Hilary Rosen is right

Ann Romney hasn't worked a day in her life, at least insofar as she needed a job outside the home to keep a two income family in the Middle Class and Out of Receivership.
Now that having been said, Mrs. Romney is a very nice person and I'm sure her kids were profoundly grateful she stayed at home especially with Mitt out of the House Doing Big and Important Things.
But all that only points out the nigh complete Detachment of Brand Romney from the diresome economic milieu the rest of us are slogging.
We don't have the option of a lavish lifestyle on a single income, let alone a subsistence lifestyle.
Hell, most of the "starter families" in Humble Elias' famously middle class community are struggling along with two incomes and a mere two kids.
Families are major money pits lets face it....and a personal fortune of 250 million dollars pretty much bridges that pit nicely.
That having been said the current "Rosen Affair" is a serviceable example of the sort of political jujitsu, Mitt Romney is good at...ergo twisting a quote out of context to allow him to rush onto the field waving the flag like a teachable and babbling a heartfelt defense of certain comforting cliches.
He can sometimes usurp the whole debate with this technique, he used it to solid advantage in 2002, pay heed mah frenz, pay heed.
