It's funny how words get so twisted.  If you are in any type of spotlight and are under any kind of microscope from the media you should really choose your words carefully.  The most recently bad choice of words comes from Ann Romney, Mitt Romney's wife.  She is not only under the microscope of the media, but because of the upcoming Presidential Election, she is under the entire American populations' microscope.  You would think that after the whole You Tube debacle of Mitt Romney bashing 47% of Americans, they would try and save face with the remaining 53%.  Someone should really write any and all future speeches and interviews for these people.  Everything they seem to say is being scrutinized.
      She was asked about her major concern for her husband if he is elected for Presidency.  Her statement is as follows :"You know, I think my biggest concern, obviously, would just be for his mental well-being.  I have all the confidence in the world in his ability, in his decisiveness and his leadership skills, in his understanding of the economy, in his understanding of what's missing right now in the economy -- you know, pieces that are missing to get this jump-started.  So for me I think it would just be the emotional part of it."
      Whoa!  Did she just say what I think she said?  She may have meant it in the way that America is now taking it, or she could have just messed up just like her husband did when he made that speech at that "private" dinner.  However she meant it I think we can all agree that it seems like she has a mentally unstable husband who will not be able to handle such problems and tribulations which obviously come with the role of President of the United States.
      Do we need a President that will fall apart emotionally and not be able to keep himself pulled together?  Who will we rely on if we encounter another attack on our own land?  What will happen if things don't run smoothly for Mitt Romney?
      The answer is probably not but these are some questions that must be going through some people's minds after his wife's statements of his mental well being.  These are not the things an American should have to struggle with when deciding who to vote for this Novemeber.  If the Republicans want to win this thing they really should just SHUT UP and stop hurting themselves by their bad choice of words.  Its funny how their words are equally if not more damaging to their campaign than that of President Obama's and the Democratic Party.
