(43,166 posts)Hilary Rosen is in no way a paid strategist for the Obama campaign. She's actually a paid troll of right wing media producers to make it look as if she speaks for the Obama campaign. Then Romney strategists can cry 'foul' about some alleged hypocritical attack on a candidate spouse, and drag the Obama campaign down to the level the Republicans are comfortable with.
Not to mention that this is an obvious attempt at yet another false equivalency argument that tries to keep evangelical or unemployed Republican women from bleeding toward the Democratic Party, particularly after the nationwide revelation about ALEC's ten-year, 700-bill organized legal attack against women and the middle class.
Hilary Rosen made a mistake and should not be given a pass. Ann Romney doesn't support any other class of stay-at-home or working women but those of her own church. Sure, both women are 'right' in a very narrow sense, but don't aid and abet some Republican attempt to fool women that they are on their side just because one of the rich ones stayed home, as if any woman voter could 'have an Arnold Palmer or swap recipes' with Ann Romney.
Hilary Rosen is job hunting. The Obama campaign has more serious issues to campaign on. The serious campaigning starts in the summer, and this media dust up is filler.
