President Barack Obama posed for a photo-op this morning in Virginia, where he is getting ready for tonight's presidential debate. He ventured out for a photo-op, and had this very brief exchange with a reporter:

Good points.
This is the “Candy Crowley gets to choose whatever questions she wants to ask” debate.< It will therefore be just as biased as they all are - perhaps she is intelligent enough to cleverly masquerade her bias, but biased it will be.
You're right on all of this Par. But if WE want to maintain our credibility we must stop participating in these scams.
You're also right that this is NOT a town hall debate - it IS a “Candy Crowley gets to choose whatever questions she wants to ask” debate. Shame on CNN for pushing this fraud, shame on the 'commission', and finally shame on us for going along with it.
Who else do they have to run in 2016? Were are the dynamic up-and-coming young Democrats? That’s why they were seriously talking about Biden and why Hill will be viable then, because they have jack-all in reserve.
Obama and Hillary are both involved in the coverup of events in Libya. They are like two rats holding hands on a turd in the sewer. They’re just floating along hoping the turd will eventually wash up against the side of the sewer. If they fight, they both might fall into the crap and drown. They’re two slicky-boy lawyers. Petraeus isn’t a lawyer.
Courage of a leader? Really? Why isn't she offering to resign? What are the consequences for taking responsibility? Why is it laudable if you pay no consequences? She is no heroine. She is responsible for the deaths of four Americans and should be fired if she doesn't resign.

Above his paygrade.... His handlers had to have told him a while back not to worry about these things.
I agree with, and appreciate the clarity of your entire comment. In particular the last line. Now...here is an additional question that has been bothering me.
If, as Biden and Obama want us to believe, they had no information from the State Dept. or Intelligence community about any need for extra security measures in Benghazi...and...if they had no hint of any possible plans for terrorist activity on the 11th anniversary of 9/11...then, why/how in the world did they learn and know about some little, insignificant trailer for a video that appeared on YouTube that no one had even heard of?
I mean...gee...did their Intelligence people tell them about that yet failed to tell them about needing more security, or terrorist activities?
They want us to think that they had communication about some film, but none about the serious threats!
The Obama Administration was immediately prepared to blame the video on YouTube, and had, obviously, heard about it from some source. I doubt Obama discovered it by himself by surfing the Internet one night and just happened to find it on YouTube .
It just seems all too convenient and irrational that this Administration knew about a film, but knew nothing about terrorist plans nor suspected that something could happen on 9/11/12. It is just too unbelievable that this Administration wants us to believe that the Intelligence community was all riled up enough about a film to mention it to Obama, but was not at all concerned about security requests from the embassy in Benghazi.
So, did Obama learn about the film from Intelligence...the State Dept...or who/where/why/how?
On one hand Obama and Biden want us to believe that the information (or lack of) received by them from their Intelligence people was deficient, and that our Intelligence Dept. was derelict in its duties. But, obviously, it was efficient enough for them to believe about some stupid, innocuous film. Just who knew what about that video on YouTube advertising the "Innocence of Muslims" film and when did they decide it would make a good scapegoat for Obama to use "just in case" something went awry in the Middle East?
I believe that there is a lot more here that has been in play concerning why/how this video ended up being Obama's "excuse."
Abu Graib = Nobody dies = Bush’s fault
Benghazi = 4 dead = ABO’s Fault (Anybody But Obama)
Benghazi-gate is the biggest presidential scandal since Fast and Furious.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sorry to have to keep pounding on this, but “-GATE” is Nixon’s deal. Please do not append “-GATE” to anything that Obama has done. “BENGHAZI” should stand alone. If anything, from this point forward, all DemonRat scandals shoud be appended with “-GHAZI”.
I’m starting to believe the theory that was posted on FR a couple of days ago - that the whole incident was supposed to be a kidnapping and later exchange for the blind sheik, making Obama a hero before the election. The 2 navy seals who happened to be there made it a real fight. Why else would everyone go to such lengths to cover it up? And why no retaliation yet? That is inexcusable. They could at least cut off any aid to Libya.
Fabulous! Hahahahah
Great post! I hope Romney’s advisers are reading this.
This whole “Hillary takes the responsibility” business: She may have taken the “responsibility” but she’s refusing all the attendant consequences. Her statement is empty unless she resigns.
What guy ever says “I feel fabulous”????
He is a twink!

Sorry about the delay. I actually had to work.
Actually, Romney needs to go with: “Apparently, the buck doesn’t even slow down at This President’s desk.”
