Why did Obama ask Crowley for a transcript and why did she have one at the debate?

That is what I want to know. There was collusion between Crowley, her producer and the campaign before this debate. No doubt in my mind.

Crowley was just too quick to agree that Obama said "acts of terror". The trouble is, if Obama believed Benghazi was a terrorist act the next day, why did his administration keep pushing the red herring story about the video. The video should have become totally irrelevant if it was a terrorist attack.

I don't see how this helps Obama other than Candy handed him a gotcha moment for the debate. Overall, it is still a loser for him as it puts more focus on the Benghazi attack. It may have scored points with his base but it doesn't win him any votes he didn't already have.
