars from their employees work while paying them next to nothing?

Or the companies that moved to China so they can pay their workers 75 cents a day?

Is that what you mean?

Or the money that is wasted to create a fake "green energy" market that doesn't exist?

Like GE - whose CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, is Obama's job czar?

Unfortunately Chris, you get paid what you are worth. - whether you think it is fair or not. If you have a problem with what a private company pays someone don't do business with them and don't invest with them. There is a reason CEO's get paid that type of money and there is reason workers get paid what they do. If they are good company they will succeed, if they are bad they will fail. Do you think we should introduce salary controls on all working people?

Companies are in the business to make money - that is how people are able to work there. FYI - outsourcing to China has been happening for decades, this isn't new.

except the fake green energy market does exist and as of right now employs thousands of people in the speaker's state of ohio

guess rest assured that the market china is investing billions into doesn't actually exist...so problem solved

the point I think is that the money given to already profitably on it's own screwing us at the pump big oil is happening and is much larger than what's been put into green energy as it's been over a much greater period of time.....there is no move to stop that from happening

On outsourcing I think the solution has to be making it more expensive to leave and to an extent less expensive to say but far more on the more expensive to leave. I think we will need something to benefit us and only us(americans).

Cynical - I understand that there is a market for green energy, and I am all for new technology and innovation, but I also don't agree with forcing government money into a market to artificially inflate it, creating a "fake" market - when frankly it just isn't there yet. The Chevy Volt is an example - I have no problem with the concept, but doesn't government needing to subsidize it, give tax breaks for it, and force it upon us show that the market just isn't there yet?

Allowing tax breaks for anything isn't giving it money so what saying is you want them handing out federal dollars but unless they gave the company money then they didn't actually give them any money.....not really. Despite the elite media coverage the Chevy Volt hasn't failed, maybe not been a giant phenomenon but it hasn't failed the sales actually aren't terrible.

While I understand that you believe government should play in the market at the same time I think we have to realize absolutely no impact or action/intervention by the government in the economy is just no acceptable either

i find it amusing dems say they care more about frogs, whales, and spotted owls, then celebrate the fact they can abort a baby.lol

then celebrate the fact they can abort a baby

then celebrate the fact they can abort a fetus.

fixed that for you.

How right you are judy.Thanks for the post & the way it really is.

bill,

it would be "can you also include alot of democratIC millionaire wives as well".

the 5 housekeepers he employed last year were underpaid by half.

Cynical,

Your comments for the most parts were cheap shots. Have you no intelligence to add???

"My relies are in bold to your left wing gibberish. apparently you and so many others refused to listen to obama's speech about backing off from Politicians spouses and children. This shows childish school yard hatred at best. you wrote about trolling but cant look in the mirror. it speaks volumes of hatred."

Name calling is SOOOOOO common and really deserves to be on FOXNation or redstate instead of here.

President Obama did say that spouses and families are off limits and I praise him for that. He can certainly stay out of this "fray" over Ann Romney. However, when a candidate purposefully SHOVES his wife into our faces, then he has declared her fair game and I and others can take as much umbrage as we want to her comments. She has shown herself to be as "entitled" as her husband declares himself to be.

Why is it that Romney has NEVER outlined HIS budget, HIS plans to get the economy moving? What is it about HIS ideas that show us a clear difference between him and President Obama? Why is he Mr. Etch-a-Sketch? Why does he always prevaricate?

Quite frankly, many of us are not happy with President Obama's decisions, but if we are supposed to vote on who we believe will be a better President based on what they've indicated to us, then NONE of us could vote for Romney because we DON'T KNOW what he stands for.

Unlike all other presidential candidates in the past, Romney hasn't told us ONE THING about what HE would do different than Obama (other than kill off the agency his father was the first Secretary of - Oedipal Complex maybe?). George Romney was a man I had the utmost respect for, his youngest son is a big zero.

Right now what I can see from Romney is that he is an "entitled" little rich kid who thinks he should have anything he can buy, including the Presidency.

Folks you would to know why I know that Ann Romney probably didn't work her butt off??? Because that's what a maid is for. To equate a wealthy family with housekeepers and all other forms of hired help with an ordinary family is none sense. It's just as crazy as Mitt Romney trying to say that at points in his life he's worried about getting a pink slip! The Romney's will pretend they're an average family during this campaign guess what they're not. The average family does not have access to the opportunity, wealth and privelage that they have.

