average middle class or poor women. She can't. Nothing in her life experience would make that so.

Ok, so let’s stop the BS about Mitt’s wife. Sure any woman that bears 5 children has met her own set of issues. But please lay off Hillary Rosen for her comments. L Raising 5 children with all the money you will ever need, with the help of nannies, housekeepers, and chauffeurs, is not the same as a working mom with five kids having to worry about child care expenses, healthcare expenses, having pay docked for taking time off to tend to sick kids, cooking and for the family , including the working husband who himself is facing his own issues with intolerant bosses and co-workers, getting enough money together for high gas prices, catching buses, washing, ironing etc. There is just no comparison …PERIOD!! So stop pretending that Ann Romney has had to deal with what ordinary working moms face and please stop pretending that she really understands their situation. She doesn’t and she doesn’t care either.
