One thing has been missed in the Rosen comments. She was actually being consistent by attacking Ann Romney if you remember that the key meme is “The Romenys are rich, and you are not.” This morning I heard Obama say that we should get away from the distraction over Rosen’s unfortunate comments and focus on the real issues—like his Buffet rule.

It’s all about class envy. Hilary Rosen was being consistent and making her comments within that framework, but the smear to Ann, who raised five kids, has MS, and survived cancer wasn’t direct enough, so it caused a furor.

I disagree with you on that. I think Rush Limbaugh hit the nail on the head yesterday when he suggested that Democrats in national politics have an deep-rooted resentment of people like the Romney's because they come across as a completely normal family. Democrats on the national stage, by and large, are effed-up misfits.

Heck -- just go through Barack Obama's family history to see how far south of "normal" these people are. I still have no idea who all of those characters in his past (mother, father, stepfather, grandparents, Communist babysitters, etc.) are. That guy hasn't even used the same name for his entire life.

Yes. Obama came out and said (paraphrase) ‘some women don't have the LUXURY to be stay at home moms’. Luxury being the key word in his non-apology apology. It IS only about class warfare. None of the Dems ‘apologies’ rang true. They are angry that the ignorant public didn't get their point. What Obama really meant was ‘the Romneys are rich so you need to hate them and be jealous of them for me to get re-elected’. He doesn't care about anyone but his Marxist comrades and if (hopefully when, not if) the public realizes that, he is done.

I agree, I also believe that the idea was to try to link class envy with the so called “war on women” so that they can continue along two lines of attack.

If the democrat machine can get people to believe that the choice to stay home to raise your children is only based on money, the divide gets larger.

The mistake they are making is that the woman (I use the term loosely) that was chosen to present the narrative and test the waters is living in the bubble of liberal elitist's. They just don't understand that they are the ones who are out of touch with the average American.

I am a working mother, this has been both by necessity and choice during different periods of my life.
