Candy Crowley Fact Checks Mitt Romney On Libya
Presidential debate moderator Candy Crowley corrected a testy Mitt Romney after the Republican presidential candidate charged that President Obama failed to call the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi an “act of terror.”
More than an hour into the debate, an undecided voter in the town hall forum asked the president about the recent attack in Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three additional Americans.
When Romney responded to the question, Romney charged that it took Obama days to call the Benghazi attack an act of terror. This assertion was incorrect. Obama called the incident an “act of terror” during his remarks on September 12, just one day after the tragedy.
Obama interjected, telling the Republican presidential candidate to “get the transcript” of his remarks. When the governor doubled down on his charge, Crowley corrected him, saying the president “‘did in fact’ call the attack an act of terror.
Before the debate Chris Matthews stated “Biden needs to help put the fighting Irish apostrophe in “O’Bama”.
Looks like it worked. (Although I’m not sure it was enough to stem Romney’s momentum.)
I still think Obama was too nice. (But I guess there is a little bit more hoodlum in me than there is in POTUS.)
(But I guess there is a little bit more hoodlum in me than there is in POTUS.)
LOL! Only YOU can be the judge of that.
It must really suck to be corrected like a small child….LOL
LOL Jaz, it probably does and with Romney’s enormous ego, it must have been a real blow to that ego.
Ya think
I love that face on Romney it says a thousand words. He is fuming.
