Nobody is more concerned with the safety and security of those folks than I am, said Obama about the Sept. 11 attack in Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Obama blasted Romney for suggesting that the administration misdirected the public after the attack by saying it was triggered spontaneously instead of being a planned terrorist act.
The suggestion that anybody in my team ... would play politics or mislead when weve lost four of our own, Governor, is offensive, said Obama, highlighting that he mentioned acts of terror in the Rose Garden the day after the deaths.
The quote proved to be a stumbling block for Romney, who questioned Obamas words and was eventually overruled by moderator Candy Crowley, who injected herself into the debate and backed up the president.
It took them a long time to say this was a terrorist act by a terrorist group, said a flustered Romney

To me Mitt saw the setup when Candy convieniently recalled words from a longer speech where O called it an attack in the first paragraph, and then used terror following some lead in remarks about 9-11
It did throw him off for a second but his line of long time saved the point for the next debate.
Also, time was running out as Candy didn’t give Romney the opportunity to answer Barry’s feigned offense.
Crowleys later walk back cements the followup at the foreign policy debate.
O may think he won the battle. Mitt will win the War
