Let's hope the political advisors aren't as inept as Hilary Rosen

Sob.. sob...sob..... I'm sure we all have ancestors who were abused, beat up, enslaved or killed. Get over it. What happened 150 years ago is meaningless.

Next thing you'll do is bring up how Cain murdered Able and you're still traumatized by it.

exactly what you may think it is:

‘The Road We’ve Traveled:’ A misleading account of Obama’s mother and her insurance dispute - The Washington Post

"Disability coverage will help replace wages lost to an illness. (Dunham received a base pay of $82,500, plus a housing allowance and a car, to work in Indonesia for Development Alternatives Inc. of Bethesda, according to Scott.) But that is different than health insurance coverage denied because of a pre-existing condition, which was a major part of the president’s health care law.

Scott writes that Dunham, who died in 1995 of uterine and ovarian cancer, had health insurance that “covered most of the costs of her medical treatment…The hospital billed her insurance company directly, leaving Ann to pay only the deductible and any uncovered expenses, which, she said, came to several hundred dollars a month.”

You are wrong. They don't bash everyone rich. I've never heard them bash Al Gore, Warren Buffet, Michael Moore, George Clooney, etc, etc.

They only bash rich people who disagree with their Big Government agenda.
I stand corrected.

So you are saying that Romney sat down with her husband and tried to balance a checkbook or make a household budget? the biggest decision she ever made was which Cadillac to drive to the country club that day.

No, she probably just let her computer do that online, like the rest of us

Boy, you're really "old fashioned"

So Rosen made $2.6 million a year working for a non-profit, visits the White House three dozen times, is paid $170k a year as a consultant to the DNC, and she's in touch with the average American....

I guess the average American is doing better than we thought.

Oh, for crying out loud - do you really think she has EVER worried about a budget or balancing a checkbook? I wouldn't be surprised to find out she's never even SEEN a checkbook.

Even during their so-called "struggling" college years - you know, when they were living off of stock dividends - I doubt very much that she ever worried about how she was going to feed her family AND pay the electric bill.

Her biggest budget decision is probably which platinum card to use.

They are grown men now. The oldest is about 40.

They've already addressed that: no.
