Ann Romney is sick of you people not understanding how hard it is to be Ann Romney
by Kaili Joy Gray

Ann Romney is once again up on her gold-plated cross, and she's got another message for the ingrates out there who don't appreciate how hard it is to be her:
During an interview early this evening with Radio Iowa, Mrs. Romney directly addressed her fellow Republicans whove criticized her husband.
Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring, she said. This is hard and, you know, its an important thing that were doing right now and its an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitts qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country.
Ann has told "you people" time and time again to leave Mitt alone, stop asking questions, and just be grateful that he's willing to run for president. Shut up and show a little appreciation for the Romneys and their willingness to make the ultimate sacrificepassing up constant $30 million-a-year job offers, even though "poor guy, he took no pay when he did the Olympics for three years and no pay when he was governor for four years."
She's tried to make women get it:
"Women, you need to wake up," she urged them. "Women have to ask themselves who's going to have and be there for you. I can promise you, I know, that Mitt will be there for you. He will stand up for you, he will hear your voices."
She's tried to make Latinos get it:
Youd better really look at your future and figure out whos going to be the guy thats going to make it better for you and your children, and there is only one answer...
...It really is a message that would resonate well if they could just get past some of their biases that have been there from the Democratic machines that have made us look like we dont care about this community.

But no. You people just won't let up, with the mockery of the Romneys' car elevator; with the questions about all those millions stashed away in secret bank accounts; with the outright disgust at Ann's tales of woe about struggling to survive on Mitt's inherited stock portfolio.
But you peopleyou women, you Latinos, you Democrats and now you Republicansjust don't get it. You're so mean and classless with all your questions and doubt and disgust. Heck, that's why Ann so astutely noted:
My horse has more style and more class in its hoof than they do in their whole deal.
Ugh. You people. You just have no idea how hard it is to be Ann. Just stop it.

I'm surprised she didn't say "own the country" in a leveraged buy-out

Exactly..."we use ann sparingly so that people don't get tired of her and start complaining."
