Ann Romney not so high on Clint, implies Obama not a mature adult
On Mitt Romney's biggest night, it seemed that Clint Eastwood's moment stole the show. Norah O'Donnell and Charlie Rose spoke with Ann Romney about Eastwood's moment.

...O’Donnell’s co-host, Charlie Rose, persisted: “But you seem to be surprised by…Clint Eastwood’s performance as the camera took a cutaway of you.”

“I didn’t know it was coming,” Romney replied...

She also implied that President Obama is not a mature adult capable of handling the nation’s considerable economic problems.

“I’m not a political pundit so I’m not going to be able to really answer that,” Romney said about the GOP’s gender gap. “But I will tell you what I’m hearing from women across the country right now….I'm hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for a Republican before that said, it's time for the grown-up to come, the man that's going to…take this very seriously and take the future of our children very seriously.”

gave themselves use tax cuts and added $4 trillion to the debt? That won't admit that some people aren't born with silver spoons in their mouths? Those 'grown-ups'?

She is a terrible woman. Truly. Don't you have some maids and nannies that need supervising, Anne? Go away.

Ann Romney was not considered to be sympathetic to the agitation of liberal women within the stake. She was invited to social events sponsored by Exponent II but did not attend. She was, in the words of one member, understood to be “not that kind of woman.”
