Showing Original Post only (View all)Do Working Mothers find Ann Romney obnoxious? [View all]
I find her very obnoxious, as the child of a Mother who HAD to work to provide a decent life for me. My Mother, who had to do EVERYTHING Ann Romney did and MORE. And she had to do it while working full time.
Not having to find a job is a luxury, not a choice. The choice is having a roof over your children's head or going to work. The choice is better going to bed hungry or going to work. That doesn't sound like much of a choice to me. It sounds like a spoiled elitist trying to defend her life on easy street.

Well maybe she can expose that herself instead of us turning her into a sympathetic figure.

I find the whole outrage a manufactured purposeful over analysis and misinterpretation

I find her 'snotty'. Her tone yesterday reeked with contempt of other mothers.
