Celebrities React To The Presidential Debate

President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney battled it out in a town hall format debate last night, and the stars were watching and eagerly weighing in on the evening via Twitter.

Among the hottest topics of the evening’s debate was Romney’s comment about seeking out female employees, where he referenced “binders full of women.”

Here’s what the stars had to say about the debate:

Ellen DeGeneres: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting the Golden Globes! I guess the Hollywood Foreign Press found a binder.

will.i.am: This debate is wasting everyones time…we are knee deep in s**t and no plan has been presented by romney
