Obama Mocks Romney in Iowa Over 'Binders'

Source: ABC News

President Obama, Mitt Romney, and their surrogates were back on the road today, fanning out across battleground states as the campaigns hustled to magnify and manage perceptions about Tuesday night's bruising debate in New York.

Obama, who delivered to his base the kind of energetic and aggressive performance they had been clamoring for since Romney had the run of the candidates' first meeting, flew into Iowa for an afternoon rally before heading for the Buckeye state to speak with supporters at Ohio University in Athens. It was the president's 31st trip to Ohio since he took office.

On his first stop, just outside Cedar Rapids, Obama seized on Romney's now meme-ified claim that, in his quest to find female cabinet members in Massachusetts, he picked from "binders full of women" provided to him by outside organizations.

"I've got to tell you, we don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women," Obama said.

Do you think he's even knows what it's like to do hard labor? Do you think he has ever bucked bails? Worked on the line? Pulled an engine? Fed a dying woman? Tried to save a life by putting his own in danger? Cleaned up the vomit of a drug addict going CT? Built a house? Made a bed? I think not.

Hard work for him would be jogging a half mile on a tread mill.

What would he know about the plight of families without jobs or women in the workplace?

A binder my ass.

Mantra should be:

This is a guy you just can't trust.

Not with your money.
Not with your mothers, wives and daughters.
Not with your job.
Not with your health.
Not with your country.
Not with your military.
