To begin, our country is in trouble. We have crumbling roads and bridges and faultering infrastruce. We have climate change bringing severe droughts to our farmlands and blistering heat to our cities and devastating fires in our national parks as a result. We have banks and corporations that are destroying our jobs by taking them overseas and all the while they are making huge profits by hedging their bets against the very Americans that help them to become sucessful and thrive. The rich are getting richer and insisting that they have the right to have offshore bank accounts to avoid paying taxes that the rest of us pay...and then they say they have the right to continusouly recceive tax breaks and cuts because they are THE FACE OF AMERICA AND PROSPERITY AND THAT IT IS THEY WHO CREATE JOBS.

We have 33,000 troops coming back to their country they fought for and who will employ them? Who will make sure they get what the need and deserve in the way of health and mental health support? Who will cut through the red tape of stacks and staccks of files in government buildings collecting dust while these very same brave soldiers wait for their GI benefits? Who will talk a soldier out of trying to take his life or someone elses because that soldier is fed up with the non-existant support from its government?

Just this week the Republicans in the senate killed a jobs bill that would set the stage for funding for our soldiers already back from the wars and the returning ones. Just this week the Replublicans in the senate killed a bill that would provide relief for the farmers that suffered the severe drought this year....and THEN THE US CONGRESS ANNOUNCED THAT WILL ADDRESS THE FARM BILL WHNE THEY RETURN FROM THEIR 7 WEEK VACATION!!!!!!!!!

There are companies like The Bank of America getting ready to lay of 10's of 1,000's of workers by December of this year (and of course it will be President Obama's fault!!!). More companies have announced this week that they will be letting people go by the end of the year. This happens every year about this time: companies downsize and provide lower quality service and ask their remaining workers to do the job of the laid off workers plus their own job all in the name of saving money....

This country is hated like never before all across the spectrum but mainly in the Middle East. We are one big target...and if you thought September the 11th, 2001 was something, hold on to your hats because its just a matter of time before the terror attacks on US soil explode.

This country is going backwards. As a nation, we should stop caring about money, money, money, oil, oil, oil, power, power, power, AND STOP TRYING TO REBUILD THE WORLD AND MAKE OTHER COUNTRIES ADOPT AMERICAN WAYS OF POLICY AND DEMOCRACY....LET OTHER COUNTRIES FIX THEIR OWN PROBLEMS. GET BACK TO MAKING AMERICA STRONG IN ALL AREAS AND DEFENDING HER FROM THESE COUNTRIES THAT ARE STILL LIVING IN THE AGE OF WHEN THE CAVE MAN DISCOVERED FIRE.

IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN WE AS A PEOPLE LET OUR VOTING RIGHTS BE RAILROADED AND STOLEN. IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN OUR GOVERNMENT ELECTED BODY VOTES DOWN HELPING SOLDIERS THAT RISKED EVERYTHING FOR THIS COUNTRY. IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN BEING A RICH PERSON GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT YOU WANT AND SCREW THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN 3,000 PEOPLE DIE FOR NOTHING MORE THAN BEING AMERICAN AND GOING TO WORK ON WALL ST.

ROMNEY IS A BAFFOON. HE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING HE IS PROMISING AND IF A SITUATION ARISES IN THE MIDDLE EAST HE'S ALL FOR GOING TO WAR....IMMEDIATELY!!!!! RYAN IS A PUPPET AND IS GOING ALONG FOR THE RIDE SO HE CAN ONE DAY RUN FOR THE SAME OFFICE. PRESIDENT OBAMA ATLEAST HAS THE BALLS TO TRY TO MAKE THIS A BETTER COUNTRY FOR ALL. HE IS NOT A MAGICIAN, HE IS NOT A GOD, HE IS NOT A MIRACLE WORKER. HE IS A MAN WHO LOVES HIS COUNTRY. HE IS A MAN THAT HAS MADE HISTORY AND HAS PROVEN TO US ALL WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY THIS IS AND CAN ALWAYS BE...A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY FOR US ALL -- NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RACE, RELIGION, GENDER OR ECONOMIC STATUS. PRESIDENT OBAMA INHERITED A HOST OF PROBLEMS THAT NO PRESIDENT WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX IMMEDIATELY....ESPECIALLY IF THE AREA OF GOVERNMENT HE NEEDS TO HELP HIM IS HELL BENT ON JUST GETTING HIM OUT OF OFFICE BECAUSE HE'S A BLACK MAN. YES, HE'S A BLACK MAN AND YES THERE IS ONLY ONE AGENDA OF THE FOLKS THAT BELIEVE ONLY A WHITE MAN SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY....NO MAN OF COLOR OR WOMAN SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RUN OUR COUNTRY....THIS IS THE SILENT AGENDA THAT MOST OF CONGRESS AND SENATE HAVE....THE GRAND OLD PARTY OF OLD WHITE MEN AND THE FEW UNCLE TOMS WANT THIS BLACK MAN OUT AT ANY COST, EVEN IF AMERICANS SUFFER THEY DON'T CARE....THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT.

