Exactly - it’s almost like it was pre-planned right?
That Obama knew, of course, Libya would come up - so they strategized this false narrative to throw Romney and everyone else off.
I think, in a way, Candy may have been duped.
I suspect they sent her an out of context quote from that speech and she probably accepted it at face value without reviewing the entire footage.
I am, first of all, appalled that anyone would set rules for a “town hall” in which the moderator gets to choose the questions.
There is absolutely no reason the “undecideds” couldn’t be numbered, and then numbers pulled randomly out of a bowl.
Instead, we get a question: “How are you different from President Bush?”
Besides being an absolutely stupid question, it is such a partisan question that if defies reason.
Moreover, that became Obama’s question, too. So, we have a question designed completely to put one side on the defensive, and then the other side gets to deal with it at the outset from the offensive. It is an unconscionable, extremely biased approach to a “neutral” debate.
At a minimum, Obama should have been asked “How are you different from Jimmy Carter’s presidency?”
Instead we have the referee forcing the Packers to kick off from the end zone, and then that same referee awards the ball to the Bengals first and goal from the one.
If any one question demonstrated extreme unfairness in the setting itself, it was that one.
I smell 'COLLUSION', as in 'PRE-PLANNED' and 'COORDINATED' collusion!!!!
Think about it...... - She 'picks' LIBYA question
- Obama already knows that Romney is going to bring the Bhengazi attack up, so he has (pre-Debate) PREPARED to DOUBLE-DOWN and answer emphatically that he called it an "act of terror" in the Rose Garden (when everyone knows he did not do so till 14 days later).
- Obama (and Crowley) HAVE TO ASSUME that Romney will be 'shocked' to hear that, and Romney will claim that Obama DID NOT SAY THAT!
- Crowley then (on cue) THROWS UP THE 'TRANSCRIPT' that OBAMA did say "terror" in the transcript, without even bothering to show the audience that she in fact READ IT right then and there!
