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 its time for the grown-up to come.
Im hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for a Republican before, but said, Its time for the grown-up to come, the man thats going to take this seriously, thats going to take the future of our children very, very seriously, Romney told Candy Crowley on CNNs 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 Obamas 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 Im assuming Michelle will speak. I want to hear her speak.

(1,372 posts)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.

(19,458 posts)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.

(7,712 posts)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.

(28,158 posts)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?
