Facts??? What FACTS? How about these 'inconvenient' FACTS from the NY Times:
In a stream of diplomatic cables, embassy security officers warned their superiors at the State Department of a worsening threat from Islamic extremists, and requested that the teams of military personnel and State Department security guards who were already on duty be kept in service.
The requests were denied, but they were largely focused on extending the tours of security guards at the American Embassy in Tripoli — not at the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, 400 miles away. (Shadow just HATES ACTUAL FACTS)
State Department officials testified this week during a hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that extending the tour of additional guards — a 16-member military security team — through mid-September would not have changed the bloody outcome because they were based in Tripoli, not Benghazi.

Crowley was right, and Romney was wrong: In his September 12 remarks, the president said: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for." Despite this, conservatives are insisting that Obama never said that.
First - the moderator should not have interfered in the exchange at all ... that was not the role of the moderator to take sides in the debate.
Second - I remember listening to the President's September 12 Rose Garden comments and have heard it replayed several times since --- what struck me on September 12 and still sticks with me is that Obama did NOT show any emotion as he read his statement. Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush each had occasions to make comments after terrorist attacks --- and their tone and emotion was much stronger and DEFINITIVE than Obama's was on September 12. Obama showed more emotion responding to Romney during last night's debate than he did in his Rose Garden response to the assassination of 4 Americans in Bengazi.
Third - the president did make a general reference to terrorist acts at the end of his Rose Garden comments but did NOT specifically label the events as a terrorist act. His UN Ambassador, White House spokesperson, campaign spokesperson, Secretary of State and other senior officials repeatedly said in a variety of settings that the incident in Bengazi was a spontaneous riot caused by anger over a film. President Obama repeated that same line a number of times on the campaign trail, on a few T.V. talk shows and 6 times during his speech to the UN General Assembly. The FACT is that the White House and Obama campaign was indignant when Romney labeled it a terrorist act.
Fourth - Obama's own actions --flying off to campaign fundraisers within 24 hours of the attack -- sent a clear message that Obama didn't believe the incident was serious enough for him to change his political schedule.
Obama was clearly wrong in his response to the events in Bengazi. Obama was clearly wrong in his efforts to mislead the American. As the truth is coming out, Obama realizes that he has been caught in a lie and is trying to change or reinterpret the facts to cover-up his failures.

CROWLEY "He — he did call it an act of terror." Factcheck agrees with Obama
CROWLEY " It did as well take — it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that." Factcheck agrees with Romney

The best part was, when Obama asked the Moderator to read the transcripts to his Rose Garden speech, she actually had them in front of her - and she obliged by incorrectly reading them.

Crowley Validates Obama Libya Lie Bozell Demands Media Investigate Media Cover-Up Published: 10/17/2012 1:30 PM ET
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Last night, in what was the most stunning and disgraceful single example of moderator malpractice in the history of presidential debates, CNN’s Candy Crowley allowed Barack Obama to lie to the American people about his administration’s Libya cover-up. Even worse, she then validated this lie of extraordinary magnitude by certifying it as honest and by attacking Mitt Romney when he pressed the president on his administration’s cover-up. Crowley robbed tens of millions of Americans of the truth on national primetime television. Real journalists – who were fed the Obama Administration’s Libya lies for two weeks – should be furious.
Crowley was solely responsible for choosing the questions, meaning that it was her decision that there be only one question about Libya and nothing about anything else dealing with foreign policy. Her question selection process was typically left wing. Going into Tuesday night’s debate, the Media Research Center documented that since 1992, moderators have called upon voters with a liberal agenda twice as often as those with a conservative agenda. The citizens selected by Crowley matched that tilt exactly, with six pro-Obama/liberal-themed questions, vs. three pro-Romney questions, and two others scored as neutral.
Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacts:
Crowley was an utter disaster last night, and was, by far, the worst moderator of the 2012 election.
The Libya cover-up continues, and the national news media need to start asking some tough questions – including questions about one of their own. If Obama was correct that on Day 1 he said it was a terrorist attack, why did his UN ambassador say on five different national interviews that it was a YouTube video that was responsible, and who put her up to it? If he saw this as a terrorist attack from the very beginning, why did the president himself blame it on a video six times during a UN speech? Why has he made the statement so many times, as has Hillary Clinton, as has Jay Carney, as have others?
And why did Candy Crowley validate this lie?
If the national media don’t start asking these questions soon, they also will be guilty of enabling a massive cover-up.

Every day closer to the election... the Right gets more desperate to find an "issue"... any issue in their failed attempt to bring down the President.

Lol...One dead Ambassador and 3 other dead Americans as a result of a spontaneous mob reaction to a video... Oh no, wait...Or was it an "act of terror"?
Yeah...It's just a U.S, consulate burned to the ground after it was attacked with RPG's and other heavy weapons is a manufactured "issue" unlike the VERY REAL "war on women" and war on Big Bird. Keep digging the hole, it just gets deeper and deeper and deeper.
Hey box...Just a reminder...NAIL IN HIS RE-ELECTION COFFIN.