I AM A WORRIED AMERICAN FOR A BILLION REASONS -- ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHILDREN OF OUR FUTURE. WHAT ARE WE TEACHING THEM, WHAT ARE WE GIVING THEM FOR THEIR FUTURES?

I'VE WORN OUT MY WELCOME HERE BUT THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE ON MY MIND AS I OBSERVE OUR GOVERNMENT'S INACTION, KNOW THE REASONS WHY AND STAY "A WORRIEDAMERICAN."

well ann this house is to big for u see this is hard work and i want a president who dont mine the hard work and will work for all people not just half.and dont need his wife to cry its hard work leave him alone its hard. so ann get on your dancing horse and dance your way to the sun set,by.

STOP IT, STOP IT, Ann Romny, you stop it. You are also out of touch with the American People. This is the Process, this is how it works. Get real! We don't want his kind of luck.

AF AND VJ

Ann, you've had your "15 minutes of fame", dear heart. Hard... of course its hard, even harder when you (meaning, your husband) can't find a place to stand for, then stand there. Trying to be a moving target and staying a step ahead of the "fact checkers" is tough. It's hard when you have to remember what you said, when, where, and to whom you said it. In your husband's case, its not that the lying is hard, he's congenital, in that regard, its the keeping track of the lies that's the problem. Ann, Mitt reminds me of Nixon, just not as smart, nor as politically astute; but a practiced liar, nevertheless. It is beginning to feel as if he'd rather lie, than tell the truth- even when the truth will do. "STOP IT", you say, as if you're the dame to the manor (White House) born, while your husband derides 47% of the country as, somehow, laying claim to "entitlement." We're "entitled"? The poor, the working poor, vets, the true middle-class, those who make anything near $250.000 a year. Get a grip, Ann. What you're facing for the first time, Ann-is what if feels like when, for the first time, the American people have had to take a close and careful look at your husband, you, those like the two of you, and what the those like you represent. And what they're seeing just isn't going down well. Did you really think it would, Ann-once people began to see the "man behind the curtain"? He's not a bad man, Ann. He's your man and I understand that. And you should stand behind and support him, no matter what. That's what life partners do, and I commend you for that. Your husbands problems is that he'll be the quintessential "empty suit" in the White House, and people or finding that out. Nobody, I've heard, has said it better than Grover Norquist, and I'm paraphrasing here: "ALL WE NEED IS SOMEBODY IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH ENOUGH WORKING DIGITS TO SIGN WHAT WE GIVE HIM" Ann, your husband is the "neo-cons" dream, he's the political "hack" that Norquist and the Tea Party types have been dreaming of for the past two decades. The problem is that your dear Mitt just doesn't seem to have what it takes to "make the sale", because he has nothing of substance to sell.

ann romney vs. "you people".

perhaps ann and mitt's filthy supporters should be reminded that in this country it's "we the people"!

Stop whining, Annie. If it's "hard", why do it? Since you're used to the soft life, just quit--sure would make me HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! So, when you leaving?

If Ann thinks running for president is hard, being president is harder. A president always has people like Mitt taking shots. Mitt is weak and his behavior the past year is clear proof of that,

You know when you speak evil of someone there should be no skeletons hiding in your dark places. God's word says what goes around will surely come around. It is not hard just for you but those who are actually doing the task. You know it would be amazing to have one clean campaign with no dirt throwing. Many remember your first attempt at the presidency and comments made then. Pray for your change and the heart of other will change, God is kind, He love all of His creation, and ask for us to do the same. Prayers for the Nation are going out, Join in. God has a plan and His will is going to be done to carry out his purpose for this nation.

O.K. "you people" just knock it off.....or WHAT? Is this the apron Mitty will be hiding behind when that 3am phone call comes?

