Staged, set up questions, "How are you different from President Bush?". C'mon CNN. . .

[RandallFlagg]

Now I am off to see what the dufus pundits have to say.

Don't forget to take some iodine and bleach with you.

[Miss Didi]

Joe Trippi thinks that Mitt won. And that Candy on the Rose Garden was like a ref throwing the flag...or whatever the sports term is. Of course, Brit says Barry did well.

[tomkat]

Well one good thing about tonight's molasses site performance .. the post numbering counter had another easy shift !

Crowley played ref and she lied.

Romney was dead-bang right.

The Marxist didn’t call it terrorism in the Rose Garden.

He merely said and referred to generic “acts of terrorism” as an after thought.

He was still promoting the “obscure video lie” even at the UN during his awful speech.

Krauthammer is coming up next.

More analysis by morning.

Obama looked bad.

[mylife]

He spun the video excuse for what? 3 weeks?

(I can’t tell if this is posting or not).

SIGH

[mylife]

How is Obama different from Carter?

[American Constitutionalist]

Even though some will see Romney's answer to the Libya question as a disappointment at least take some consolation that this will keep Benghazi in the news cycle even longer up to election day and topic of discussion for a long time.
Maybe this is the key point in this debate that some big wigs like G.W. Bush, Richard Cheney, former Secretary of State's were waiting for to chime in on what happened in Benghazi.
They were waiting for a opening to say what they have to say.
Benghazi ain't going away and you could see in Obama's face he did not like that question being asked and felt very uncomfortable about it.

That’s interesting factoid (him clutching pen in right hand).

[madison10]

At least 3 weeks and they also went and arrested the guy for minor parole violations to appease Muslim sensitivities. Wonder where the video idea came from and who planted it in the Middle East.

[wastedyears]

Oh man, the website is really dodgy tonight.

I don’t think Romney hammered Obama enough tonight. Plenty of opportunities to make Obama’s face go red and taught, but he didn’t take them.

All he has to do is say the two magic words, “you’re lying,” and he’ll destroy Obama.

[1_Rain_Drop]

Thank you for a wonderful evening!

“That’s interesting factoid (him clutching pen in right hand).”

Bob Dole used to clutch a pen in his right hand.

And those of us stubborn enough to debate liberal friends will have that stupid afterthought thrown at us repeatedly.

Sigh.

Obama ends with a recycled lie. His grandfather DIDN’T fight in WWII. It was his great uncle IIRC from 2008 lie debunking.
