In reply to Obama, you didn't build that speech!

I just wish that someone would ask Mr Romney if he is aware that, as to health insurance his wife is effectively uninsurable. Forget the BS about competition taking the cost of premiums down. Insurers don't want people with MS. They don't want old people with multiple problems. They are happy to leave those people to other insurers, and so put their premiums at an unaffordable rate.

I know this is slightly OT, but every time I see her smug smile, I just think about this topic. She is as clueless as her husband.

Thanks, Tmc. I watched most

Thanks, Tmc. I watched most of the Republican debates but I just couldn't stomach them last night. But today, I was trying to listen to the storm results and couldn't avoid the raz a ma taz on the big speeches.

Really good comments about what life is really like when you are not the kept wife of a Wall St. magnate.

Oxy! Hah! Awesome. I have it

Oxy! Hah! Awesome. I have it on good authority that the transformative potential of "The Big Speech" is amazing. Let's review the Big Speech of last night, Ann Romney, MOM, WIFE, sighing more than her husband, worrying about stuff. Well at least she smiled!

Ann Romney speech condescendingly and offensively put it out there that she believes fathers aren't the parents mothers are! Yikes. My husband was beyond offended, we watched of course, but that one really caused us to say "herp derp, in 1965 maybe. In case Mrs. Romney doesn't understand modern families, even if it is her favorite TV show, as a parental unit, we organized our lives in a way that my husband did everything I did, including trading off going to well baby check ups. He did and does housework, cooked dinners, changed as many diapers as I did, our two youngest are 1 year and 4 days apart, we had diapers coming out of our ears for what seemed like an eternity, he did laundry, he did grocery shopping, he went on field trips, he made lunches, he took off from work when one of our kids was sick, I usually had a longer commute, simply because I am on the ferry every day, so he was much more responsible for doing that, but he really did and does everything I do, we took turns doing everything, so no ones professional life would suffer. But hey, women, they are the real parents.. not you mediocre, quietly sighing men. Yep, she sure hit that one out of the ballpark.

For Ann Romney it seems as if returning to the societal structure of the 50's and 60's when people knew their place, Mitt Romney would rule the world!
