President Obama referenced Mitt Romney's statement about having "binders full of women" who have the skills and assets in today's economy to qualify for jobs. Obama responded to this comment in a rally today in Iowa saying "I've gotta tell you, we don’t have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented, terrific young women ready to work and teach in these fields right now!” The crowd cheered and applauded as if agreeing with this statement.
Many have said Obama's performance last night was strong , however it was if he delivered these strengths a day late compared to his first debate performance. Obama also pointed out during the rally that Mitt Romney's so called 5-point plan is really a "one-point plan" because he pointed out that he has given the American people no specifics as to how this plan will work and what actions will be put into place to achieve this goal.
The author of this article seems to be in favor of Romney because the title itself reveals that his/her perception of Obama's statement was 'mockery' which is denoted as a negative thing. He then presumes to conclude statements about how "Obama still played down his own performance, telling the crowd that he’s “still trying to figure out how to get the hang of this thing, debating it.” This is an obvious indication that the author favors Mitt Romney. And to conclude the article the author finishes off stating ""President Obama has no new ideas, no vision for the future, and is simply giving up. The choice in this election couldn't be clearer. Mitt Romney has bold new ideas that will cut taxes for middle-class families, create 12 million new jobs with higher take-home pay, and cut spending to put our nation on a course toward a balanced budget,” spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement. The author felt obligated to add this in simply because he/she agrees with this particular spokesperson.
