1. very unfavorable , more than Barbara Bush and her nasty comments

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I Don't Remember Barbara Bush Personally Attacking Her Husband's Political Opponents

And when I saw her and her husband on Larry King they had nothing but good things to say about Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

[MADem]

30. Barbara Bush (sister of George Washington) personally insulted Geraldine Ferraro in a most unkind

way, saying that she was something that "rhymed with rich." The press picked it up and she was forced to apologize. To her credit, she apologized personally and directly by phone. She apparently learned her lesson, because she got on her husband's staff when they went after Hillary during the campaign that bounced them from the WH.

Laura Bush (Joker Look-alike married to Little Bush, The Wee Cowboy) accused Hillary Clinton of being a "bad housekeeper." Her furniture was scuffed, she didn't care for her decorating scheme, etc. Jeez, amazing that Madame Secretary made it to the Senate and the State Department with that bad mark on her record!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

41. On The Other Hand

Laura Bush was a LBJ Democrat and is a supporter of marriage equality. And when Dorothy Bush ,daughter of Barbara Bush married , I believe Dick Gephatrdt's Chief Of Staff or some other prominent Democrat, and some Republican criticized her, Barbara Bush to her eternal credit, said it was none of their " G-d damn business."

[MADem]

42. She took the easy way, though. She let Porgie change her, or wear her down.

Then again, Barbara (Washington's sister) Bush AND her husband were pro-choice before he got pushed to the right and forced to toe Reagan's line, and she was forced to STFU and "no comment"/"I'm not the President" over the matter.

Dorothy Bush finally got married again? Well, that's grand. I remember they were trying to fix her up with Congressman David Drier (who used to "escort" ditzy Bo Derek to events where he couldn't go stag) and she couldn't figure out why he wasn't at all interested!

Ah, here's the details of her nuptials:

In 1992, German American Koch married Dorothy Bush, the only living daughter of George H. W. Bush, at a private ceremony held at Camp David—the only couple to ever be married there in the nation's history. They have two children plus the two children from her first marriage.
Koch is a Democrat who started his career in politics working for Tony Coelho and was part of his campaign to become House Majority Whip. He would later become staff director for House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt before joining the Wine Institute.[1] Since becoming President and CEO in June 2003, membership has grown 70% to over 1,000 Californian wineries and affiliated businesses which are predominately family owned and operated.
He has a substantial equity interest in Central European Distribution Corp., the company that manufactures and distributes vodka in Poland.[2]
Koch is active in raising funds to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.[3]

The fellow has an unfortunate last name, but he is a Dem!

[theKed]

46. LOL

Maybe they didn't realise he wasn't one of those Kochs...?

[MADem]

47. "Awwww, dad gum it, Doro, he ain't the dude with the dough?"

However will they fund "Jorge P's" run for the White House?

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Take the worst qualities of Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan and you get Ann Romney.

[Dawson Leery]

6. Babs and Nancy's worst qualities are still better than Ann Romney.

Ann Romney is the "Lady of the Plantation".

[MADem]

48. Fiddle dee dee! And not even as "nice" as Miss Scarlett!

"Nice" being used advisedly, of course.

[chollybocker]

3. Would cross the street to avoid her.

[GallopingGhost]

4. I didn't care for her on sight, but she

really pizzed me off with the "you people" comment.

My first thought was, "Guess what, honey, if your husband were to become President (God forbid), he'd be working for "you people," you know, the little guy, the working stiff.

And her comment about how they had to eat off an ironing board was nothing short of idiotic.

[catbyte]

5. Wish there was a "Severely Unfavorable" option for Queen Ann, lol

[Mr.Bill]

7. I feel sorry for her

She is a pathetic excuse for a human being.

[Tribetime]

8. wow I figured at least a few votes fav...but not my vote

[Zoeisright]

9. I think she's a disgusting, privileged bitch.

Who should be living in a cardboard box, if there was a god.

[still_one]

10. apathy

[courseofhistory]

11. My opinion putting it politely (although very difficult to do) is..

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

12. I was willing to lay off at first, but her ungracious nastiness is relentless

Where did she get all this attitude?

[Mz Pip]

13. I certainly don't remember

Democrats being contemptuous of Laura Bush the way the right has been on Michelle. That said, Laura Bush seemed like a decent person. Ann Romney is so full of herself and her holier than thou attitude justifies my dislike if her. She acts like Mitt has already won and those who did not support him are worthy of her contempt.

[liam_laddie]

14. Country club, in-a-bubble, elitist, "ultra-rich-bitch"

She's typical of many upper-class, privileged, dyed-blonde, cell-phone-yakking, massive-SUV-driving, overly-tanned, smug women one sees all over this country, who live in exurban gated communities, condos, McMansions or apartments in very-high-rent locales and who have nannies, maids, yard-care service, a vacation place or two, and who represent the very worst aspects of "success" in 'Murica...IOW, a republican wife. Offense to those who fit my description is intended!
If this is stereotyping, I plead quite guilty, and extend apologies to any progressive who might fit the description.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. There Are A Lot Of High Living Democrats

What is absent in them is the sense of entitlement and the scorn for anybody else who hasn't made it.

