Ann - Mitt Under Pressure

On October 18, 2012 Whoopi Goldberg of The View said to Ann Romney - one of the jobs you have as First Lady is to talk to the families of deceased veterans returning home; Ann cleared up that their faith doesn’t prevent them from joining or fighting in the military – she said none have served by one son feels he’s giving back because he’s a doctor taking care of veterans. She said she sent her boys on missions to help others and they came back men and she thinks this is what the military does. She did acknowledge that our military is sacrificing their lives for us and said as Governor Mitt went to the funeral of every veteran and it was the hardest thing for him to do. Ann also told us when Mitt went to Stanford and then on his mission, she hadn’t seen him for about 3 1/2 years and she was dating others – it put Mitt in a French hospital but when he returned it was like time stood still; they were back where they were and they’ve been together ever since. Josh Romney said when his father is left alone on the campaign trail too long he starts to get a little crazy so they bring their mother in for Mitt to unload on her and then he relaxes. Ann said the term Mitt stabilizer was given to her by the boys because they noticed growing up that Mitt would get crazy until he shared things with her. Ann also said if he doesn’t win the election there will be no more politics–they’ll stay in Massachusetts. If they do win she’ll work with at risk youths-the most important thing is that they know they’re loved and God thinks they’re precious; she’ll also have multiple sclerosis and cancer as her causes.

Comparing our military to a Mormon mission – really? Mitt while on his mission wrote – I love Ann in the sand – how does this compare to the hardship and horror our military is experiencing. I’m happy to hear attending military funerals was hard for him, at least there was some compassion but some isn’t enough. In looking at the Romney family history it has no courage and I don’t think that one son being a doctor treating the military is giving back to our country – it’s just that he’s the only one that doesn’t have a job in the family business. If Mitt can’t handle the pressure of Ann dating other people or the stress of the campaign how can he handle the pressure of being the President of the USA?
