“A new poll found that only 47 percent of voters find Mitt Romney to be trustworthy. Then Romney was like, ‘Well, I hope it’s not the same 47 percent I don’t care about.’” – Jimmy Fallon “This week President Obama’s Facebook page received more than a million ‘Likes’ in a single day. All of them […]

“Apparently after last week’s debate, polls show Obama trailing Romney by one point. One point — or as it’s also known, ‘the thing Obama failed to make during last week’s debate.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Democrats are accusing Mitt Romney of cheating during the debate.