[NCarolinawoman]

17. Gets worse by the day.

Still remember early on when she said, "It is our turn!", regarding the Presidency.

Talk about being entitled!!!

[torotoro]

18. ENTITLED

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

19. I dislike her just as much as I can't stand her disgusting husband!!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

20. LOL!!! She burned the Welsh cakes that she says she made for her children growing up.

How does that happen? If she did this often for her children, how could she burn the cakes on national t.v.?

I can't stand this lying-ass woman!

[Worried senior]

26. When I saw her on the show

I quickly changed the channel but love that she burned the cakes.

I too, cannot stand the sight of her.

[MADem]

32. They're not hard to make. Idiot easy, in fact.

She burned the Welsh cakes that she told Lupe the cook to make for her children growing up!!!

[TexasCPA]

21. No one here likes Stepford wives?

[begin_within]

22. It's like she's campaigning to become First Lady

even though she's not on a single ballot

[Bigleaf]

23. I can't believe all YOU PEOPLE have such an unfavorable opinion of Queen Ann.

Just kidding. Of course I can.

[MatthewStLouis]

24. I would call her snooty. She reeks of privilege and is utterly clueless about it. /nt

[woolldog]

50. This.

[desertduck]

25. Coming out and saying, "stop it" while waving her finger will forever be my image of her

A rich snob who thinks that they should be treated differently and admonishing people like they are her servants. Bleeeeh. No thanks!

[abolugi]

31. You dont say...

I'm mad too!! I never got my rainbow farting unicorn I was promised!!

[abolugi]

35. You think "rainbow farting unicorn" is colorful launguage?

[flamingdem]

40. LOL those rainbow farts really stink! nt

[JNelson6563]

53. Then why are you here?

Just spreading the negativity before election? You're on the radar. Enjoy your stay.

[hamsterjill]

28. Condescending and Arrogant

That's what I see when I see Ann Romeny.

[glacierbay]

29. Haven't really been following what she's been saying. NT.

[sharkman25]

34. She may have different politics, but...

I suspect if I were to meet her personally and have dinner with her, I suspect she would be very nice. Besides, I don't know her well enough to really cast a vote. I've listened to both D's & R's talk of how much they actually like the other, they just have a different view of how to accomplish many of the same goals.

Edited to add that, Mormon's are generally exceptionally nice people.

[JNelson6563]

55. I have had a very different experience.

Every Mormon I've ever known (not many, thankfully) has been wretched.

The latest was a woman who was someone's date that came to a dinner party my brother and I hosted. She was distressed there was wine. She left in a huff over it, backed out of driveway in a hurry, nailed my brother's van. Kept going (people on front lawn saw the whole thing), stopped up the road to check her own car and then drove off.

She hit that van HARD. Did a lot of damage. We could see from a distance that her own car was damaged too. She tried to avoid my brother's calls. Begrudgingly filed a claim, lied and said no damage to her car. A real dishonest and rather snooty person.

The others I've known have been co-workers. Very nasty, dishonest and entitled. Hard to believe they sign up new members, considering how unpleasant all the ones I've known were. I formed those opinions long before I knew they were Mormons.

Hell, even their 18 year old "elders" are rather obnoxious at the door.

36. What's up with Botany?

[TexasCPA]

38. Fat fingers

[TwilightGardener]

37. Nasty privileged dingbat.

[flamingdem]

39. Troll Alert "VOTEFORROMNEY" has just voted for Queen Ann

[KamaAina]

44. He's dead, Jim

[KamaAina]

43. I like the horse better

[Tribetime]

45. I'll have a favorable opinion if she takes out my garbage tonight

and washes dishes does laundry...does everything they did to others to make money off their sweat

[Sky Masterson]

49. I don't think she's a bad person

She is just ultra-rich and out of touch. Barbara Bush is a different story.

[Lucinda]

51. I don't know her, and don't make judgment calls based on sound bites, however

her description of roughing it when her husband was in college was a big mistake.
It may have been tough for them, based on what they were used to, but they way it was phrased made her look massively out of touch.

[LiberalElite]

52. Was she voted Most Likely to be Hated in Yearbook?

- I ask that because if God forbid Mittens gets elected, I'll bet she'll be known as the Most Hated First Lady in the history of the U.S.A.

[Tree-Hugger]

54. I'm sure she loves her husband, but

based on what I have seen and read from her, I think she is rude, condescending and lacks compassion.

[hrmjustin]

58. Agreed! welcome to DU

[Cha]

56. Are you freaking kidding me!! lol Well at least 4 voters around

here are

[hrmjustin]

57. voteromney had been PPR

[Redlo Nosrep]

59. Obnoxious and Patronizing

She makes Marie Antoinette look like Evita.

[Mutiny In Heaven]

60. I don't think she's likeable, but it should be irrelevant.

I think there are plenty of potentially brilliant Presidents (of which Romney is most definitely NOT a member) whose wives / husbands / partners I might not be especially keen on with the superficial exposure the campaigns grant them.
