ROMNEY: The — the greatest failure we’ve had with regards to — to gun violence in some respects is what — what is known as Fast and Furious. Which was a program under this administration, and how it worked exactly I think we don’t know precisely, where thousands of automatic, and AK-47 type weapons were — were given to people that ultimately gave them to — to drug lords.They used those weapons against — against their own citizens and killed Americans with them. And this was a — this was a program of the government. For what purpose it was put in place, I can’t imagine. But it’s one of the great tragedies related to violence in our society which has occurred during this administration. Which I think the American people would like to understand fully, it’s been investigated to a degree, but — but the administration has carried out executive privilege to prevent all of the information from coming out.
I’d like to understand who it was that did this, what the idea was behind it, why it led to the violence, thousands of guns going to Mexican drug lords. OBAMA: Candy?
CROWLEY: Governor, Governor, if I could, the question was about these assault weapons that once were once banned and are no longer banned.
The captured video frame says volumes: Romney is disgusted that he has just been double-teamed -- and Øbozo is grining like an obiden eating green persimmons -- because his trained lapdog has just saved his sorry @$$...
IMHO, Øbozo's is a pretty obscene expression, considering the subject is the murder of hundreds -- including a U.S. LEO... :-(
Don’t let her read her poetry!
Perfect!!! ;-)
So, in essence...(preaching to the choir, I know)....O’bama laughs because Mexicans died?
Who’s got access to a Spanish speaking forum of some sort?
Every time Obama brings up “47%” - Romney should bring up the “AK-47s from Fast and Furious.”
A small point to go along with Crowley ambush. Obama must have been getting signals from someone in the audience when Romney’s time limit was over or close to the limit to interrupt him. I doubt Obama had a stop watch in his head.
I read it as a grin of relief -- because he knows he is literally getting away with murder -- and with satisfied glee because his b---h barked when he yanked her leash...
There was a big countdown timer there. You could occasionally see it during the debate.
I mean, how did it happen that Crowley just happened to have a hard copy of the transcript of Obama's speech in her hot little hand -- at the very moment Obama demanded, "check the transcript"?
And how did Crowley plough through thousands of words in the transcript to find the word "terror" in there, within about one second?
Is there any innocent explanation for this?
Others on FR have noted this. Yet I haven't seen any discussion of it elsewhere, even in the conservative media.
Romney should have said:
“Candy, I heard the question and I’m going to answer HIS question.”
You can’t distribute thousands of semi-auto and full-auto weapons to drug lords, with no plans or provisions to track them, and then claim that distribution was part of a sting or tracking operation.”
“The Bush administration executed a sting operation, but had the foresight to place tracking mechanisms in the weapons, AND they notified Mexican authorities that they were doing so.”
“President Bush cancelled his operation after determining the tracking mechanisms were being removed.”
“This Administration did neither, and NOW, he’s going to tell you how hard he’s been working to control assault weapons!”
IMHO, those numbers should be displayed continually at the top of the TV screen (plus running totals per candidate) so everyone can see how the time is really being allocated.
Bttt.
Well that explains it. Thanks.
“Say it louder, Candy!” “ ...wah, wah, wahh! Help me Candy! Wah! wahh! wahh! Get the bad, bad man!”
And at that point, Obama blathered on and on about EDUCATION.....and Can-do weakly tried to cut him off, which he refused to do.
Candy never asked Obama to answer the person’s question when bloviated for 2+ minutes. There were at least 3 questions he didn’t answer:
Libya
Voted for you in 2008, why should I give you my vote in 2012?
Why were the security requests denied and who denied them?
The likeness is striking! Good post.
Zero’s way of dealing with AK-47s is to send them to Mexican drug cartels and then blame Americans when the weapons are used to kill Mexican teenagers and our Border Patrol Agents.
