Ann Romney: "You People"
by Kestrel
Politico is reporting that Ann Romney has stepped into the ring to battle against further disclosure of financial data and tax returns, quoting her as follows:
Ann Romney dismissed concerns about her husband’s tax returns Thursday, contending that the two of them have “given all you people need to know.
You people.
“We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life,” she added later.
I don't know about you, but where I come from, that's called high falutin' and condescending. I wonder if her nose was in the air when she said it? No video accompanies.

If nothing else, you definitely win this thread. 
Where have you been anyway? They tried to stop Michelle from addressing some school children in Florida just a week ago. They have been on here case constantly since even before Obama became president. Remember her famous gaff of "finally" she could be proud of her country. Her garden has been a point of scorn now for over a year.. It goes on and on and you think Ann Romney should be left alone??? 
Those 25+ who have stated they think Mitt should release his tax forms to belay any suspicions that he is hiding something? They've just become "you people" as well.
Honey, I think you just stepped in some horse doodoo!
Rush must be bouncing in his high chair, big time! Have fun with this one, Rush! 
President Obama isn't perfect but I do believe he genuinely cares about the average citizen.
The Romney's on the other hand appear to feel we're beneath them.
American citizens? 
Mitt and his wife don't want to give the Obama campaign the opportunity to distort info in unreleased tax returns. Mitt said as much in an interview. Well, if he released more years of returns, Mitt certainly has the opportunity to clear up any "distortions" put out there.
Unfortunately for Mitt, what he might define as "distortions" will be, most likely, the "truth" (facts)......and the Obama campaign will simply relate the facts of what's in the returns to the American people in a clear and simple manner.
If there was nothing in the returns for others ("you people"
to "distort" then the Romney's wouldn't have a thing to worry about and the returns would be released ASAP.
and the rest of America is entitled to disagree with her. Ann doesn't come across as very bright. Those "you people" she's referring to are needed if her husband has a chance of being elected. Of course, Mitt won't release additional tax returns so I guess he feels he can win the election without the American people knowing more about who he "is". We should all just take their word that Mitt's the kind of man he declares himself to be.
They know how the political game is played and if they can't be in control, they throw hissy fits, with smiles. It is understood that Mitt would demand the same from an opponent if the situation were reversed.
He's banking on difficult economic conditions being his best political 'friend" that will move him into the WH. He must feel his chances are so good that he doesn't need to disclose tax returns that reveal more about "who he is".
"You people"........they both need to get over themselves.
Someone should tell Her Highness that she needs to re-read (or maybe just read) her American history. It's "WE, THE PEOPLE..."
I fear you may be right. 
What is it about that expression that instantly identifies the user as an asshole? I've never heard a decent person use that expression, except in jest. I guess she has a problem with "We, the people..."
I have to agree with what she said in that regard.
Of course, "we people" also need to consider just why those jobs need to be brought back!
She really is not only a snob, she's a f*cking stupid one. Does she even realize what she said?
Really beautiful high horse, though...
