YouTube video description:

January 4, 2012 - Mitt Romney says that welfare recipients should leave their 2 year olds in daycare and go back to work. These would be stay-at-home parents should have the "dignity of work." That's apparently a dignity that Ann Romney doesn't need to have.

1. So why didn't he send Ann off to work when the last kid turned two?

I hope someone in the audience asks him that one, then follows it up with a question about why his own offspring were worthy of a (theoretical) stay at home parent but ours are not.

I'd love to see his face turn purple and steam pour out of his ears.

4. It is called the double standard.

2. omg Mitt says Ann has NO DIGNITY!

because she doesn't work outside the home!

You can't talk that way about Ann Romney!

3. Well, anytime he and Ann volunteer to babysit with no charge, I'm sure many

parents of two-year olds would be happy to go to work to earn the hard needed cash.

5. "dignity of work" How did he deny his wife the dignity of work? Credibility? He has none!

6. Romney and the republiCONS also

love home schooling because they don't want anyone else teaching their children..

7. That's got to be one of the most idiotic, half-baked ideas I've heard from a candidate.

"It will cost more put put the kids in day care, so lets do that." That's stupid.

8. Don't blame Romney.

He comes from generational wealth and privilege. He has no notion of how lesser mortals live their lives. How could he? He just mangles what his handlers try and explain to him about pandering to plebes, but he lacks the necessary experience to pull it off. Don't bother blaming him. Just don't vote for him. That would as incongruous as serfs voting for a new king.

9. Apparently he doesn't know how expensive daycare is?

The average person doesn't have Nannies.

that I'm unaware of or something? What the hell is he taking about?
What world is he living in?

12. "When I said 'I like being able to fire people'..."

"What I meant was that I like being able to make people go be dignified elsewhere".

13. I am appalled at this attack on Ann Romney by Mitt!
