"President Obama is extremely wealthy. He and his wife have been wealthy for a number of years, and so I think that's really the issue. President Obama is wealthy, what do, or -- what does he understand about the common man right now? And I think what people care about is not hating someone for what their assets are -- the American people don't hate President Obama because he's a very wealthy individual. What they care about is how their lives are, would their lives be better? And I think it's very clear under the Romney-Ryan ticket the average Americans' lives will be much better, they'll have a lot more money to spend in the way that they want, and they'll also have a much more secure future for their children. That's what the American people want, and that's what we'll offer with this new Romney-Ryan ticket." - Michele Bachmann, speaking to USA Today.

I love this comment
Good ol' Thom 'Jim Crow' Tillis. Anything to interfere with legitimate voters. We have idiots running the Jones St. landfill.
Ann Romney just a ‘corporate wife’
This is Shock, even for Fox News,
Fox News political analyst Juan Williams shocked his fellow panelists during Tuesday night’s Republican National Convention when he went off script and said that Ann Romney was just a “corporate wife” whose husband takes care of her.
then again this also piss them off too,
Earlier this year, similar comments made by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen, that Ann Romney had “never worked a day in her life,” were met with outrage at Fox News.
Williams also had this to say,
“It looks like a woman whose husband takes care of her and she’s been very lucky and blessed in this life,” Williams observed. “She’s not speaking, I think, for the tremendous number of single women in this country or married women or separated — she did not convince me that, ‘You know what? I understand the struggles of American women in general.”
Which didn’t make Megyn Kelly happy at all.
Ann Romney didn’t even take care of her own kids, nannies and maids other people she paid did. Yet she knows she has it good, and she not going to rock her boat.
Here's what Rosen said, exactly, about Mitt's reliance on Ann's "expertise":
Guess what? His wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing.
Rosen comments on twitter and Ann’s too,
Rosen tweeted, "I've nothing against @AnnRomney. I just don't want Mitt using her as an expert on women struggling $ to support their family. She isn't." And she also spoke at Ann directly, "@AnnDRomney Please know, I admire you. But your husband shouldn't say you are his expert on women and the economy." Ann, of course, did not reply,
So just how can Ann Romney who never work a job in her life be an expect on women who are struggling to support their families. Cause you know damn well she had hired help to deal with those boys..

CHARLOTTE - The North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP is hosting a "Clergy, Faith and Justice Prayer Breakfast" on Labor Day, September 3, 2012 in Charlotte, NC at 7:00 AM. The breakfast coincides but does not affiliate with the Democratic National Convention, where thousands will arrive in North Carolina's largest city in the midst of the most important election of this generation. There will be media availability for principle speakers at the breakfast.
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the NC NAACP, Mr. Hilary O. Shelton, NAACP Washington Bureau Director and Senior Vice President for Advocacy, Rev. Kojo Nantambu, Religious and Education Advocacy Director for the NC NAACP and other faith leaders and activists will hold a discussion on the moral issues that shape and frame this year's election: voting rights, education equality, economic justice, labor rights, access to quality health care and racial disparities in the criminal justice system. The breakfast will take place at Greater Galilee Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev. Robert E. Lee McGowens, Sr.
"Forty-nine years ago today, at the March on Washington, a diverse, progressive and committed group of Americans put before the nation a moral agenda to address voting rights, civil rights, educational equality, jobs and labor rights," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the North Carolina NAACP. "Forty-nine years later, as we see a constant barrage of attacks against voting rights, widening economic injustice and poverty, challenges to health care, and attacks on public education along with continuing disparities in the criminal justice system, we must again keep a strong moral agenda rooted in love and justice before the nation and both political parties."
A news conference announcing the prayer breakfast will take place on Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 11:00 AM at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 E. Fourth Street (corner of Fourth and Davidson Streets) in downtown Charlotte. Rev.
