Yeah and I bet it was “instinct” for her to have that info on her to begin with..I tell ya that Candy Crowley is a psychic isn’t she..to already have that info sitting right there when she had NO idea what Obama would say about it, its like she already knew what Obama would say, like she rehearsed it with him, nah can’t be..she’s just so darn impartial/sarc

CURL: Crowley skews hard for Obama in disastrous debate "..............By then, Mr. Romney had had enough, and talked over her demands. “No, let — let — let me go back and speak to the points the president made and — and — and let’s get them correct.”

At the next question, the moderator lost all control. “Candy,” Mr. Obama said. “Hold on.” “Mr. President,” the governor said, “I’m still speaking.” They mixed it up for a bit, then Ms. Crowley said: “Sit down, Mr. Romney.”

The most shocking exchange took place on the Benghazi attack that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others dead.

Mr. Romney: “You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror? It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you’re saying.”

Mr. Obama made no defense. “Please proceed, governor.”

“I want to make sure,” Mr. Romney said. “Get the transcript,” the president said. Then Ms. Crowley jumped in to do her own fact-check, on the spot. “It — it — it — he did in fact, sir. … He did call it an act of terror.”

The truth is, he didn’t. The day after the attack, he said only this: “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.” It took another two weeks before the White House would label the attack an act of terror........"

It wouldn’t have mattered to a good moderator. A good moderator would have said “Mr. President. Would you like another 5 seconds to answer the question? The questioner wants to know who rejected the requested extra security.”

And since there was not a good moderator there, Romney Should have said it. I hope someone on his team sees this and gives him the line in the final debate on foreign policy.

I wouldn’t doubt Obama and Crowley got together beforehand and Candy assured Fearless Leader she’d throw him a lifeline if he appeared to be floundering. Probably didn’t happen, but it sure seemed something like that was pre-arranged. Crowley lived up (or down) to the worst expectations of conservatives. She just couldn’t help herself.