FIRE SE.....send this dolt to FOX where she can be with her fellow Luntz talking points machine. Saying ANYONE should apologize for calling out a KNOWN LIAR for not willing to reveal his tax returns, shows how dense, how brainwashed, this dolt is. I am sickened that intelligent and talented young people are stuck with this dolt who is ruining this show. Sorry, tuning out.

Stop it , stop it. It's our turn to be President. Another 'Let them eat cake' moment for Ann Romney, congrats.

Actually Ann Romney I have a message for you. WE ARE IN THE RING!!! We The People are listening and paying attention. We are working hard in the ring to assure that a President be elected that will work for ALL 100% of the people and not one that will pick and choose who to serve. Someone that will see Value in everyone of its citizens and not just in segregated segments. Most of us understand that we don't even mind working with the 1% as long as they are willing to give back in return. Nobody does anything for free; not even workers. Corporate responsibility is to take those profits its" workers built" for the company and pay back into their workers so they don't have to rely on Government Programs to exist, like Wal- Mart workers do. Any Idiot can see that in this so called Bad economy the only ones suffering are the workers who "Built" those companies with their sweat and got shafted in the end. We can see that all the years of labor have now been turned into to freeloading propaganda. Many of those who have for the FIRST time in their lives have to rely on Government Programs they paid into with their working taxes to sustain a meager existence are doing so; NOT because we are lazy and moochers but because the Companies we (the workers) helped build, decided one day that paying back to the workers just wasn't good enough for bottom line profits. Many of "Those" people were (and still are) hard working people that put their life's blood, sweat, energy and even loyalty into businesses believing that they were of value to the companies they worked for; only to find out in the end they were expendable. Whatever happened to a company having a core sense of Value for the employee that worked for the good of the company? When did employees become fodder for profits? When did employers come to the conclusion that those that worked for them had NO value? I come from a time where there were Employers that valued an employee that worked hard, gave loyalty and rewarded said employee. That is the Business Model I would love to see again not just here in this Country but worldwide. Instead of moving your Company overseas for the sole purpose of CHEAP labor you should have been holding to the lie that "you were bettering the world economy" making third world workers lives better by paying Workers in foreign countries American wages for American Products. Would most of us rather be working then living in the conditions we didn't create? Your dam right we would but not at the cost of losing a way of life we fought for. Personally I would love to see Corporations dismantled and Small Business get a comeback. Businesses that worked for our communities to support Everyone in the community. We don't need a new Government. We need a new Business policy and model that works for the workers and NOT just for Profits. You want to know what we want? We want our Jobs BACK, our stolen Pensions back and our dignity and pride of being able to support our OWN families back. You may not value us be we do. We know what we have fought for and we are NOT going quietly into Financial Slavery for a few people who think we have no value other then producing profits for a few while the rest go hungry and without shelter. We want Corporations to STOP trying to run OUR Country. We don't want a President that wants to run OUR country like Bain Capitol. America is NOT a Business or a Religion. America is a Country of People striving to develop and grow into a nation that knows how to treat ALL peoples on a fair playing level. Some of us may become rich and some of us may not, but that is okay as long as EVERYONE can have a chance to build the" level" of wealth that meets their desires. Not everyone wants an elevator for our cars. Heck some of us are just happy getting a weekend off to go fishing by a river. Some of still believe that MONEY isn't happiness but is only a service to provide a reasonable existence. So in conclusion Ann Romney let me just say to you that YES we are all in this Ring and we are all fighting to choose someone that will allow ALL Citizens of America the chance to accomplish our own brand of wealth and happiness and finally, Ann Romney I say Stop it. Stop trying to thrust your vision of what each American should want to exist. A Presidents job is to listen to ALL the people.

If you can't stand the heat, fire all the help in the kitchen!

Well, Ann, I've always found it's very exhausting to be vague, dishonest and evasive. Perhaps if you and Mittens followed a transparent policy of truth by giving out some real facts and details, you'll find life easier. Why don't you just lay off the snarky half truths and Politically Correct BS ? For a change of pace. Besides, I think you'll have plenty of time to rest come mid November.

romney was all part of the master plan to get our king re-elected.

should have gone with ron paul..............

You people - just leave Mittens alone!

Hot off the presses.

Worried --

I couldn't have said it better or more thoroughly than you just did.

I've had many of the same thoughts and worries and dis-enchantments. One thing I can't get away from - I believe Mitt and Ann want the presidency as a trophy, as some kind of mountain to climb and get to the top. Well, once you're there, then what?

Hopefully, after the election we all come to our senses and come together. Is it too much to hope for?
