7. This quote ... does anyone here know what this means...

Quote: ‘Excuse me. He was there when my son was dying of leukemia. He came to my son’s bedside. He did all of these things for my son.’

I don't know this story, and I'm pretty sure they had the best government-sponsored and paid-for health care plus what their money could buy. So for a son with leukemia and Ann's MS...they have my sympathy.

That being said ... My son?

Aren't they all his sons? Or does she have children from another father? If not, what does this have to do with empathy beyond what any father would do?

Even the article is all about Ann, Mitt and sons ... not one word about those "people" whose sons had lukemia or mothers with MS or any other tragic disease ... they, too, deserve, dare I say, "ObamaCares" healthcare... because he does.
