(Reuters) - President Barack Obama hit rival Mitt Romney hard on women's issues as he headed back on the campaign trail on Wednesday after a spirited debate performance that re-energized his bid for a second term.
A day after a much-improved performance in the second of three presidential debates, a revitalized Obama continued sparring with his Republican opponent, making fun of Romney's comment that he had received "binders full of women" to consider for cabinet positions when he was governor of Massachusetts.
"I've got to tell you, we don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented driven young women ready to learn and teach in (science, technology and engineering) right now. And when young women graduate, they should get equal pay for equal work," Obama, relaxed and smiling in shirt sleeves and a loosened tie, told 2,000 people at Cornell College in Iowa.
With 20 days to go until the election, Obama campaigned in Iowa and Ohio while Romney was in Virginia - all important "swing states" that can go to either candidate on November 6.

Romney hired more women to senior leadership positions than any other governor in America. The freaking monster!!!
yawn
msm trying to make a controversy happen. nobody cares.
My God, ginning up the tired, worn-out, bogus and totally irrelevant “equal pay for equal work” argument three weeks before the election. That may win a few of the 20-something skulls full of mush, but most are intelligent enough to know “no jobs” means “no pay”...and that trumps all.
Obama is an absolute pathetic laughingstock.
..he’s got to perpetuate the lies.....
Reuters Mark Falsenthal gives Obama rave reviews for his maginficent appearance at 2nd Show Debate, but fails to praise CNN Moderator Candy Crowley supporting performance.
Do I detect undertones of panic and desperation? If that is all you got to spin, bud, I'd be worried too!
Don’t you actually have to be employed to get your fractional pay? Romney just needs to tell women they need a job first, before they start bitching about their pay.
This lazy sack of shyte hates to govern....this is why he has to cram for the debates. He does not know what his own Gov’t is up to. His preference is to be out golfing, presiding over a White House soul music soiree, or shooting hoops with boytoy Reggie. He knew next to nothing of the Bin Ladin raid
But he loves to talk smack on the campaign trail. He loves to get on Air Force One. Meet the crowds or go to HollyWood fundraisers and lay down his rap, lay down his lies and bullshit. Obama is a lot like JayZee...Ignorant white people make these rap stars multimillionaires and ignorant white people put Obama into the White House
Obama is like an aggressive computer salesman. He loves to make the sale. But he does not have the slightest idea how the computer operates nor does he want to know
Romney: "Mr President, while we are on the subject of women in the workplace, would you care to explain to the American public--especially the women, you and your party keep claiming to champion--why it is that you pay women in the White House an average of 18%--$60,000 as opposed to $71,000--less the men?"
Game, set, match!
Either Mittens was not aware of this little factoid or didn't think of it.
Too bad as it would have been devastating!
Pummeling himself with a furious volley of body shots, 0bama finishes the flurry with a vicious straight right hand to his face, followed by a left hook to the side of his head that leaves him unconscious and heading for the hospital!0 couldn't box his way out of a paper bag. The race is now Romney's to lose, and instead I expect a devastating debate performance on Monday, followed by a landslide R & R win in November.
R & R '12!!!
vote for me!
The 'newsworthy' one is the one which pushes the chances of a democrat. Yep, no bias there... Eff the MSM...
("swinging"? -- sounds a little "wacist"!)
If Fox News had used a headline like “Obama comes out swinging”, the left would be foaming at the mouth over the OBVIOUS references to lynching and homosexuality.
LOL! Very good!
