The Romneys display a remarkable sense of entitlement

I found Ann Romney calling the Hilary Rosen controversy “a birthday present” a little odd. The outrage machine ginned up the culture war to defend Ann’s “choice” to stay at home, but she’s telling us she enjoyed it? She wasn’t really hurt and offended? If the president had declared a “war on moms,” as Republicans claimed, could she really experience that as “a birthday present”? Is it really all about Ann?

On “The Ed Show” last night I said it revealed Ann Romney’s sense of entitlement, that she would call such apoplexy “a birthday present.” But I hadn’t even heard the most entitled part of her interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, in which she exclaims, “It’s Mitt’s time. It’s our turn now.” In the same interview, her husband told Obama to “start packing,” rather presumptuously (who orders around the president?), but Ann Romney declaring “It’s our turn now” is even worse. Ann, the voters will decide that. Don’t order the car elevator for the White House quite yet.

This sense of entitlement takes the cake. They haven't done a damn thing to deserve the Presidency and the White House.

Every other word out of Mitt's mouth is a lie.

Too many lies to be recorded by me, but I bet the Obama team is just licking their chops in anticipation of ways to use them against him.

Rachel and Ed are doing a great job every night of reporting them.

That I can remember. They've all got entitlement-fever. Dole felt it was his turn to be president because he had been in government so long. McCain was the same way. Now Romney thinks it's his turn.