I don't give a damn about Ann or any of the Romney's or Obama's for that matter I have not nor do I have any desire to meet any of them in my lifetime. I don't hate Ann Romney I just laugh at the idea that she was a hard working stay at home mom. Most of response is written in the spirit of comedy, as I said I don't care about Ann Romney enough to hate or trully feel jealous of her.

Obama made his statement for politic's sake and through Hilary Rosen under the bus and drove over her several times for a comment that was really not crazy or mean at all. Everyone clearly knew what she meant and logic supports her conclusion. The poor and middle class always work harder than the rich.

As usual I make no apologies and if I'm censured or banned so be it.

President Obama may have politically responded to the remark made by Hilary Rosen, as did Axelrod and others. i understand why the Obama campaign would want to get ahead of this, because fox news (especially sean hannity) and other repubs are lying about Rosen's relationship to the President.

i do understand why President Obama and Michelle and others wanted to respond to Rosen's remark. repubs will believe what they want anyway, but look how much damage they have done in regard to President Obama's religion, his birth certificate, and health care reform. they are ruthless in the lies they tell about our President.

as youre a woman with a college degree at what income level do you think a woman shouldnt be allowed to voice her opinion? or maybe its because shes a rep? why bash ann cause her parents successful and wealthy? obama said we should celebrate wealth. i remember dems never spoke about the kerry family wealth which is much much more than the romney family. by the way kerry married teresa who is worth over a billion$. where was the dems outrage then? seems dems only celebrate wealth when a dem is wealthy. as youre a woman with a college degree do you think your opinion matters more than a less educated woman? you think ann shouldnt comment cause she never struggled. lincoln never was a slave, how could he comment on it?

commie,

one does not have to experience slavery to know that it would not be a pleasant way to live.

on the other hand, mitt romney has totally flip-flopped on any reasonable attitude he had toward women in regard to abortion, planned parenthood, universal health care and other things, all to win the republican nomination. mitt once appeared to be on the side of women, now it seems he wants to undermine them at every turn.

Karen is right. they are both out of touch, and will say anything, depending on the topic, and depending on who they are talking to.

i wonder if you brought up the kerrys who are far far more wealthy than the romneys had maids nannies etc. i dont remember that being brought up then. ann married a rich man, but its ok that kerry married a woman worth over 1 billion$. its hardly a newsflash that the romneys are wealthy. its obvious that the desperation of dems on the eve of obamacare being declared illegal, more people unemployed than anytime in our history, soaring gas prices, iran closer to nuclear weapons, etc. that dems have to resort to lol (romney is wealthy) my best is this silly war on woman. as obamacare will be illegal how will dems spin obamas ignorance of the constitution? as obama taught constitutional law can his students get a refund?

commie,

you are forgetting how we got in this mess. W. bush had 8 years to cause MOST of the economic crisis at the end of his presidency. this is fairly typical (although bush's economic mess was a DISASTER) of repub presidents at least from nixon on; they all left offfice with huge deficits, and grew the size of gov't, ESPECIALLY REAGAN, until W. bush, that is.

i am slackjawed that YOU don't even know, or ignore the FACT that "Obamacare" is really "romneycare", A REPUBLICAN IDEA. President Obama ignnored single payer, and put the INDIVIDUAL MANDATE (a repub idea) on the table to get repub votes. james inhofe, and other very conservative repubs, agreed with the individual mandate because it is THEIR IDEA. all of a sudden when President Obama puts it on the table, they act as if they have never heard of THEIR IDEA. mark pauly, h.w. bush administration, an originator of the individual mandate is pissed off and disappointed in the repubs denying their own plan for health care reform (do some research).

dems aren't resorting to the fact that romney is wealthy. they are pointing out the obvious, that mitt is out touch, that he flip-flops on everything, and that he wants to be president while keeping his money overseas.

we don't care that mitt is wealthy. we do care that he flip-flops, that he LIES, and that he is out of touch with women and most working people in the united states, people who are not "rich". these are things he shows us every single day that he campaigns.

P.S. commie-

the repubs don't even like mitt romney. have you heard their endorsements of him?

Right like making them take a drug test before they can get assistance????
