Now, I am basing it on a handful of TV interviews, but I do not like what I have seen so far.
Another reason not to vote for Romney. Like we need any more reasons.

(575 posts)She's a huge bitch. Take all that money away from her and what you have left is a jowly bleached blond with a BA in French from (surprise) Brigham Young who knows how to shovel horseshit. That last talent is what makes her so useful on the campaign trail.

She comes across like she thinks she's a Duchess and the rest of "you people" are proletarians.
I can't recall having a big problem with any First Lady regardless of party. Some might have been a little aloof but most seemed like nice and decent people to me.
She's the least likable of all of them that I can recall.

i didn't get that with Cindy McCain, Laura Bush, even Babs or anyone else.
not even with other Republican Candidate wives(and husband) during this republican primary.

(12,977 posts)Remember "But why should we hear about body bags and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or that or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that, and watch him suffer."
Or "Almost everyone I've talked to says, 'We're gonna move to Houston.' What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas... Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality, and so many of the people in the arenas here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (as she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
But I'll grant you that Babs has always had a grande dame snottiness about her that's almost endearing. Ann, in contrast, is just high-level white trash.
Laurian
(2,593 posts)How dare anyone question her or Mitt about their taxes! Her attitude really pissed me off. I wish they would put her out there more. She could alienate a lot of voters.

Not all Repug first ladies are like this; Laura Bush was a down-to-earth good person (despite her bad taste in men) IMO.

(17,651 posts)Her looks change dramatically. Is it make-up or lighting, botox wearing out? Line around her top lip looks like she smokes but that's just pure ass-umption on my part.
Someone on DU said it's because of the MS but I also thought I read that her type of MS is mild and in remission.
I think she's a hateful, selfish person but she could be also be a Stepford wife type or maybe none of those things.
We're going to do everything possible NOT to find out!!

jmowreader
(50,566 posts)She still does herself up (or requires the little person who has to do her up) like she was 25, and she's too old for that style of makeup. There are WAY too many recent pictures of her wearing charcoal shadow--the last thing she should even think of wearing.
There's also the part about her hating poor people, who to Ann Romney is anyone with less than $150 million in liquid assets.

(109,000 posts)Here they are, having to fight for the measly little position of President of the United States, when they are meant -- after they die -- to be the god and goddess of their own personal planet, producing countless spiritual children.
It must be very hard on them, having to be so patient with all of us little Earthlings.
Laurian
(2,593 posts)If so, she's not very good at this. What did she think? That they'd just waltz into the White House? How presumptuous. She acts like she doesn't want to be bothered by these pesky details.....

It'd probably also be the start of a French Revolution style uprising that could take 10-20 years to come to an end.

I didn't have an opinion about Ann Romney in the beginning, but she's starting to show her true colors - "the dog loved it", "YOU people", etc. Sorry lady, but if someone is applying for the highest office in the land, his employers are entitled to more than your assurance that his "integrity is golden".
tex-wyo-dem
(3,190 posts)She's the very definition of an arrogant self-centered, self-entitled aristocracy wannabe who feels the world revolves around them and all us poor underlings can just gaze up at her while she waves at us with her silk-gloved diamond-encrusted hand from her perch atop the castle. She really feels sorry for us (not really...it's just our lot in life). She makes babs Bush look like just a kindly old woman.
