Ann Romney's 'You People' Remark Makes Americans Angry as Hell (VIDEO)

Posted by Maressa Brown on July 19, 2012 

Today's poll numbers may show presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney and President Obama in a dead heat, but an unnerving new remark from Camp Romney -- courtesy of none other than Ann Romney -- could tip the scale in the POTUS's favor. Sitting down to chat with ABC's Robin Roberts on Good Morning America in an interview airing today, Mrs. Romney addressed concerns surrounding the tax returns her husband has refused to release. Although President Obama released his for the past seven years, while the Bushes offered up ten to twelve years' worth, the Romneys contend that two years is adequate. 

Ann defended the move, curtly noting, "We've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how -- you know, how we live our life." Wow, condescending much, Mrs. Romney?

These few poorly chosen words strung together equal one HUGE red flag. A major indicator of how out of touch the Romneys are and how they see us, the American people. Sure she could have been referring specifically to the media since she was speaking directly to a newswoman, but what is the media other than a messenger of information for us the American people? Ultimately, it's the VOTERS who want to see these tax returns.

And judging from Ann Romney's remark, it sounds like the Romneys' attitude is basically, "We're above this demand. We don't want to share anymore about how insanely rich we are. Now back off, you little pee-on trolls!" What's truly terrifying: If Mitt's acting like he should be exempt from taking action the public is asking for, how can we expect him to have our best interests at heart as President? I shudder at the thought.

Romney had explained (very poorly) that the real reason she and Mitt aren't releasing more tax returns has to do with guarding themselves against "more attack." Her exact quote:

There are so many things that will be open again for more attack. And you just want to give more material for more attack. And that’s really -- that’s just the answer.

So ... wait -- let's get this straight -- their unreleased tax returns are entirely honorable, yet releasing them to the public will set them up for further attacks? Oookay. So not only are the Romneys condescending, they're uber-defensive! Grrreat. Because those are precisely the qualities we want in our President and his family.

Here's the clip of Ann's interview if you missed it.

But, you think the Obamas are? This is where everyone who 'feels Romney is out of touch' lose all creditability. If you really think that about Romney and not repeating what some left wing handler told you to think, you would be saying the same about Obama. While I am a fan of neither, I feel that Obama and his nice little family looks down on the American middle class. There is NOT one person in Congress or in the White House that can honestly relate.

I had to take my 8 year old to the doctor today. The trip, with gas, co-pay and a hot wheel, cost me $30.00. There is not one of those in DC that would even give the money I spent a second thought. But, because that trip was not expected, I had to transfer money from one account to another. Now, when Obama can relate to that, then, I will agree with you. Until then, keep repeating what you are told.

Quoting Sisteract:

 IMO, the Romney are out of touch with the reality of most Americans' lives.

I do not believe Romney is what is best for all Americans. The elite 0.4%, sure, but not all Americans.

ARs reality is buying an orange T-shirt depicting a goldfish for $900- a one and done shirt. This is not the reality of most Americans.

What she says has no bearing, IMO- What she does is unique-
