1. If she thinks the campaign is hard, why would she want to be in the White House?

Seriously - campaigning is the easy part and there's no way in hell Mitt can handle the heavy burden of being president, no way Ann can handle the responsibility of being first lady.

WHY WOULD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LET THEM ANYWHERE NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE??????

once he gets through the WH gates. He'll be robo-signing neo-con, supply side crap a couple mornings a week then kicking back and relaxing. That Mid-East mess will works itself out somehow.

I agree, Mitt is on board with the GOP and thinks he will be protected by the M$M the way W was.

Basically it is a "You people are Lucky that Mitt is willing to do something as petty as being Your President.

7. Someone's got to make a movie about this!

It's a comedy - of course!

And they have to include all the comments that other countries
are making about America and it's peculiarities.

We'll look so stupid they'll lower our credit rating again.
The justification will be that if we can't even run an election without screwing
up the ballots and blocking part of the electorate then we sure as hell can't
handle our finances.

Then, the world bank will appoint an oversight board to monitor our progress
as we try to whittle down the debt.

9. It goes far beyond a sense of entitlement, although
Fri Sep 21, 2012, 11:53 AM

she and Mitt have a sense of entitlement so huge that it's almost unmeasurable.

But neither one of them has had a truly difficult job, even though they think they have.

Attending Harvard is probably not a picnic. But I'm under the distinct impression that it's almost impossible to flunk out. For someone who is working full-time while getting a degree, there's a huge time commitment. If you're only attending school (and I've done it both ways) your time commitment simply isn't that huge.

While being a stay-at-home mom isn't a picnic either, if you can afford even minimal household help, say a once a week cleaning service, you get to skip some of the more wearying aspects of the job, and get to focus on the fun and interesting stuff. And if you're a stay-at-home mom of any kind, you don't have to juggle getting to work, worrying that if you must miss a day because a kid is sick you'll lose your job. A working mom who can afford serious household (housekeeper, nannies) also does not fully understand the genuine balancing act the vast majority of working moms do.

In other words, while by their lights they've worked hard, they have not remotely experienced what life is like for the 90% out there. They don't have friends among the 90%, and only interact with them when those people are waiting on them in some way. And that doesn't happen very often for people in their stratospheric level of wealth.
