}}}} This was Obama’s way of attempting to be macho with some false indignation.

I don’t think it’s really false… he is, after all, a liberal, and they have their permanent membership in the “Perpetually Indignant Club” set up at birth…

}}}} The fact is that there was a serious lapse in judgement by this President and administration

Ummm… wouldn’t you have to actually SHOW judgement before you should be accused of a lapse in it?

Jus’ Sayin’….

I thought that Obama was accusing Romney of playing politics, but I see from reviewing the video that he says “the suggestion that anybody on my team…would play politics or mislead”. I doubt that Romney ever said Obama was playing politics with the terror attack; Obama had to couple that with “or mislead”. This was Obama’s way of attempting to be macho with some false indignation.

C’mon. Obama and Crowley might have colluded, and Michelle might have led the cheer that broke the rules, but Romney had a handkerchief!

Here is a must read on Obama’s foreign policy problems. It shows why the buck must stop at Obama’s desk.

This whole episode brought to mind Obamas fascination with the team-of-rivals meme. Someone should have told him that you can’t let the rivals run wild.

In either case, what a lovely set of events have ensued from the first debate and the Benghazi terrorist attack.

Momentum has switched to Romney as he combines both models of gaining voters to his advantage. Model 1: appeal to the moderates/independents. Model 2: generate excitement and momentum at just the right time.

Still, what would smoking gun look like in the Candy/Obama collusion?

MikeN: I agree that we don’t know what the papers were that Crowley was waving around. I believe I made that point clear in my post.

Isn’t kind of strange, though (and negligent) of the press not to have clarified that by finding out? One would almost think they’re not curious!

And it is also unclear whom Obama was addressing when he said “get the transcript” (in a little while I’ll be writing a post that discusses that point). Whoever he was addressing, it was a very odd thing to say at that point, since supposedly no one could get the transcript during the debate (unless Crowley had it, which would be very odd as well).

As I said, curiouser and curiouser.

OK, another look at things. Candy did NOT have the transcript. She is holding at least two different sheets of paper in that exchange, and they could be the upcoming questions.

Obama says get the transcript at Romney. He had baited him, then said get the transcript, while wanting to go to the next question, looking at Candy, because he is dismissive of Romney.

On The View, Candy doesn’t say she has the transcript, just that she had covered it.
