Ann Romney: “We Need To Respect Choices That Women Make”

Ann Romney cut to the heart of the flap over what Hilary Rosen said about the candidate’s wife never having worked “a day in her life” in a Fox News interview this morning, saying, “We need to respect choices that women make.”

She added, “Lemme give a shout-out to all the dads at home raising kids…this is obviously an awesome responsibility to raise children.”

When asked point blank about the suggestion that she couldn’t relate to the struggles of working women, or working class women, she said, “Look, I know what it’s like to struggle and if maybe I haven’t struggled as much financially as much as some people have, I can tell you and promise you that I’ve had struggles in my life….Mitt and I have compassion for people that are struggling and that’s why we’re running. We care about people that are struggling .”

It was a reference, at least in part, to her health struggles with MS and breast cancer.

She pointed to the number of times her husband would tell her, “Ann your job is more important than mine….he would say, my job is temporary…your job is a forever job.”

    The dems are just trying to drag Ann into a mud fight to make her look bad. The dems are desparately trying to tarnish her in some way. I bet this was all planned by the dem “strategists” to try to drag her into throwing mud and get her riled up so they have some sound clips. Not gonna work. She’s first-class all the way around!

    Go, Ann, go! Denigrating Ann Romney does nothing to help the economy, create jobs, eliminate the debt, or lower gas prices. It does nothing at all to help the country. It only continues the divisiveness of the democratic party and the current president and administration. Ann Romney has ALWAYS been proud of her country and of her husband, not just because he’s running for office. She will be an excellent first lady!
