Romney's Equal Pay Answer: Two Solid Minutes of FAIL

[cemaphonic]

36. And the hilarious punchline is this: Romney is pandering (and lying) here.

Does anyone really think that Romney would lift a finger to require (or even create incentives) businesses to allow for flexible schedules? Or will create a regulatory environment where people can actually use this flexibility without being punished by their employers.

He's totally pandering to urban/suburban working women with completely empty promises but since it's Romney, we're talking about he can't even manage to do that without insulting them.

His answer also had a touch of that weird noblesse oblige that I've seen out of his campaign a few times, like that story about him paying college costs for some deserving youth. Apparently, all these sorts of broad social problems like poverty, workplace inequality and education/healthcare costs can be solved by Mitt Romney taking a personal interest in your life story.
