she has never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the wittman in this countryare facing in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, why we worry about their future. >> ann romney responded with her first ever tweet. "i made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. believe me, it was hard work." the network news shows led with them, the manager of the obama campaign said that rose and's comments were wrong and she should apologize, which she did eventually . even the president weighed in, saying there is no tougher job than being a mom. hilary rosen has no official position in the white house or the obama campaign. why did this cause such a commotion, mark? >> it terrified democrats for the following reason -- the questio -- cushion democrats have is with women voters. and one of romney's achilles heels is his inability to generate enthusiasm with family values of voters. this gives romney a wedge to make any romney it the embodiment of the state at home mother, and it smacks, fairly or unfairly, dismissesne -- of dismissiveness towards

very interesting letter from johnson to, i believe, walter wittman or one of the very famous journalists of the day, may have been drew pierson talking about his differences with fullbright and the senate foreign relations committee. what johnson explains in his letter is that he believed, unlike many of his critics in the senate, that the american interest ran equally strong towards asia, as it did towards europe. the reason he was the vietnam war, it was that interest and commitment demonstrated by two presidents that opened china. there is no way in the world china facing 45 rocket divisions deployed in manchuria will take a chance on relations with a nation that does not value asia. and, so persisting. >> and keep its commitments. >> lyndon johnson refused to do as he said at johns hopkins, he would never withdraw with the cloak of a meaningless agreement and as difficult as those times were, he did bequeev a chance for the united states to achieve larger ami aims in that conflicd one of them was persuading asia and asian governments that the united states truly cared about that regi

caller: i am with hillary because she is speaking for us wittman that actually have husbands at home and had to go out and work also because we are the 99% of people have to go to work and leave our children with a babysitter and can't afford day care so we had to have a relative take care of our children. i am with hillary and i appreciate and thank her very much, thank you. host: more on hillary. guest: i don't know what to say. it is true that most women work because they have to, not because they wanted. to. i still think women who stay home if they have five kids especially, deserve respect. host: the headline in this morning's "usa today" -- we are 40 years past the feminist revolution in this country. why are these issues still being discussed? guest: because they have not been settled by any means. your question implies that that is still an issue that inflames people. women who stay at home get terribly resentful and it is hard in washington. people go to dinner parties and women and even men who don't have some high-powered job are made to feel that. host: next is oregon, i
