Yes, campaiging for president is hard, but BEING president is even harder.

I was thinking about Ann's whining yesterday to that crowd in Iowa....and I thought "wow", what an ungrateful human being. With all her privilege, she isn't happy.

There she is, married to a man that could become the most powerful figure in the world, and she's complaining about how difficult it is to convince people that her husband deserves to be elected; complaining how hard it is to do all that campaigning stuff.

What happens if Mitt happens to end up in the White House? How hard will it be to accept the responsiblity that comes with the presidency; how will Mitt deal with the American public, his detractors, world leaders, unrest in the world? Ann may turn into a raving lunatic because it will be so damn HARD.

(with Bill Press, I think), who said that Ann Romney is "very sick" and should be "cut some slack". It's the first thing he said in response to Bill playing the tape of her saying that!
