FR didn’t make it to the 1st question before stalling out.

==

First question is on Libya and was it an intelligence failure.

[doug from upland]

Plugs pointing his finger. Ewww, the terrorists are afraid.

[Biggirl]

Here we go!

[KeyLargo]

Biden: Bengazi was a tragedy. No plugs your President is a
“tragedy” He never answered the question from Radditz.

[Yaelle]

Seriously. If we can’t have lively discussion during a debate, maybe my donations aren’t useful here. And I hate t say that. Guarantee us speedy chat and I bet we will all donate more. Every 4 years, sheesh.

[Windflier]

Biden spinning and regurgitating campaign talking points already. He never really answered the question.

[chessplayer]

Well, here we go. Slow Joe talked about everything except the question he was asked.

[penelopesire]

Biden out of the gate agrees that it was an intelligence failure.

Get ready for major leaks now from the CIA and open war between WH and intelligence community.

[micmac]

Biden talked about everything but Libya

[eyedigress]

Not really. Biden has been working on it for a week. Better to get it out early before he forgets his scripted answer.

[maggief]

Biden has notes??

What are the rules?

[RedMDer]

Support Free Republic

[NJRighty]

Ambassador Stevens and three other men. They had names.

Oh, let's hope Ryan responds with that same comment!

[don-o]

Biden totally dodges the question.

[God luvs America]

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debate bin Laden quote out of context totally. Romney said he'd not move heaven and earth to get bin laden and leave everyone else alone

[samtheman]

Ryan answering back good.

[P.O.E.]

Norton Center Debate

Sorry, just had to do it.

[combat_boots]

What are Biden’s smiles about anyway?

[exit82]

Ryan answering well.

Biden grinning I appropriately, like a Cheshire Cat.

[Jane Long]

Is that really appropriate? Jeez....here we go. Blame game is on.
