It is not about being "funny." It was about a grown man running for President of the United States being stupid enough to make such an idiotic statement, especially during televised debate watched by tens of millions of people. Romney was, and is, a clown, in more ways than one, despite his ability to manage corporations into bankruptcy intentionally to make himself rich. America does not need a businessperson to be President. We need a President who has some degree of common sense. Obama may not be the greatest choice, but considering the options available, a man who would use the term "binders full of women" does not rate on the common sense scale. At least choose someone who is halfway skillful in the use of language.
