Has Ann Romney ever gone on a job interview? [View all]

I think what Rosen said was correct. Yes, taking care of children is work, but it's not the kind of work we're talking about. All these people complaining about what Rosen said, they must be aware of all the people "out of work", right? Does that mean they can't find their kids to take care of? No, the kids are right there, what they can't find is a JOB. So part of the kind of "working" we're talking about is FINDING the work.

So, to avoid confusion, maybe Rosen should have said, "Ann Romney has never interviewed for a job. She has never looked in the want ads. She has never been to Monster.com. She has never feared getting fired. etc. etc." And then the motherhood deflection doesn't work.
