    His dad wasn't called a liar. His words were said to be untrue. And they were.

    In other words, Romney lied.

    I don't know. We had a lot of posts yesterday about these three little words. You SEEMED to accept that Obama said them YESTERDAY, but today no, huh? What happened?

    Let me see if I can help... Act of terror... Yup. I looked them up... He STILL said them. Romney LIED!

    Exie, no one denies he said the words "act of terror." What he did not do was call the actual event a terrorist attack. We've been there, too.

    I showed where 9 days after the attack his press secretary said no, they had not called it a terrorist attack.

    I showed where two weeks later he stood in front of the UN and placed the blame squarely on the video.

    I showed where the so-called moderator acknowledged Romney was right. You however seem to be in denial in the face of mountains of evidence that we've been right.

    Monday Obama is going to get pummeled over this issue. I know he and Crowley think they were clever setting up Mitt with the transcripts ;;but that is just going to bite Obama in the butt when he has to go into it in detail.

    That's what I said.. set up. You think it a coinicidence that she had the transcripts on her desk ?

    Edit... and that wasn't the only time in the debate. She constantly ran cover for the President . If she had any integrity she would've gotten the President to answer the question ,which was "
    "Who was it that denied enhanced security and why?"
    The President dodged the question not even pretending to answer it.

    And eventually it seems Hillary will be cleared and the blame will fall squarely on Obama.

    Quote:

    After the Clinton legal team had a chance to review the State Department cable traffic between Benghazi and Washington, the experts came to the conclusion that the cables proved that Hillary had in fact given specific instructions to beef up security in Libya, and that if those orders had been carried out — which they weren’t — they could conceivably have avoided the tragedy.

    Clearly, someone in the Obama administration dropped the ball — and the president was still insisting that it was not his fault.

    In the end, then, Hillary decided to assume responsibility to show that she was acting more presidential than the president.

    I am told by my sources that she firmly believes that when the State Department cable traffic is made public, either through leaks to the press or during formal House committee hearings, it will exonerate her and shift the blame for the entire mess onto the president.
    Obama should learn the lesson that eventually your lies are going to bite in the a$$ big time.

    She had all sort of papers on her desk. She probably had a copy of O's birth certificate too.

    How did she know R would say what he did? Sort of like how O's mom put the birth announcements into the Hawaii papers after O. was born, knowing he would be president someday and there would be a controversy about his place of birth?

    Obama "finally appeared to man-up"??

    The blame was never not on him.

    You know I'm not into phoney birther theories. However ;I would point out that Candy Crowley upon learning that Romney had selected Ryan as his running mate called the Romney team the 'death wish ' team. Her biases are well known and she should've been disqualified as moderator.


    She also ran interference for the President at various times throughout the debate ;including the time Romney tried to answer the ridiculous assertion made by the President that Romney's plan for the auto companies would've caused a million job losses.

    Crowley ran for cover after the debate ,and said on CNN that she was wrong about the Libya segment.

    I read she is conservative, was trying to be fair and in the middle.

    LOTS of Republicans were shocked and horrified that Romney had picked Ryan as his running mate.

    It would have.
    Quote:

    No, she didn't.

    What Crowley said on CNN after the debate: Romney “was right in the main, I just think he picked the wrong word.” But on the same network Wednesday morning, she said she was in no way taking back her original interjection.

    “Listen, what I said on that stage is the same thing I said to you actually last night,” she told Soledad O'Brian. “[W]e got hung up on this 'yes he said,' 'no I didn't,' 'I said terror,' 'you didn't say terror.' … So I said, [President Obama] did say 'acts of terror, call it an act of terror, but Governor Romney, you are perfectly right that it took weeks for them to get past the tape.'”

    Asked if that was a backtrack, Crowley said, “No. The question was — we got so stuck on that 'act of terror.' Now, did the President say this was an act of terror? The president did not say — he said 'these acts of terror,' but he was in the Rose Garden to talk about Benghazi, so I don't think that's a leap.” (The exact phrase Obama used: “no acts of terror.”)

    I watched her behavior, a much better clue. Alan Colmes tried to say she was likely a Republican because of a quote in the NY Times, "I started being a vegetarian on the Bob Dole campaign in 1995."

    Uh, sorry Alan, she COVERED the Dole campaign for CNN as a reporter. She's no conservative.
