Yet another wealthy democratic woman says Ann Romney can't speak for women because she's wealthy

With the way the media keeps digging at this Ann Romney story they are gonna hit china soon.

And work as she may, that’s one place Ann Romney has never been. She has spent her life in the private precincts of the marital workplace, where emotional ties replace the financial norms of the factory or office.

Now, she has emerged to campaign for her husband and to explain to him what women want. “I’ve had the fun of being out with my wife the last several days on the campaign trail,” Mitt Romney told Fox Newsthis month. “And she points out that as she talks to women, they tell her that their number one concern is the economy.”

At a recent campaign event, Romney said he wished his wife were there to help answer a question about female voters. “She says that she’s going across the country and talking with women, and what they’re talking about is the debt that we’re leaving the next generation and the failure of this economy to put people back to work.”

When Ann Romney’s husband, who faces a gender gap in some polls, uses her experience and insight as a megaphone for women’s concern over fewer paid jobs, he mistakenly assumes that all women are fungible. Which was, I take it, Rosen’s original point.

That last part is rich coming from a woman who belongs to a party that believes not wanting to force religious institutions to violate their tenets is a "war on women" and other faux outrage over anything the GOP says about women that strays from liberal orthodoxy.

I guess these media shills will do anything to keep themselves from having to cover Obama's failures but this is doomed to backfire.

Obama Promises to Tackle Immigration Reform in 2nd Term

Is there a constituency this man won't shamelessly pander to?

Of course the answer to that is he won't pander to fiscal conservatives, budget hawks, supply-siders, people who have actually experience with creating jobs, conservative women, etc.

But today we see Obama going on univision, the nations largest spanish speaking network, and panders to Hispanics by promising to pass immigration reform in the first year of his second term.

“I can promise that I will try to do it in the first year of my second term,” Obama said in an interview with Univision set to air on Sunday. “I want to try this year. The challenge we’ve got on immigration reform is very simple. I’ve got a majority of Democrats who are prepared to vote for it, and I’ve got no Republicans who are prepared to vote for it. …

He made this same promise 4 years ago and for 2 years he had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and a huge majority in the House yet he didn't bother trying to pass it then. Why? Well you and I both know the answer to that - because the vast majority of America opposes the sort of comprehensive immigration reform Obama wants to implement and it would have affected his reelection chances. Of course now he can say he wants to try to pass it but he can't because those evil, racist, immigrant hating GOPhers won't let him so he won't even try. This, ladies and gentlemen, is our post partisan President.

Now just for laughs let's take a look at what he said in 2008.

That’s the commitment I’m making to you. I marched with you in the streets of Chicago to meet our immigration challenge. I fought with you in the Senate for comprehensive immigration reform. And I will make it a top priority in my first year as President – not only because we have an obligation to secure our borders and get control of who comes in and out of our country. And not only because we have to crack down on employers who are abusing undocumented immigrants instead of hiring citizens. But because we have to finally bring undocumented immigrants out of the shadows. Yes, they broke the law. And they should have to pay a fine, and learn English, and go to the back of the line. That’s how we’ll put them on a pathway to citizenship. That’s how we’ll finally fix our broken immigration system and avoid creating a servant class in our midst. It’s time to reconcile our values and principles as a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. That’s what this election is all about.

So Mr. President, the nation wants to know. Why didn't you pursue immigration reform when your party overwhelmingly controlled Washington?

Why Hasn't Obama Called Ann Romney?

Inquisitive minds want to know.

Media Continues Attacking Ann Romney....Obama Hardest Hit

For, at least, the 4th time in 3 days there is another media piece out slamming Ann Romney for being unable to relate to "American women." This time it's arch-liberal Michael Tomasky at the Daily Beast. He says Ann, because of her wealth, is unable to understand the plight of "American women" and then uses her Multiple Sclerosis and survival of breast cancer to launch into a full frontal attack on Mitt.

But what of the millions of women who share her bad luck health-wise but don’t share her good luck wealth-wise? We don’t know what she thinks, and maybe since she’s not the candidate she is under no obligation to tell us, interesting as it might be to find out. But we do know what her husband, her own presumed insurance provider, thinks. He thinks the hell with them. He used to care about them, when he passed a law giving them a fair shot at buying affordable coverage, but now he wants to repeal the law that does the same thing nationally, and the only reason is political calculation and cowardice. That’s his, not hers. But I do wonder whether she agrees with him that these women should be left on their own because to help them would be to hand a political victory to the enemy.

This doesn't surprise me at all as any sane person could've seen this coming from the moment it happened. Of course he then talks about how only his party can talk about women's issues and only liberals can sympathize with struggling mothers.

Now I wonder how much Michael Tomasky makes or who he feels can speak most strongly for these struggling women. Surely he can't mean Hilary Rosen or Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton or Teresa Heinz-Kerry or Hilda Solis or NOW President Terry O'Neill can he? Each one of them is far from struggling and has been far from struggling for a long time. Yet, of course that is what he means when he says Ann Romney can't connect with "American women" because she isn't just wealthy but an icky conservative.

There is an actual debate you can have on this issue but the moment those who think they are our betters start claiming that women with conservative beliefs aren't really women, but gender traitors, then that debate has died before it even started.

Of course this hurts Obama more than Romney. Tomasky, and his peers, can believe all they want that attacking Ann has more upside than risks but they are wrong. Not only does this help galvanize the conservative base behind Mitt, a base that has deep misgivings about him, but it will turn off independents both, right and left leaning. They will come to view Ann with a much more sympathetic view, especially when the portion of the public that doesn't pay much attention to politics finds out she has Multiple Sclerosis and survived breast cancer.

For that I say thank you Rosen for your Kinsleyan slip and thank you liberal media for continuing to attack a woman whose sole crime, in their eyes, is being wealthy.
