The Candy-Obama Controversy: 'Get the Transcript'
American Spectator ^ | 10.18.12 @ 10:17AM | By Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 10/18/2012 9:30:39 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

the question is being raised as to why, of all the material Crowley could possibly have had in front of her that night, Candy Crowley had the transcript from the Rose Garden Benghazi statement -- and Obama seemed to know that...there are a lot of people raising the question of behind-the-scenes coordination -- all stemming from Obama's instruction (and it certainly sounded like an instruction) to "Get the transcript." Followed instantly by Crowley complying -- and silencing Romney on the topic. When Romney was indeed correct.

Just one of those amazing coincidences. Nothing to see here.

Kind of interesting that Candy would have that particular transcript of the Rose Garden statement at the ready.

Lots of statements have been made by the WH and 0 about Benghazi.

Curious that 0 should cite his Rose Garden statement as his defense, Candy then have it at the ready, and then spring to 0’s defense when Mitty challenged.

Just a highly remarkable coincidence, I'm sure.

seems like word is starting to get out about this. I wonder if Bill OReilly will have their “body language” specialist comment on this.

For the 3rd debate, this is where Romney trashes 0bama for blaming the ‘YouTube video’ for days after he said ‘act of terror’ in the Rose Garden. He should ask 0bama, “Why did you blame a movie for days, including in your U.N. speech, if you knew in the Rose Garden this was an ‘act of terror’ not connected to the movie in any way? Why did you call the Ft. Hood shooting ‘workplace violence’ when the perpetrator was shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ as he fired his weapon? You STILL have not called either a terrorist attack, Mr. President. WHY, Mr. President?”

I htought that entire exchange between obama and cramdy crowlady — “I called it terrorism the next day”, “yes, he did”, “say it louder, candy”, “let’s move on” — sounded rehearsed.

Read the comments....She had an earpiece.

Have always said he has an earpiece for one on one...A tiny implant would be sufficient.

Video of this passage is here:

You can see her shifting papers, apparently including the transcript, long before she verifies 0bama's request.. This is hugh and series!

She was told NOT to debate or participate. Wasn’t her place.

Obama, as usual, was misleading. He said “act of terror” - someone being murdered is in terror - but it shading administration policy to use the word terrorism.

“get the transcript”

I missed that tidbit until now. Incredible that Obama summoned her to get the transcript. Do we believe that Obama new beforehand that she had the transcript?

Well whatever happened, it worked. On several MSM as well as a DNC spinner on Fox, the new talking points are, “he has called it an act of terrorism, from the beginning, starting with the rose garden”

Romney did screw up, though.. He should not have said ‘act of terror’, he should’ve said ‘terrorist attack’. 0bama STILL has not called the Benghazi event a ‘terrorist attack’. 0bama will NOT EVER say ‘terrorist attack’. Romney needs to hit 0bama with this HARD.

That has been my contention from the minute it happened, it was coordinated.

We know this isn’t true per se, but that does NOT explain why 0bama insisted after that, that the YouTube video triggered the incident. It had nothing to do with it yet 0bama ran with that line for days..
