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.
Do you remember the applause at this point?
The audience had been instructed not to applaud during the debate, but applause did happen here.
And guess who initiated it?
FLOTUS did it.
As if FLOTUS would really remember the exact wording of that speech ..... unless the whole lot of them had been discussing that wording directly prior to the debate.
FLOTUS played her part by making it appear the audience was behind Obama.
Crowley knew what Obama and she were saying wasn’t true. Because she had challenged Axelrod on TV on Sept 30th, accusing them of talking about the video for 2 weeks, when they knew it was terrorism. In the end, this helps Romney, because it keeps the issue alive. Maybe Romney didn’t get to make the death blow in the debate. But this issue is not about Romney, so it won’t hurt him . And he gets a chance to be much more clear in the next debate. And frankly, foreign policy isn’t going to determine the next president anyway, All about the economy.
And the real damaging part of the Libya exchange was when Romney talked about Obama going on a fundraiser in Vegas the day after. That was devastating.
I have this same question: How could Candy possibly "check the transcript" if the transcript wasn't already positioned for her to do so?
