All women know real-world problems

I have a question for Ms. Hilary Rosen, a senior Democrat strategist. Since stay-at-home mom Ann Romney is not qualified to speak for “working” women since, according to you, she has never worked a day in her life, then tell me who is qualified? Would a nurse really understand the working world of a corporate executive? Or perhaps a teacher that of an airline pilot? How about a cleaning lady that of a commodities trader? Could any one of these women speak with understanding for any and all “working” women?

Or can the National Organization for Women (the liberals’ designated spokesperson for all women), ensconced in their ivory tower of irrelevance, truly understand the needs of all women? I don’t think so!

What any woman, whether working in or out of the house, understands and shares with every other woman are the real-world problems facing them, such as how do I adjust to the crushing gas prices? Or, how do I cope with the inflation (created by the fed printing money 24/7 to cover the Obama-created $1 trillion-plus budget deficit) that shrinks my paycheck and at the same time increases my grocery bills? A double whammy! Or, can I find a job in this moribund economy?

Yes, these are the real issues facing all women, not who is the proper spokesperson. So please, Ms. Rosen, don’t try to discredit Mrs. Romney.

Unfortunately, Ms. Rosen’s comment is typical of the upcoming election campaign. President Obama’s record is so abysmal that the Democrats cannot defend it; instead, the strategy is to destroy (discredit, demean, marginalize, spread lies) the enemy. (The enemy? The Republican presidential candidate.) This is the strategy that David Axelrod, Obama’s campaign manager, has publicly stated. Nice!
