Bring 'em to me in binders

[wnyerlaughs]

One has no basis in reality (Obama's birth cert was vetted by numerous agencies). Romney's "binder comment" shows how out of touch he is. He need people to bring him binders of capable women, because, somehow, he did not know any.

LOL..unlike the deeply entrncehed nepotosim and freinds-and-family political job handouts in WNY, had you bothered to consider that Romney had been looking at the people who actually APPLIED for the job, and his preference, as a hiring manager, was to have more female candidates for jobs in his adminsitration?

So, the guy is CEO of the olympics, and also a previosly successful business running one of the most highly respected companies (Bain) in Massachussets, and yet, from there in north Buffalo, someone, you have some insight to suggest that he ddidn't know any women.

LOL,,so the guy reaches out to local women's groups. LEt me get this straight now: were those women's groups then SO offended by Romney's outreach ..that he WANTED to hire women in his admin..were they SO offended that they (the WOMEN's GROUPS), decided to put the resumes of women into a binder?..or did mr romney gather all htese resumes...and say "someone..get me a BINDER..so we can insult all these women who might want to work in my administration?"

LOLOL...aside from that, can you tell us what Obama plans to do to reduce the 16 trillion debt by, oh,.just 2 trillion?

So, please also tell us: if Gov Romney wsa not obligated to hire ANY women at all, how offended would YOU be if some local organization wanted to hire women, and had a bunch of resumes collected in a folder...OOPS..."BINDER"...and they called you. Would you say "hey..is my resume in a binder there?...NO THANK YOU!..good bye"?

LOL...economy is faling apart,,,and you peeps are grasping at Big Bird and Binders.. LOLOL..how presidential!

[WNYresident]

Uh-huh. Keep going with this one..it has ALMOST as much traction as the Big Bird meme. and, to borrow from the comment os theAl Smith dinner event, "in the spirot of Seseame Street, this posting is brought to you by the Letter O, and the number 16 Trillion".

One comment that was true the Gov. Romney said:

Something on the order of .... The media will say "Obama had dinner with the Catholics" and "Romney had dinner with rich people" while they were at the event.

That would be great, if it were true. Fact of the matter is, he had no intention in doing so, until approached by the group who had signed his contender onto a pledge to increase female presence in leadership positions in Massachusetts. He had to sign onto it as well, in order to not be beat up by his contender about it.

He didn't "reach out" to the female candidates. His hands were politically tied, forcing him to do so.

Your being misleading... He did what he pledged to do. He kept his word.

“When Governor Romney came into office he undertook to fulfill his pledge. And while many of the top positions were filled by women who Gov. Romney found on his own through the transition process, through his business contacts, he also worked very cooperatively with the Massachusetts Women’s Caucus and reached out to them to make use of them and their resources,” the Romney official said. “We didn’t have to accept those names, we didn’t have to ask them for it to fulfill the pledge.”

Of course, they didn't have to. There wasn't a gun pointed at his head. However, it could have been catastrophic if he didn't.

And, he only worked with the caucus because of this group: MassGAP. Who went to Romney to sign onto the pledge after his contender already did. He didn't seek out any women, MassGAP came to him with a Hobson's choice.

And, to be fair, Romney did fulfill his pledge, and appointed 46% of his cabinet from those binders. Although, it did drop to 26% in his final year in office.

So the % of women in his admin declined to 26%. Now, please back that up with stats and data: Maybe some of the women moved ON to other better opportunities in private sector, or maybe retired on their own. Its doubtful that ROmney created a hostile work environment that forced them to want to leave. Maybe they didn't like govt work.

I don't believe there was a law that required that he maintain X % of women in his admin. HEck, turnover happens. People move in and out of the work force all the time. More often than not, its due to their owne personal freedom of choice that they are exercising.

OR..maybe good old Mitt fired some of the ladies, and then replaced them with male members of GLBT community?..or maybe he hired a whole bunch of hispanics.

And while there looks to be a significant gap in the percentages there...it all comes down to the absolute numbers..how many people in his admin, how many people left on their own, etc. After all,...Consider..if Romney was NOT running again, the people in his admin would have most likely been looking to move on and out to a new job BEFORE the next election. Its doubtful they were leaving as a result of Romney being a hater of any kind.

The guy was OBVIOUSLY a man of his word, and obviously still has women in high levels in his campaign as well..not as patronage but MAYBE because they are actually very highly qualified. maybe..just sayin".

You do not know "he had no intentions before he started" as a fact. Your implying.

I never said he created a hostile work environment. Merely laid out the fact, that while he did staff at 49% women in his staff in the first year, it had dropped down by his last year.

This is what you said.

Well, I learn from Rush Limbaugh...

[wnyerlaughs]

binders was yesterday's fish. we've moved on to bayonettes. All cute alliterative B words. YAY.

the false caricature that Team O painted about Romney, for all of the O minions to buy into and rail against, has fallen apart.

Team O created a Straw Man to run against because they KNEW that the real romney was an accomplished intelligent righteous guy, in essence aa Good man..a well educated executive with solid leadership credentials.

Even if you put the inexperienced '08 Obama side by side to the Romney of '12, its quite obvious who has better credentials to actually LEAD, as well a solve problems....especially domestically.

Team O created a Straw man, a fictional romney to run against. Oddly enough, Team Obama ALSO created a straw Man president in Obama in 'o8...makng him out to be some kind of messiah...when it was all just rhetoric..O had no substance to run on in '08.

The real problem for Team O is that the straw man (obama) they created in 08 was actuall ya REAL person..with human failings..and the media can't cover for it anymore. The '08 Obama Straw man has been reduced to the 1 term senator that he was. while the '12 straw man they created with a fictional romney..has fallen apart due to the strenght of the REAL romney finally being seen.

Pretty simple.
