[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know whether you agree with Hillary Rosen.  That is the real question.  If you do and if you are inclined to vote for President Obama anyway, then you are predisposed to defend Rosen, blame Rosen's statements and the aftermath on Ann Romney and the Republicans--and that is what you appear to be doing.  Do you think that a woman who raised a household full of boys and likely speaks on a daily basis with her husband about issues and who has battled cancer and MS is somehow incapable of having opinions?  A similar description could apply to a woman you undoubtedly admire.  Eleanor Roosevelt was rich, raised many children, was very politically active but probably never had a "real job" and yet she is today an excellent example of a strong and opinionated woman.  And I am quite sure that Mrs. Roosevelt did all that she did with the help of Nannies, Cooks, and other household staff while Ann Romney has had the help of a cleaning lady on a weekly basis and that is about it.

So what do YOU think?  Do you think Ann Romney's opinions are worthless because she never held a "real job?"[/quote]

Thank you for a great post--I agree with you! I've worked since our kids were in preschool, but I have many friends who didn't and know that their skills at running a household, fulfilling volunteer commitments, and making decisions (yes, financial decisions) with their husbands make them in no way less capable of understanding economic issues. I truly don't understand why women can't appreciate the contributions of those who choose to not work outside the home. Btw, I'm a big admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt.[/quote]
