Ann Romney: It was my early birthday present for someone to be critical of me as a mother.

10. I guess when you have everything money can buy

you look at the idea of a 'birthday gift' from a different perspective.

I guess she must have been tickled pink by this comment of her own beloved husband:


"I wanted to increase the work requirement. I said,
for instance, that even if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to
work. And people said, 'Well that's heartless.' And I said, 'No, no, I'm
willing to spend more giving day care to allow those parents to go back to
work. It'll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the
individuals to have the dignity of work.'"In March:"If you've never had job in the private sector, It's hard for you
to understand how the economy works."
(—Mitt Romney, discussing welfare reform on January 4, 2012)

What was that... an early anniversary gift?





I feel sad for her that she sees this as a "really defining moment".

I'm about as far from rich as one can get, and honestly admit that mothering my children has been the greatest experience of my life.

Ann Romney's need to capitalize on this silly incident as a 'really defining moment' speaks volumes about her life and her values.

Not in very positive ways.
