Exactly!

If you watch the debate over again, and look for when Obama said "proceed" it is really something.....

The look on his face, in his eyes, it was all staged!!!

Obama was challenging Mitt to get the transcript. He wasn't saying the moderator had one with her. In the legal field and in business, it is very common to ask for a transcript when one has been made to verify what was said. Attorneys pay people called court reporters LOTS of MONEY to report and prepare verbatim transcripts of hearings, depositions and trials so they have a RECORD in the future of exactly what people said. In the case of politics, using a transcript to refute a lie is also very common.

Candy Crowley is a long-time experienced journalist who would easily remember specifics like what the President said in a speech which had been given so much attention.

Remarks by the President on the Deaths of U.S. Embassy Staff in Libya | The White House


"...As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity...

The Obama-Crowley Set-Up - By John Yoo - The Corner - National Review Online


Did the Obama campaign prep Candy Crowley?

Looking back at the debate, one thing I've heard mentioned is:

How did Candy Crowley know Obama's exact words from his Rose Garden speech?

Obama used the parsed words "Act of terror" in that speech. He later repeats that sentence during the debate.

Romney, thinking he caught Obama in an obvious lie, pounces.

But Crowley immediately comes to Obama's defense.

Reporter or not, how did she recall his exact wording?

Finally, people are beginning to realize something very dirty was taking place

here:The Obama-Crowley Set-Up - By John Yoo - The Corner - National Review Online



Also, I think it is all very odd, how Candy Crowley, just happens to have a copy of the transcript handy,
something that took place on Sept. 11/12???


Really?? Really??


Hey, and this is not about her being over weight, or having had plastic surgery on her face or any other physical attribute, this is about honesty, ethics, professional ethics.

I know they are hard to come by in our liberal dominated media, but this takes the cake!!!!

SHAME ON YOU CANDY CROWLEY, YOU ARE NOT A JOURNALIST,

and you definitely are NOT Moderator material!!!!!
Elvis is alive! I saw him at the post office today!

At the very least it was obvious that Crowley was biased throughout the debate. She allowed Obama to interupt at will and silenced Romney for the same behavior.
LOL even my hard core dem coworkers joked about it. They thought it was amusing calling it Team Obama.
The Moderator is supposed to be neutral. Crowley assisted 1 candidate and to make it worse she did when it wasn't even Obama's turn to speak.

This is a old liberal trick that was first used against Bush the elder. The day before the debate with Clinton he visited the debate site and who does he see on stage? The pony tailed guy practicing his whining question about do you feel our suffering blah blah and of course on debate night Clinton gets to use his famous quip " I feel your pain " The big 3 networks have a obvious {D} bias that a blind man could see.
