As a feminist, a mother, an Obama-supporter and someone who has alternatively put my career on hold and pursued it while staying home with my children, Rosen needs to back away from this. Ann Romney is not in your typical American tax-bracket, and I agree she is very likely out of touch with the struggles of many American women, but this is a no-win argument. Being rich does not preclude you from being sympathetic to other’s struggles. And unless someone can tell me what’s going on in Ann Romney’s head, this is a bad line of reasoning to pursue an “out of touch” argument about Mitt Romney. Ann doesn’t make policy. But Mitt has. Leave his wife out of it even if he doesn’t.
