I definitely agree that just about everyone in Washington is out of touch with "real" Americans - men and women. I do think it was just foot-in-mouth syndrome, though, and it's been completely blown out of proportion. I got the point that she was trying to make and took no offense to it as a SAHM.
I DO think Ann Romney can't relate to the day-to-day struggles of my family. I also think I can't relate to many other families, too. Not because we're rich, but we do well and have for awhile and we're very thankful for that. I come from a middle class family and don't know what it's like to struggle to put dinner on the table. I've never had to choose to pay one bill over another. I feel for those families and empathize with them deep from my heart, but I no more understand their struggles than someone a bazillion dollars richer than myself.
