Yes Ann, and those women who don't have a choice are just as thrilled as you are. Living on a shoe string, hoping that they cover the rent, can put food on the table, pay the bills, clothe their children. I'm sure you know how life isn't easy when it comes to that kind of situation.
Yes Ann, those are all the things that women who don't have a choice do while holding down a job. I'm sure you know what it's like to scrape the bottom of your handbag looking for change, have a zero balance in your checkbook or maxed our your credit card because you had to put food on the table or the kids needed shoes. I'm sure your had sleepness nights wondering if you were going to get through the next month to keep the roof over your familly's head. They may have some help at home - a husband who is unemployed and struggling to look for a job. Would that be her domestic help?
Yes Ann, you aren't any different from those single parent women.
So you admit your a loser? Wow, now we must try to beat people down in America. Way to go Obama, the great uniter!!!
YOU WISH YOU WERE ANN Envy and jealousy is really non-becoming.

You could have done the same, rather than stand there with a bad attitude and your hand out.
It's not Ann's fault you didn't succeed, it's YOUR fault...
I love it, and couldn't have said it better myself.
Based on the way she spends our money on frivolous vacations, I would have to say that she has forgotten her humble beginnings. Or she doesn't give a crap about us. She knows most Americans are struggling and she spends $1 million of or tax money on vacations? But, I guess that is ok since she understands what it is like to be poor. She deserves it. Whatever.
Based on how you characterized others as jealous when they criticized Ann Romney, it sounds here like you may have been bitten by the green-eyed monster.
If you're a man with politcal aspirations on the right, you better marry a toothless street prostitute with 7 kids and cancer who is educated enough and elegant enough to look "first ladylike." Isn't that the history of the first ladies from the left?

I certainly wouldn't call someone a winner who needs to resort to name calling and making silly claims to make their "argument". But I guess when all else fails ..............knock yourself out. What you responded to was not a description of me, but what many struggling working women go through. As a single parent I worked my way up to making no less that $75,000 and a six figure salary in a good year and that was 12 years ago. Hardly what I would describe as a loser.
So every working woman who is struggling to make ends meet, in your opinion, is a loser? Aren't you charming.
I don't wish to be anyone as I'm very comfortable with who I am.

How is pointing out jealousy in other's show my jealousy? That doesn't make any sense. You could say it makes me judgemental maybe. That would be valid. But, I am not jealous of other people's jealousy. Lol. Good try though....well, not really.
Apparently some people don't get the point. This has nothing to do with money,
she doesn't get paid for that day, and that missing that one day's pay could make the difference in paying the rent or buying food.
For a minute, let us accept that Ann never experienced a single woman/parent struggle in life.
Hell, let's just make Ann a man.
It still has to do with money, politically speaking.
Especially when using federal tax dollars to pay for poor women/men with children.
There needs to be an education of sorts - you shouldn't have a child/children
you, yourself, can not afford to care for their basic needs.
At least that's the wisdom, my single parent working mom of four passed down to me
You really think that what you just outlined is that majority?
Here is where your post really looks foolish - Michelle Obama only has 2 kids - no boys. She has not had breast cancer and has not had her husband leave her. She does not have to hold down a job to feed the family. By your standard, she would be pretending as well yet you don't spout this stuff about her. Why?
Because Michelle Obama didn't grow up in a "nice" neighborhood???
Because the "gifted and talented" programs Michelle Obama was a part of were in public schools?
Michelle Obama has lifetime experiences that approximate the kinds of lives the average American woman live.
I think quite highly of Ann Romney, but she's never had real financial worries. Average people do. And financial worries color every part of a person's life. When you are trying to decide if you're going to pay the electric bill or the mortgage this month, you also are counting your pennies about the gas you put in the car, you're not going anywhere, you're not buying magazines at the store, you're letting out Susie's old dress so that her younger sister Sharon can wear it this year. You're hollering at Tommy for ripping his jeans because you can't afford to buy new jeans, and these were his good jeans to wear to church. It's these kinds of thoughts, and how money affects every aspect of their lives, this kind of reality, that average Americans do deal with, and Mrs Romney, who seems generous and caring and genuine, still for all her empathy, would have a hard time understanding, because it's utterly foreign to her. When money gets tight and Mitt can just sell more stock, that's a reality that foreign to the rest of us, but that was Ann Romney's reality when she and Mitt were just starting out. When they needed a place to live near Harvard, Mitt's dad bought it for them. That was Ann Romney's reality, which is foreign to the average American. They started out with money, made more money, and made more and more and more money. That's not the reality for average Americans.

You may not be jealous of other people's jealousy (gosh, who would be?), but evidently you have reading comprehension problems.
Your post about Michelle Obama, and all her vacations, dripped of jealousy.
If you're a man with politcal aspirations on the right, you better marry a toothless street prostitute with 7 kids and cancer who is educated enough and elegant enough to look "first ladylike." Isn't that the history of the first ladies from the left?
This is not a worthy remark coming from you.
