when miss rosen talked about how ann romney has never worked a day in her life, then went on to double down and triple down on the comments. jehmu greene, and china okaski. who would have thought going into campaign 2012 the four us and other women out there would become the issue. both sides are making women the issue in this campaign. and today the latest salvo is from this hillary rosen. jehmu let me start with you. you are a democrat. you have been even handle when it comes to criticism of women by women whether it s from a republican or democrat. i m curious about what you think about miss rosen s comments. i want to start with what i learned from gloria steinem when
governor. by want to ask you about this comment. because this seems to be something that s really struck a chord with a lot of our viewers. pitting stay-at-home moms against working moms. other suggestion if you choose to stay at home and raise your children as you did, that you don t or cannot well understand the plight of working women. your thoughts on that. well, i think i can understand that. and i was lucky, my husband worked very, very hard, and i could afford to stay home. and i realize it s a luxury, and i know ann does, too, she is a good friend of mine. but she also knows it s very important that you give back, and she has and is giving back. i think she is a wonderful woman. i m not criticizing hillary what s her name. i m being corrected whatever her name is if hillary rosen
even worse this time around. their goal is to get single moms and single to vote for them and vote for the president in the same kind of numbers they did before and there you see this sort of class division, the haves versus the have-nots. megyn: what kind of risks are there to this white house in trying to draw that kind of a line, trying to pit moms against one another? trying to get the, stay-at-home moms who have money to get, to be targeted or disliked by the working moms who don t have as much money? i m already getting e-mails from a lot of military wives who are stay-at-home moms, saying, it s not a luxury. we do it because our husbands travel. we want to take care of our children. what are the risks in trying to draw lines now between moms? it s, it s a amplification of the central risk that the president s undertaking with his message to go after romney as a very rich person. and, talking about his tax
women in their choices. there is no question mitt romney is out there trying to make certain we can create jobs so all americans can have their dreams again. that will help all of us. under obama women have been losing their jobs. they have been set back 20 years. don t tell me mitt romney s message isn t for women. it s for all americans. i m of the twitter generation and irony should not be lost on people that ann romney took to twitter to send this message. twitter and facebook and all these social media components are created at home or in dormitories. what will unite us as women is merging those two world. it s not a crime to actually be at home and merge the world with the outside business world and social media and all these ways of working together at home.
i worked with her at the women s media sr. temperature home making has always been devalued the way all jobs that are predominantly female have. homemakers should never be referred to as not working. i think that s a lesson that clearly hillary rosen has gotten out of this situation. and for full disclosure i have worked for hillary rosen and i consider her a friend. i have been in her home and watched her work and nurture her children. but at the end of the day we cannot continue to devalue homemakers. i think that governor romney has an opportunity to lay out some kind of vision about women in the workplace through this conversation that we haven t seen details come out yet. but if he s going to put forth ann romney as his chief economic
