Yeah I'm sure reading far too much into it. In a debate where the questions were supposedly unknown to either candidate in a debate not specifically about foreign policy Obama would just happen to know Candy Crowley had the specific transcripts of the September 12th speech? Anyone that watches that interchange between them knows that was a statement not a question. Not - do you have the transcripts, but, "get the transcripts". I realize that there is nothing, absolutely nothing that the President or his campaign could be guilty of that would sway your vote in any way but the statements are there on the tape and I do believe that most independent and unbiased listeners would have doubts about just how the President knew Candy Crowley would have those transcripts at hand what with all the other questions that would be ask. It surely is suspicious that either the Campaign knew exactly what transcript to provide her with, if they provided it, or that Obama knew she would have that transcript.
There was no - if you would get the transcript, or have the fact checkers check the transcript but rather the statement was directed to her as knowing she had the exact transcript. Her reaction also was telling in that she was obviously flustered over the statement and was wanting to move on. I love the hypocrisy that the left has. Had this been Bush or any other Conservative/Republican or even Ryan in his debate said something akin to that there would be no second guessing or no benefit of the doubt but there would have been Congressional hearings called for. Trouble with Obama is that he just can't think ahead and was too anxious to have her confirm his mis-truth (the terrorism of the Sept 12th speech was looking back to Sept 11, 2001 and not the 2012 Libya attack anyway).
No one can prove that there was cheating in the form of the moderator communicating with the President or his campaign people before the debate but as far as circumstantial evidence is concerned I fully believe there is ample there to indicate that some prior collusion happened. I am just hoping that some supporters of Obama would actually listen, somewhat, unbiased and actually consider the potential and possibility rather than outright denying it because they are so sure it couldn't happen with their saint of a man. Just look at the zeal and zest and the efforts Obama supporters tried to tie Mitt Romney to cheating using notes in the 1st debate. The media jumped all over it and there was much made over it until additional camera views proved it to be a napkin with no notes on it. Yeah y'all were all willing to give Romney the benefit of the doubt ... right?
Just more proof that NOTHING would matter that would cause any of Obama's blind supporters to question anything around or regarding him. No matter that the Administration was neck deep in a contrived coverup to attempt to place suspicion and blame on an obscure youtube video as causing the attack on our embassy in order to cover up their own incompetence. Neither the coverup nor the incompetence of the Administration that got four Americans killed nor the Administration's failure to act in time to save those under attack means anything to supporters of Obama for I fully believe many of his supporters would rather see the nation be destroyed as long as he was re-elected. I fully believe that if given a choice of Romney as President in a free America or suspending elections and placing Obama as dictator suspending freedoms of all Americans many would choose the later and be for placing Obama as dictator. There are so many voters today that would vote for the man regardless of what his positions were or how bad his performance would be. Don't fret though if you are one of those then you are in good company for there are plenty that, I believe, feel that way, and you have a very supporting and sympathetic media to accompany you as well.
