Ann Romney says her biggest concern for Mitt if he became president would be his 'mental well-being'

Source: KTVN/Mail Online

Ann Romney, wife of United States presidential candidate Mitt Romney, intended to praise her husband in a recent interview with KTVN. Instead, her statements are now being used by critics to portray Romney as unstable.

When asked what her biggest concern is if her husband should succeed, Ann Romney said, “You know, I think my biggest concern, obviously, would just be for his mental well-being.”

“I have all the confidence in the world in his ability, in his decisiveness and his leadership skills, in his understanding of the economy, in his understanding of what's missing right now in the economy - you know, pieces that are missing to get this jumpstarted," she continued.

"So for me I think it would just be the emotional part of it."

I'm sure Michelle worries about her hubby too. It is the most stressful job in the world I would think.

It's easy to get caught up in throwing crap at someone whose ideas are so odious, but I'm impressed at how everyone seems to be uncomfortable with Mitt's apparent mental state. I think Ann might be just another "tell" that something is off.

The Romney politicians appear snake-bit with mental issues.

I am already worried about Mitt's mental health. I don't think he is suffering though, he seems more of a giver in that regard. But, in any case this man should be no where near the White House not even as a guest.

More to the point - what would happen to America if he (shutter) wins?
