In reply to the discussion: "I resent that remark, Gov. Romney and you've insulted every single parent in America" [View all]Sheepshank
(12,504 posts)2. I just showed this to a single mother in this office.
She recently got enough of a raise to get off of food stamps.
When she read this she cried. That someone running for President would dare categorize she and her children in this manner broker her heart. To read Obama's response gave her some relief. She is so flippin' mad at Romney right now, she is taking copies of this and shoing her daughter who will be voting for the first time this year. I don't think Romeny will be getting either one of their votes.
