last night she was wearing her obama knee pads

And she let Obama off the hook from answering a serious question from Romney about Fast and Furious! Disgusting! While we waste more time on non-isues like equal pay. What a crock!!!!

Obama's big decision over the next few days will be deciding whether it's worth trying to steal the election.

She didn't forget the timeline, she chose to swear to obama's lie.

The unintended consequence of Crowley's stained-blue-dress-moment is that the obama administration's Benghazi cover up is back on the radar, where it will remain.

obama and his cheerleaders are so short-sighted. They may have won a skirmish on optics, but they will lose the war as a result.

Maybe she inadvertently hurt Obama by making it even more of an issue--what did the president know, when did he know it, and what did he say about it?

"And guess what?" added Ms. Crowley. "It only took me seventeen minutes to devour the large box of Russell Stover Assorted Chocolates presented to me last night by David Axelrod after the debate!"

C'mon, now; quit making fun of Candy's physique. She can't help that any more than her lack of mental ability....

#7 is correct. Crowley made the issue a bigger issue and she has already corrected herself. Now she has lots of explaining to do which make the lie grow bigger and bigger.

And yet she is touted as a non-boased professional. Just her CHOICE of questions belied that fact----where was Obamacare, for example, Obama's crowning jewell?

Adds a great deal of credence to the charge that this exchange was a set up.

Did Crowley and the Obama campaign set up Romney this question before the debate?

Right after the debate - Hillary Clinton came forward and took responsibility for Crowley's mistake.

She outed herself as pro-Obama. Confirmed it to anyone who had any doubt, or who was pooh-poohing her supposed bias going into the debate.

The commission itself is left-wing. It is time for Republican candidates to take a good long look at this commission and its debates and decide if they should continue.

Now that I have written that I can take the opposing view and say that Debate #1 brought Mitt Romney a windfall. He gave the performance of a lifetime and Obie, cards all stacked in his favor, flunked bigtime. Last night Obie "came off the mat", as someone said, but as a nasty disagreeable person spouting the same old talking points he and his minions have been spouting for four years.

So... maybe the good guys win in spite of the rigged commission and its biased moderators?

Crowley's serious mistake - her facts and her intervention on Obie's behalf - will be haunting her. And Obie, as this will keep Benghazigate and his failure to call it terror going for some time. Those who said he called Benghazi a terrorist attack will have to look long and hard for those words in his Rose Garden statement - and in every other statement he and his minions and messengers made from then through his appearance before the General Assembly of the UN two weeks later.

Nice work, Candy.

(If I looked like Candy does, I would find another first name.)

Re #9, a friend of ours of about Candy's age and "physique" has recently lost 40 lbs. on a doctor-monitored weight loss program involving diet and exercise.

Candy CAN do something. She doesn't have to look that way. And she probably knows it. For all of Mooch's preaching, we have a lot of obese liberals in the public eye, including Obie's surgeon general who is a disgrace.

The topic was well scripted.
She followed the DNC produced script.

The left couldn't get away with their lies without the msm swearing to them.

That entire exchange did nothing to help Obama because in the end he is basically arguing that he called the murder of 4 Americans an act of terror on day 2 instead of day 14, 15, 16 or 17? Really, this is what Obama believes makes someone presidential - word timing?

Sickens me to look at the photos of the coffins after they arrived at the airfield with armed guards standing next to them. No additional security after repeated requests, after repeated terror attacks in Benghazi Libya and the fact that the 9/11 anniversary was right around the corner. But dead bodies sitting on true American soil deserve only the best protection.

I think Obama is doomed. Can't wait to see the new polls. All he did was call Romney a liar last night and lied about everything he's done and not done. His idiot base will always love him, the rest despise him.

If we take all of this exchange (and subsequent follow-up by the spin doctors), Obama first implied Benghazi was a terror attack, but then shifted to arguing - for an extended period of days - that it was not a coordinated terror attack.

Oh, now that's impressive -- when one's reasoning leads one AWAY from the truth into an obstinate insistance on erroneous conclusions?

Kerry gave us the gem that he was for the war before he was against it. Now Obama was right on Benghazi before he changed his mind. Not sure which is more laughable.

#15, how about Porky Crowley? Or better yet Bruiser Crowley since she looked like an NFL lineman last night.

Why do some people keep referring to this as "Crowley's mistake" ?

This was no mistake. She knew full well the timeline and what was said.

Crowley, ultimately, gave a gift to Mitt - the return of the spotlight on Benghazigate. With only 6 days left before the debate on foreign policy, there's not much time for the administration to turn this thing around to O's advantage. But I don't put anything past them. Watch for more news stories on increased drones over Libya, military at the ready, etc. etc. They are desperate and they should be.
