Ok, this woman is really starting to piss me off...

Is she looking to try and drag Michelle into some shit? Michelle has far too much class to play this game...

Ya know I really don't say a whole lot about wives, but she's inserted herself in a BIG way, and now she's made herself fair game. She's made herself one of his biggest surrogates/spokespeople; we don't cut them any slack.



Ann Romney: Time for a 'grown-up'

Ann Romney said Friday women voters were considering supporting her husband because “it’s time for the grown-up to come.”

“I’m hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for a Republican before, but said, ‘It’s time for the grown-up to come, the man that’s going to take this seriously, that’s going to take the future of our children very, very seriously’,” Romney told Candy Crowley on CNN’s “Starting Point.”

*snip*

Romney, making the morning television rounds the day after her husband, Mitt Romney, accepted the Republican nomination at the GOP convention in Tampa, also said she planned on watching Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches next week at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C.

“I believe I will” watch their speeches, Romney said on “Fox & Friends. ” “I want to hear the president speak and I hope — I’m assuming Michelle will speak. I want to hear her speak.

Ann Romney has said a bunch of very stupid things.

The one I like best was that "Mitt couldn't do this without me."

She's been fed a bunch of lines and she's given one speech and she feels like she's reached the big time. She's just reading lines.

Well, Mitt blew it in Europe and he says what's on the teleprompter but he still comes across like a puppet.

Relax, the Dem convention will kick things into gear.

3. I didn't realize that President Obama was not an adult yet at 51 years old.

Anne has been married to spoiled little boy all her life and has no idea what a real grown up man actually acts like. As if Mittens is the mature one in this race! Only in age, Queen Anne.

anything except how to spend their inheritance. And we all know they don't give a damn about OUR children because they are trying to cut or eliminate any government assistance to the children in country who need it most...from the ACA, education, and food stamps.

But they're only to happy to send OUR children off to war so that his defense contractor donors can extract their ROI for bankrolling him.

8. That "grown up" shit is calculated racism.. designed to make the President seem "over his head."

This has been their message, treating him like an ignorant teenager. She might as well have just called him "boy" and got it over with. I mean do the Romneys have ANY black people in their lives that don't work for them? She is an elitist, entitled, witch.

Their entire new focus of the campaign (as leaked by Business Week from Rove's billion dollar breakfast meeting,) is to say to Obama voters "gosh, I know it felt good to vote for a black person, but he's in over his head, and it's OKAY not to vote for the black person.. doesn't make you a racist or anything. He just wasn't up to the job like a GROWN UP MAN would be."

Rove and the Romneys and Ryan are the most insidious kind of racists. Like the ladies of The Help. Sugar sweet, condescending as fuck. Yep.. Ann would have been right at home in that film.

Ann.. your husband is far from a 'grown up.' He's a petulant little shit who freaks out if anyone disagrees with him. He is Richie Rich.

Limbaugh repeatedly refers to Obama as a "boy" and a "man-child"
October 27, 2009 7:36 PM EDT ››› MATT MCLAUGHLIN

On his October 27 radio show, Rush Limbaugh referred to President Obama as "this little boy, this little man-child president." Limbaugh has repeatedly referred to Obama as a "boy" and as a "man-child", including calling him "the little boy president" and claiming that Democrats and the media criticize "so-called 'ferocious attacks' " on Obama because "you can't criticize the little black man-child."

They're being very consistent.

She meant Mitt? The childish person who who can't be questioned on his credentials for president. Because he "just should be" president since he says so? Really?
