| The campaigns of President Obama and Mitt Romney have reportedly voiced concerns that Candy Crowley isn’t planning to abide by the terms that were set for the second presidential debate on Tuesday night. Lawyers for the two camps have written to the Commission on Presidential Debates questioning whether Crowley intends to take a more active role during the town-hall event than the campaigns agreed to, according to Time. Crowley, who is a host on CNN, has made comments recently that suggest she plans to aggressively question the candidates during the debate at Hofstra University in New York.

Comments: I say let Candy be Candy. Let her bring her 0bama knee pads and obnoxious demeanor out for America to see. We can take it and so can Mitt. The contrast between the infantile 0bama/Crowley combination with a grown up Mitt can only help Romney.

We all know,don't we, that the Obama concern is phony. The letter is simply an attempt to pretend that Candy Crowley would apply bi-fairness.

When I picture Candy Crowley, I think of that scottish character in the Austin Powers movies, Fat Bast*rd! "I want you in my belly!"
Too bad, though, that the VP debate moderator didn't do a follow up with old joe bidet when he said that 'we wer'nt asked about security.'

This time audience members must submit their questions in advance and Crowley will decide which questions she will allow - and, of course, she intends to follow-up with her own questions - completely unbiased naturally.

It's beyond stupid, absurd that every four years the GOP bends over for the same treatment. Cleverly, another well-known LIB female moderator will be reigning over the debate. I expect to again endure compliments for Candy from the FOX anchors no matter what happens. Anything we see Tuesday night is because we do not demand better.

The standard seems to be that the moderator must have exceptionally low ratings, and hate conservatives. She's well qualified.
Romney will do well, despite the efforts of against him. Gallup, under threat of legal action by 0, selected the 'undecided' voters who will ask the questions. CNN, in the tank for 0 since day one, will 'screen' the questions. Scowley, who hates Mitt Romney, will assist 0 during the debate. All of the fossil-media is preparing excuses. Leftard pundits will spin like cyclones. 0 insiders will claim victory.
All that's left is the action. Can handlers convert a total fraud back into the image of a pResident? Will Romney's win be as dramatic as the last one?

The RNC should decline to participate in the debates if the moderators aren't selected on a more neutral basis.
Crowley is on her knees for the Mulatto Kid and his ilk and is a very poor choice as a moderator. Why should a moderator even be able to ask his or her own questions. Let the voters decide!
I predict that she will slant the questions in favor of the Democraps and will try to rip up Romney into saying something that will reflect badly on him.

I would think this has Obama wetting himself. He can't handle press conferences. If Candy asks follow up questions or nails him on false points he'll be lost again. Obama wants to give his pre rehearsed canned response to the questions then attack Romney on Bain without any interference.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation´s chief law enforcement officer, returned to the courthouse where he once served as a judge, this time in the role of prospective juror performing his civic duty. The Justice Department said Holder wasn´t chosen and that he won´t be called back. Had he been selected for the jury Tuesday, the attorney general would have been on a panel hearing an armed robbery case. Holder sat in the last row of Judge Stuart Nash´s courtroom along with other prospective jurors as the judge gave details of the case.

The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions. Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train. Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead.

For the past five months, the Republican message on foreign policy message has been defined by a single word: Benghazi. Ever since the deadly September 11 attack on the U.S. compound in that Libyan city, Republicans have obsessed over the episode. Mitt Romney made Benghazi a favorite talking point in the 2012 campaign home stretch. More recently, Republicans have invoked Benghazi to shoot down one would-be cabinet nominee, Susan Rice, and delay two others, Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. They have dragged a parade of administration officials, including Hillary Clinton

The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly-colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
