Ann Romney – wife of GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney – on Fox & Friends this morning, where she hit back at former President Bill Clinton, who recently said Mitt Romney’s Dad would be “turning over in his grave” because he opposed the bailouts of the auto companies.
Ann Romney said, “Oh no. Mitt’s father would be cheering – would be with Mitt 100%. . . So no, Mitt’s father would be cheering, cheering with Mitt.”
Ann Romney is a great asset to Mitt Romney’s Campaign – maybe his best asset! They need to keep her in front of the cameras as much as possible.
Mitt Romney, like the other presidential candidates, opposed the bailout, even penning a 2008 op-ed titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” Romney has explained that letting the auto companies go bankrupt wouldn’t mean liquidating them, “but allowing them to go to the bankruptcy court to reorganize and come out stronger. That’s what happened.”
Romney says he would have given banks federal loan guarantees so they could loan Detroit the necessary money, instead of having the government offer the loan directly. But the financial crisis created an environment in 2008 in which banks were reticent to give huge loans to the auto companies, and the White House insists the private capital wasn’t there to save the companies.

Please take a minute and watch this short video by Neil Cavuto about Ann Romney.
Wild Thing’s comment……….
I like her a lot, she speaks well, is pretty, smart, and has a lot of class. I also agree with what Mitt has said about the auto bailout. It is one thing to help out a company and another to just hand them a ton of money ( our tax dollars) and take the chance of them not making big changes that got them into trouble in the first place.
I lilke Neil Cavuto. It was good to see Neil Cavuto speak about Ann Romney. They are both inspiring examples of ongoing courage through their chronic health issues.
Great tribute by Neil. That is interesting to find out Cavuto and Ann Romney both have MS. It is a terrible disease and both of these people are heroically working around it.
Tom, I think so too. Neil has seldom mentioned it and so for him to do this was very special.
Wild Thing,
Its been awhile since I’ve been around but I hae had many a lifes challenging experiences with my own health and my sister with I live who has had mega cancer attacks and operations. We’re stilll around and thanking God for everyday which has been a bonus.
I just saw this vid at Cavuto which came to me as I was doing a related search and I’ve never ‘heard’ Ann but always like the way she carried herself. WOW. What a woman. I’m so glad Neil did the story. I was looking for the FOX comment she made which you carried above this and loved the way kshe slapped those liars. What a woman.
And then as I scrolled saw you had the Cavuto vid too. Excellent. I think more people in the ‘not Romney ‘ camp ought to see that!
The LORD’s Blessings upon you and your work as we head into this Elections Cycle from Hell. I do hope God will give us the victory. Everyday, diligently and without ceasing I’m praying for this country as I have done over these last 12 years.
OOH RAH! Lets get the country back under God’s management soon!
