After reading the comments from the left, apparently they are thrilled Candy came to the rescue of our flailing president regarding the attack of our embassy and killing of our Ambassador. Fortunately the next debate will be foreign policy. Mitt missed a chance, but Candy looked the fool. Most people probably are not that engaged in the Libya story since the media is giving it scant attention. Energy? Obama is a bigger fool, check out yesterday’s post. Obama cuts off drilling in half of Alaska national petroleum reserve. Candy didn’t feel inclined to correct this record. I am sorry we did not have a knock out punch
President Obama is campaigning as a champion of the oil and gas boom he’s had nothing to do with, and even as his regulators try to stifle it. The latest example is the Interior Department’s little-noticed August decision to close off from drilling nearly half of the 23.5 million acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.
Have we learned anything about choosing the left for moderators? Here we go:
One of the big moments from Tuesday’s presidential debate between Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney occurred when moderator Candy Crowley of CNN injected herself into the discussion after Romney accused the president of refusing to refer to the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi as a terrorist act.
“I think (it’s) interesting the president just said something which — which is that on the day after the attack he went into the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror,” said Gov. Romney.
“That’s what I said,” the president responded.
“You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack, it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration, is that what you’re saying?”
“Please proceed, governor.”
“I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.”
“Get the transcript.”
“It — it — it — he did in fact, sir,” Crowley said, offering the president what looked to be a little debate assistance.
“Can you say that a little louder, Candy?” the president asked confidently.
“He — he did call it an act of terror. It did as well take — it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that,” Crowley said.

There are those that say Obama “won” the debate, but if the moderator has to bail you out in your worst moments, to me that could hardly be construed as a win. A survival tactic maybe, but not a win.

The upside is that it kept the topic in the news.

That was a debacle, Obama lied and Candy swore to it, Romney will have a second chance next week and I think he will make the most of it. Candy also changed the subject when Romney brought up Fast and Furious.

I thought of you when it went down. For a mement I thought we had it going.

Last night we watched Obama and Crowley, clumsily and dishonestly manipulate what we all know to be the facts. When one is not hampered by truth and integrity, just about anything goes. Now we see the leftist media criminally interfering with the public election process. Shame, shame , shame! Dont underestimate the American people.

I trust you are right . I cannot believe Americans will be unable to see through the facade. Thanks for stopping by.

Rush is making a ‘sane point’ today that those ruling that candy-man BHO won the debate (w/ ‘Candy’s’ help) did so with “lying points”. Do lying points make a winner? only if people allow it. Candy was his parachute, or ‘feeding him’ the air to help keep him up.
Rush: “Lying doesn’t win debates. Liberals are liars and the first path they’ll take if they ‘can get away with it’.” Sickening. It’s fair for them to lie and use only the truth that behooves them!
Hopefully there’s more people who acknowledge the facts from the lies!

I caught Rush as well. We shall soon see how the wheel turns on this one. Great vid..I heard that the black vote may not be as secure as the one thinks.

Nothing like having the ref trip the running back before he gets to the endzone…

Excellent analogy… the old “Clipping” penalty!
October 17, 2012 at 9:29 am
Crowley was a disgrace of a moderator. Clearly broke the rules the campaigns agreed to, and lied for Obama! This is outrageous!
October 17, 2012 at 9:48 am
It will be interesting to see what the polls have to say about the debate. It was so obvious what she was about. Thanks for stopping by, stop by again.
October 17, 2012 at 9:55 am
No question, and I will. We have to keep getting the truth out!

BTW, I give Obama the win — but just barely.
October 17, 2012 at 8:22 am
Same here.

She definitely played favorites — particularly in the first hour of last night’s debate.
I put up a couple of links today. No time to do more. I have to dash off to work. God help my poor students. I’m running on too little sleep! **sigh**

Mitt never got the chance to respond in full to Obama’s attack. How could we expect anything different. Why she was permitted to do this beats me. Apparently they btoh agreed in the end.
October 17, 2012 at 7:58 am
I’m with you, Bunker. The RNC had their heads in their butts when they agreed to jave the Left Stream media moderate all of the debates. The most watched news chanel in America is FOx and yet they are not part of the debates. What the hell is that? I also was sad that Romney didn’t mention the Alaskan land withdrawal. Though I think Romney did win points on Obama’s energy policies. I gave the win to Obama just barely because of his well timed attack on Romney’s 47% remark when he knew Romney would not be allowed to respond.
October 17, 2012 at 8:20 am
I agree. I am hoping that the next debate will pull it over the top. Mitt missed a couple of good shots. Mitt should have come back with the fact that Obama’s women staffers are paid less. Women are an issue for Mitt.
