Ann Romney defends her role as one of the most privileged women in America

[MindMover]

Stamford, Connecticut (CNN) - Ann Romney, Monday night, defended her role as a stay-at-home mother and described herself and her presidential candidate husband as a couple in touch with women concerned about the economy.

Appearing at a GOP dinner in Connecticut, Romney acknowledged the controversy stirred up weeks ago by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen who criticized the mother of five for having not "worked a day in her life."

"We are grateful for the response that we got from that and appreciative of recognizing that women have choices in life, and some choices are not all the same, but we value everyone's choice that they make in their profession," Romney said.

She added her husband, Mitt Romney, treats her as "an equal partner" and supports her role in their family.

"He would remind me all the time that my job was more important than his, that his job was temporary, that mine was going to bring forever happiness. And he believed it, he didn't just say it, he believed it," she said.

Romney appeared acutely aware of the perception fueled in part by Rosen's comments that she may be out of touch with American women.

1. she really needs to stop talking

I don't hate Ann - it's just that she seems to really believe she can relate to those of us who work for a living and SHE CAN'T. She also seems to think her husband EARNED his money but he's really a fucking VULTURE and yes, PARASITE.

2. Ann Romney Says Talking to Women Makes Her Sure of Victory!

Romney said while supporters "swarm" her husband, she talks to women at campaign stops and asks them, "Why are you here? What made you come out of your house today to this event?"

At this point Romney became emotional and her voice began to crack recounting the prayers being said on her behalf.

3. I grew up in Belmont and passed

that house often on my way to visit my parents. Always wondered why they didn't fix the roof of that house.

4. It must have been hard keeping track of five kids, on all that land.

5. She's really milking that Rosen comment--it's getting old, Ann!

6. Interesting that they failed to report her statement:

“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids.
