Look, what Rosen said was insensitive, and her point, while it may have been a valid one, could have been made without further insinuating that stay at home moms don't do any real work.
Is this blown up more than it needs to be? Sure. But this "war on moms" is not nearly as blown out of proportion as The War on Womenâ„¢. I'm sure the Romney campaign would be happy to drop the issue if Obama's camp would drop the war on women nonsense, that way we can all get to the real issues. But I can see why that would not be in the president's best interest.
The Obama campaign and the DNC intend to try and tear down Ann Romney because they know she is a strong asset to the Romney team. Rosen was one of their appointee's to deliver this message and she got sacrificed delivering it, because it blew up and backfired something awful. The Obama campaign thinks they are running against John McCain again this time evidently and nothing could be further from the truth. Their attack machine might not have it as easy against the Romney campaign.
lol...and the Democrats are playing this as the Romney campaign just now learning to use social media to their advantage which couldn't be further from the truth. We've been using social media since last campaign and extensively for over a year. Mitt Romney is getting more hits on FB right now or most days, than Obama is.
She's a democratic "strategist" on TV--not an advisor. Do you understand the difference? A media "strategist" is a talking head who goes on TV and explains how a political side would view an issue--they get paid by the NETWORK to present a viewpoint. They have no affiliation with a campaign--they're media people. An advisor is hired by a campaign to develop strategy and a message for the candidate. She isn't an advisor. If you can find one shred of evidence that she's a formal advisor, great, but I haven't seen it. I'm guessing that she may have met with the administration in her role as a LOBBYIST for different organizations in the past.
If you're going to rant, rave, and name call, I'd suggest that you learn even the most basic things about how campaigns and the political process works first. The Many Careers of Hilary Rosen - Yahoo! News
Actually, Rosen was an adviser to Obama and the administration on 'messaging' on Obamacare. She has been very involved in this administration and works for the DNC.
Quote:
Demonstrating the political element of the health care debate, the records show that senior adviser Axelrod held what was described as a "communications message meeting" on March 13 with 18 people, including prominent Democratic strategists Brad Woodhouse, the party's communications director, and his predecessor Karen Finney; Steve McMahon, a campaign veteran and media strategist; Hilary Rosen, the former top lobbyist for the music industry; Jennifer Palmieri of the liberal Center for American Progress, John Edwards' former press secretary and a veteran of the Clinton White House; Maria Cardona, a specialist in Hispanic outreach at the Dewey Square Group; and Simon Rosenberg a founder of the centrist New Democrat Network.
Wouldn't insulting all working mothers be a 'war on women' who work at being mothers...lol? The Obama campaign isn't running against John McCain this time around. They are going to have to sharpen up their game quite a bit.
apparently jerky Hillary finally did apologize. Of course it is an insult on all women, period. Whether a women chooses to be a stay at home mom, tries to combine working inside and outside the home or chooses to be childless and have a career only has nothing to do with anything. Women do work hard especially those who have children. the idiot should have kept her mouth shut period. Apologizing is better than nothing, but she shouldn't have said wht she did to begin with.
And YOU are an embarrassment to the Republican Party and American Politics in general. You have ZERO problem attacking Democratic women and then claim you are only pointing out the facts, but scream outrage if anyone does the same to one of yours. Your Hypocracy is obvious for anyone here that has read your "stuff" on this site, but then most Party Hacks are hypocritical, they must be to stay true to their tactics. You have ZERO credibility.
