Ann Romney Tells Women, Young People To ‘Wake Up!’

Ann Romney Tells Women, Young People To ‘Wake Up!’

Ann Romney called on women and young Americans to take control of their future in this tough economy by voting for Mitt Romney at a rally in Findlay, Ohio, Wednesday.

Romney stressed that the two groups who have suffered the most are women and young Americans coming out of college without jobs, and told them to "wake up!"

Romney reached out specifically to young people who voted for Obama in 2008: "those kids, I promise you, you'll have a better future if Mitt is the president." To women, she urged, "you better vote for Mitt."

She likes telling people to "wake up" --- she tells the maid to wake up and clean the house, the cook to wake up and make her breakfast, the gardener to wake up and mow that lawn....and if she could pay them less than minimum wage, she would!

She's a complete snob. She knows nothing about what anyone actually needs, she just knows she wants to measure for the drapes in the White House.

Has she ever articulated an actual point?

Other than Mitt is the right guy, he will work hard?

So much hostility from "that" woman.


Is that a threat...or maybe it's one of those wacky repug jokes...or desperation!!!

Talk about being a separate spoiled snob. Ann is not and cannot understand and relate to the working class.

If they wake up, they might actually realize what a Mitt presidency would mean to the country.

Nobody is buying your elitist, condescending crap anymore. You will never be the first lady because you don't deserve it and your husband doesn't deserve the presidency. Ride your dancing pony off a cliff.
