Queen Ann: Obama not a grown-up

[WI_DEM]

Mother Jones's David Corn has another leaked Romney recording for us. This time, Mitt and Ann are on record at a fundraiser expressing contempt for the president. Romney told donors that Obama thinks of businesspeople as "a necessary evil," and Ann Romney suggested that the president was not a "grown-up."


ANN: You know—the ship's going over the waterfall, it's almost there. And we look what's happening in Greece, and we look what's happening around the world, we look what's happening internationally. This is a frightening world, and we need a grown-up, and we need someone that understands the economy. So I'm glad…Mitt is grown up to you all.

As David Corn points out, Ann's comment isn't a one off or a gaffe:

In August, Ann Romney, talking about the gender gap, said, "I'm hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for a Republican before that said, it's time for the grown-up to come."

1. Queen Ann is not a human!

[graham4anything]

2. This is a racial slur. Rev. Al should comment on this on his show later today.

if one is not a grown up, well...she is without saying the word, slurring President Obama with a racial slur back from the slavery days.

I take this as a racial slur.

[frylock]

5. yep, she just called obama a man child

[Tom Ripley]

22. That's how a lot of the wingnuts on the local newspaper's forum refer to President Obama

It's racistspeak

[k8conant]

6. I agree about the slur and...

if Mitt's all grown-up I don't want to grow up (even though I'm already 63).

11. Just another way

to say "boy."

I can't stand that woman. Her arrogance and sense of entitlement is off the charts.

[Kalidurga]

3. Real classy and mature...

Well, not so much. Calling an adult not grown-up is rather immature. You would think someone Ann's age would know that. Well, I am not going to call her a child. She is clearly old enough to be grown-up. But, she is ill-mannered and rude.

4. Romney is brittle

You said so yourself, ignorAnnus.

[bamacrat]

13. +1 Beat me to it. n/t

[crazylikafox]

25. yup. my first thought

[Blue Idaho]

9. Being old does not make you a grown up Ann.

Both she and Bishop Willard have demonstrated time and again a startling lack of empathy and a sort of self centered-ness not often seen in grown ups. Their family stores alone are rife with childish and egotistical buffoonery.

Their actions on the campaign trail make clear these people are not ready to serve this nation, they are waiting to be served dinner, in the mansion, by the servants.

[reflection]

10. All the words I'd like to use are verboten at DU

so I'll just use this.

[LiberalFighter]

12. Queen Ann is past senile

Queen Elizabeth outshines her in anything that is important

[speedoo]

14. Match made in hell.

One disgusting POS married to another.

Eight more days and they will be gone.

[MightyAfrodite]

15. WHAT A BEYOTCH!!

Who does she think she is?!?! Just so disrespectful!! But she's nothing but a Raggedy Ann, saying exactly what they tell her to say, when somebody pulls her string. Pathetic.

[onehandle]

16. Tut tut, Take your leave, boy.

[Alekei_Firebird]

17. Of course not. He's a "boy" who probably lusts after her blonde self.

[courseofhistory]

18. She is full of herself and Mitt! Ick! n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. B**ch

[Wellstone ruled]

20. Bitty has a reality

problem. Typical entitlement thinkie going on,mine mine mine,self centered Bitch.

[and-justice-for-all]

23. Grown up???

fuck off.

[nc4bo]

24. I'd like Queen Ann to explain if O's not grown-up, why the heck is she speaking like a 3 yo in

a very, very mature person's skin?

Huh?

Clueless twit.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

26. She was acting like quite the juvenile in that comment.

[desertduck]

27. she is a constant reminder that money does not equal class

[budkin]

28. This is what the incoming Bush admin said about the outgoing Clinton administration too

"It's time for the grown ups to run things again" or something to that nature.

[struggle4progress]

29. Havin lotsa money didn't bring her no class, I guess

[baldguy]

30. One thing grown-ups do: Admit when they make mistakes.

One of the major reasons we're in the fix we're in is because of the actions of wealthy parasites like Rmoney.

[JiminyJominy]

31. Stepford Wives

aren't supposed to talk!

so STFU Anne!
