Hillary Rosen's Comments Were Spot On

Notice that the comeback is that Ann Romney chose to stay home and raise her 5 boys. Well, plenty of women with 5 kids (or even 1 kid) don't have that choice! They need to raise a family AND work a 40-hour-a-week job.

Yes, being a mom is a full time job. Ann Romney had ONE full time job. The vast majority of middle- and lower-income moms have TWO full time jobs, because they don't have the option of just staying home to raise their kids, because they aren't multi-millionaires like the Romneys.

BTW - I'd be interested to know what kind of domestic help Ann Romney had raising those kids, from nannies to housekeepers, help that the average mom can only dream of.

News item in this mornings Google News: No nannies or maids. Only picked up by

Atlantic Wire and
Sunshine State News (blog) - ‎4 hours ago‎

Now the news is out that, not only did Ann Romney stay at home to care for her five boys, she didn't get a lick of help from maids or nannies.

Uh-oh, they're looking better everyday while Michelle plans another vacay. Now let's look at Rosen's life in detail. Yuck, say normal Americans
