Mitt Romney and Women
Last night, Obama said in the debate that when Mitt Romney was asked about the Lilly Ledbetter act, he supposedly said “I’ll get back to you.”

Seriously.
So here we’ll have Mitt Romney — the millionaire outsourcer guy who claims to believe wealthy Americans are already doing just fine — saying it’s appropriate to hold the middle-class’s tax cuts hostage until the yacht-owning set that finances his campaign gets its tax cuts too.
