71. Why is she talking about the difficulty of motherhood and campaigning? Are her kids grown?

Beyond the awful thing that she said and how utterly out of touch the Romney's are, WHY is she giving a speech about how hard it is to be a mother and be on the campaign trail? Is she packing their lunch every day as they head off to work?

They are trying to sell her as "super mom!" But American Moms who have no choice but to work while they raise their kids (thanks to republican and corporate policies,) don't see her as a hero. What we really want to know, is how her domestic staff juggles work and family.
