Michelle Obama's dad went to work every day with MS?

[RandySF]

It was not until last night that I leaned that Michelle Obama's father also had MS. Yet, every day he got up on his walker and went to work so his kids would have a better future. I know it's also been difficult for Ann Romney, but I suspect she's had better access to the best meidcal care and therapists money can buy. Also, she's been able to go to work and....wait a minute, she didn't. Anyway, I am sure Obama's father received all the attention and pity he sought......wait a minute, he didn't. Never mind.

1. The Dems have pretty much shot down the MS pity card

Not to make light of Ann's disease, but she's not the only one who has suffered from it.

2. He rode to work on a dressage horse

Every MS patient gets one.

It's like those Medicare scooters they used to sell on TV.

3. You mean he wasn't a cadillac-driving welfare recipient living off the

gov't teat? He went to work every day, he didn't sit in tortured debate over which stock to cash out to pay for food and clothing for his kids?
