Ann Romney, a breast cancer survivor, will visit the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida on Wednesday — which has received millions from the stimulus (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act).

2. YES! I hope she is confronted, but I doubt she will be

What those Romney Ryan folks are doing is shameless, just shameless capitalizing on compassion. So Queen Ann pays a visit to sick people, think of the hundreds of times Michelle and Jill Biden have done something for families of soldiers over the last 4 years. The Romneys act like the military doesn't exist until they use in in their campaign. Sickening.
