Voting fraud that Obama supporters like to say 'does not exist'. How can there be voting without ID? It's as basic as travelling with a passport or driving with a license. See more voter fraud videos at the same account. P5p70YbRiPw
Advanced Excuses.. :cantstop: even when Obama is not exactly favorite to win the election.

The 'Binder' Everyone Is Talking About http://news.yahoo.com/internet-takes-off-mitt-romneys-binders-full-women-032225380--abc-news-politics.html http://bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com/ Presidential Debate: Mitt Romney's 'Binders Full of Women'ABC News Videos 0:00 | 0 viewsGOP candidate's comment came in response to a question about pay equality for women. Despite all the fireworks over taxes, oil and Libya, the most buzz-worthy social media moment of Tuesday night's presidential debate was Republican nominee Mitt Romney's comment about "binders full of women." The inadvertently funny comment came in response to a question about pay equity for women from a member of the audience of the debate between Romney and President Obama at Hofstra University. Romney was explaining that as the governor of Massachusetts searching for qualified women to fill cabinet posts, women's groups brought him "binders full of women" who were good candidates. "And I said, 'Well, gosh, can't we - can't we find some - some women that are also qualified?" Romney said. "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women." The response was swift. "'They brought me whole binders full of women' Did I just hear that? # debate ," tweeted @MichaelAusiello." "'They brought us binders full of women,' doesn't sound good in any setting," added the New York Times' Nick Bilton. It wasn't long before the internet took the comment and ran with it. A new "Tumblr" account popped up with images inspired by the comment, including one from the now-famous "Texts from Hillary" meme. "Romney still uses binders? LOL," read the caption attached to a photo of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. A freshly minted Twitter account " @RomneysBinder" tweeted out: "Boy, I'm full of women! #debates" and by the end of the debate had more than 30,000 followers. A second @Romneys_Binder handle netted more than 12,000 followers by the end of the debate. A fake "Binders Full of Women" Facebook account launched shortly after, along with several others. And the BindersFullofWomen.com domain name was purchased just minutes after the comments came from Romney's mouth. Though it didn't top the 10 million tweets that watchers put out during the first presidential debate, more than 7.2 million tweets poured out from watchers of this second town hall style event. A few other moments of this more lively debate caused a stir. When Romney repeated questioner Lorraine Osorio's name several times before getting it right, more than 109,000 tweets per minute commented on the moment. When the candidates first argued directly with each other on Obama's policy on oil drilling, Twitter comments peaked at 97,000 tweets per minute. And more than 98,000 comments were tweeted out when Obama jabbed Romney on the size of his pensions. "I don't look at my pension, its not as big as yours," Obama said. And the same number of tweets - 98,000 - came in response to Obama's answer to a question about how his administration responded to the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

One thing I liked about Obama in this debate was that he looked cool at all times but when they talked about security (and the American Ambassador being killed) he made his point very firmly and with authority. As for Romeny, it seemed that he had only one answer for most of the questions - "I know what it takes to do this". He was repeating the same statistics again and again and again and looked quite irritated at times.
