Yes, and I'm sure I've seen Obama memes too, as well as jokes about that particular gaffe. Honestly that's what makes this whole round of pearl clutching so amusing. It's not as if y'all have never made jokes at the President's expense.

If this round of viral sarcasm bothers people that much, they are free to trend any joke they like. If Beiber fans can do it, so can you. That ask a bunch if tween girls to show you how. Learn the secret ways of tumblr. LOL.

Seriously, the democratic party cannot make something trend on twitter that fast and no one can make anything go viral for this long. These types of things happen organically. For whatever reason people find this particularly funny. It will play itself out in a few days just like eastwooding did.

Or in Romney's case closing businesses and shipping jobs to China.

IMO, the most demeaning comment was Romney's implication that all working women need to hurry home so that they can cook and clean for their husbands. That may be how it works in Mormonland or on Planet Kolob but not in the 21st century real world.

Sorry but only "older" and out of touch/tech challenged people use binders. Its the 1950s business man mentality that is so laughable. His phrasing betrays him and his archaic ways. "Binders full of women" like its 1950.

It's quite hilarious to see lockstep liberals like you whine about Mitt Romney purportedly "demeaning women" by wanting flexible work schedules for them.

Meanwhile, you defend to the death Bill Clinton, who was and most likely still is a serial sexual abuser of women.

You people really are sick.

Bubba and women is an epic story... But comparing Bubba's equation with women to Romney's is like chalk and cheese ...

He didn't create the binders. An organization focused on increasing women's participation in government created and and sent to the Romney administration, binders like this one; http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townn...review-300.jpg. Perhaps that organization is the one you should be calling archaic, eh?

Mr. Romney was pointing to the specific example of a high ranking official in his administration, and how they worked to create a flexible schedule that worked for her and her employer. For years, organizations promoting women's equality and fair pay have said that greater flexibility is needed the workplace, especially for working mothers, as that flexibility encourages women to take on greater responsibilities and reach higher managerial positions. Lists are created and published that showcase the top companies for women to work. One of the chief attributes always highlighted on these lists in workplace schedule flexibility. How is it now a bad thing that Governor Romney's administration built in that flexibility, and that he showcased it in the debate?

What you've described is "demeaning to women" according to Sco.

The fact that he even lied about it is now getting out there and will hurt him even more. Verbally assaulting the moderator did not help him either for that matter.

"The BIG meme from the debate"


ROTFLMAO!

Seriously, can Obamabots get any more desperate?
