-- -- back to the women's story Democrat operative Hilary Rosen said that Mitt Romney's wife quoting again.
Net from his wife and now bold -- today in -- life.
Now ms.
Romney has fired back via Twitter saying I made -- choice to stay home and raise five boys and believe me it was hard work.
They on the issue I thought -- is that all -- all the the faculty -- she's here to talk about a different subject running a deal with this one for us.
Euro -- mother of two another one coming what do you say when someone says do you get -- a look -- -- alive staying home with the kids.
-- -- -- ever dared to say that they actually are but I I will say that you know certainly -- candidate I can't imagine all the work that will be involved raising five boys but I would say just entering into this debate is so stupid and mean.
-- -- to get into the mommy wars at this point in the campaign is just really -- not not wanted to -- I only the wealthy area of the country still.
But all the moms think we all work hard we some of us -- so let's stay at home.
-- around telling another mother I don't think they were carted off.
It's not just a finance it's not just a cultural story agenda story there is a financial angle here.
If you could put a financial value on the woman who studies -- -- looks after the children there is financial value that -- and it seemed to be ignored by ms.
Rosen.
Absolutely and Fiat and it even looking even if she does not have to make some of the hard choices that some you know lower middle class women have to make I don't think that makes the work that he does any less valuable or -- -- Not -- our excellent.
On colleges yeah so here.
Harvard Law School offering a class on understanding Obama.
The class is being told by the presence longtime mentor Charles Ogletree -- focus on Obama's views as a behind racial child.
His time at Harvard law and it basically sounds like I think it sounds like an Obama heckmann pep rally.
So so what exactly is going to be the nature of this course what would you know name.
Well I think you know they're gonna read some of Obama's writings are gonna look at his policies -- they're gonna you know say now -- -- now we really understand the present I'm sure there are a lot of Americans out there would love to be able understand.
What Obama's.
Think but is it valid is it valid for the president's own mental to teach a class.
Paul but more on this subject is that really I don't really think this is a class that that is that you you should be getting credit for but on the other hand there -- hundred classes out that you should be getting credit for college at this.
What I think is that college professors should be there to help you understand things that you couldn't understand on your own now -- dreams of my father.
It's fascinating reading but it is perfectly accessible to you me -- every American out there who was literate.
So why do you need a Harvard professor to explain this to you when you need is a -- investor explained you John Locke.
May be understating the constitution.
Understanding -- the great works of literature.
You know you it isn't it ends -- -- inside a political wild -- I don't need to be taking a class and understanding Ronald ray in either because.
Reagan wrote for -- for people like you wrote for an audience that is -- her and that is popular and.
And well okay they'll do do you think this whole book I do you know whether or not this class will be -- -- I ask my question for it must think.
And and it's it's current -- -- you get credit for it so I'm I'm guessing that you have to get a grateful supposing I -- upon to back class until the class and I turned around us and I think president Obama's very good -- president I don't think it's a very good role model is a biracial young man I think he's -- a great guy.
Would I get a decent great -- grade inflation might healthier but.
But having it all depends -- -- fair guy Charles Ogletree is I'm not willing to say but I do know obviously you're taking a class from a guy who was.
Obama's mentor I mean there's gonna be a certain bias to the class I think you're gonna be aware that going.
