Just how badly did CNN's Candy Crowley destroy her first (and hopefully last) attempt as a presidential debate moderator? More than 65 million people saw that she is to debate moderation as CNN is to "news."
Barack Obama made a fatal mistake when he lied, claiming he'd labeled the Libya attack as an act of terrorism. The look on Romney's face said it all: Mr. President, here comes checkmate.
Then Crowley leapt to Obama's defense, declared a lie a truth, changed the subject, and Obama was free.
It was a travesty.
Let's get beyond the perennial partisan toe-taggers Rachel Maddow...












This Crystal Wright column does a good job of deconstructing this issue, mystic, if you're really interested.
Obama did indeed use the words "acts of terror." But it was in reference to 9/11/01. Remember, the Benghazi attack took place on 9/11/12.
I guess we're supposed to believe that this was just a coincidence and that the two weeks following this Rose Garden speech in which the entire administration repeatedly insisted that the attack evolved from a non-existent "spontaneous" demonstration protesting the movie trailer was just due to poor communication.
This one isn't open to debate on any level. Obama lied, ferociously, and used his entire team to help him in his lie.
Game, set, and match.
