I’ve been trying to ignore the whole Hilary Rosen controversy. The one where Republicans use a stupid remark made by a CNN contributor to get everyone to stop talking about the Republican war on women.<\/p>\n

Somehow, one person’s foolish remark is supposed to mean that President Obama and his fellow Dems diss stay-at-home moms:<\/a><\/p>\n

The presidential campaign was consumed this week by controversy over Ann Romney and stay-at-home moms. Republicans seized on a stray comment by CNN contributor Hilary Rosen, who said Ann Romney had \u201cnever worked a day in her life.\u201d Romney responded to the Rosen comments in a speech to the National Rifle Association on Friday, saying, “I happen to believe that all moms are working moms.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But earlier this year, Romney said this on the topic of welfare:<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to increase the work requirement,\u201d Romney said. \u201cI said, for instance, that even if you have a child two years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, \u2018Well that’s heartless,’ and I said \u2018No, no, I’m willing to spend more giving daycare to allow those parents to go back to work. It’ll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work<\/strong>.\u2019\u201d (emphasis added)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So apparently, raising children is dignified work only when done by wealthy gals like Ann Romney.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Mommy Madness (Limerick)
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney and Ann like to bitch
\nThat the Dems have thrown moms down the ditch.
\nYet Romney’s the jerk
\nWho said child care ain’t work,
\nUnless done by a mommy who’s rich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
