I watched the whole debate...post a video link where she has, in her hand, a copy of the transcript of the Rose Garden speech.
I’ve seen it replayed over and over. She lifts a paper, motioning towards Romney when she says “That’s right.” Obama at that moment interrupts and says, “Say it louder, Candy.”
I don’t remember seeing it the night of the debate, but that was either the camera angle, or the fact that I am always doing something else and may have my eyes averted.
But, in the replays, it is really blatant. 1, 2, 3. Obama says, “Get the transcript” and she lifts the paper with a little wave and says, “That’s right.” You can tell that it threw Romney.
The paper she shuffled may indeed not have been—and probably wasn’t—a transcript of the Rose Garden speech. That would be for subsequent deniability, but at the time it served its purpose—to make Romney believe that she had such transcript at hand and whatever came forth from her was about to be “the verified, gospel truth.”
There may have been two or three such pre planned triggers (Zero’s arranged word and/or gestures) that were intended to engage set plays. More than one set play might have involved pulling out a piece of paper meant to rattle Mitt, as if the Candy Masticator “had the goods,” but since everything had been committed to memory anyway—again, for deniability—it never mattered, whatever might have been written on the paper.
