WASHINGTON ITS NOT REALLY what Ann Romney said, as much as how her interview came off, which is why [you] people went viral, like a political heat seeking missile ricocheting through the new media system at super sonic speed. For a lot of people now, Ann Romney has been defined. I cant serve you cake, but its the dish of the day.
By 54%-37%, they say Romney should release tax returns from additional years. Those calling for more disclosure include 75% of Democrats, 53% of independents and 30% of Republicans. Poll: Most say Romney should release additional tax returns
In fact, New York magazine was the first to write that didnt even hear you people, but the magazines commenters didnt care. The Twitterverse exploded with #YouPeople, hilarious 140 character laugh lines in a rapid fire contagion, one after another as viral became global. Its never a good idea to do an interview with a chip on your shoulder, because whether Mrs. Romney actually said you people or not, thats what people heard, because this is how she sounded
Seriously, what do you people expect?
In the last two years alone, my husband and I have tithed $1.5 and $2.6 million, and given $7 million to charity. To get received, we have to pay, not that I mind, no really, I dont.
What have you people done?
We even gave up our elevator for you people. Whats going to be enough?
Honestly, my Mitt is a very generous person. Ive got stuff.
