A brief update from a longtime D.C. political operative shows calm in the storm that is the final weeks of a presidential campaign – and regarding last night’s most recent debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the sentiment appears to be NO WORRIES.

_________________________________
Ok, I got no time to give right now but you made it more than clear you want to hear what I have to say on the debate. So here goes.
Obama won. Just deal with it and move on. I’d call it a toss up until the moderator stopped the governor’s momentum on Benghazi. You already did something on that yourself. That was about as blatant a moment of media bias smack in the middle of a debate that I can recall. Then she has the nerve to go on her network right after the debate and say “oops, Romney was actually right”!!!!!
Whatever. That’s how it happened and there isn’t anything anyone can do to change that. I’ll put it to you this way. Obama won last night but Romney didn’t lose. That isn’t me trying to doctor up what happened. It’s fact. People saw what Crowley did. Her own network was uncomfortable with it. My guess is that for the first debate the word to the moderator was to help Obama. This time it was to save Obama. That’s what she did. We expected they would try and help. We were caught maybe just a bit off guard on how aggressive she was in being so open about saving him. The questions she chose. That group of so called “undecideds”???? Nope. It was about 80% pro-Obama all the way.
Again, I’ll say whatever. So what. Now I know you are angry at how it went down like that. How Benghazi got shoved into the background. Hell, did you see how Crowley totally buried any discussion of Fast and Furious? Can’t help but laugh at how obvious it all was.
But here is some very good news. At least regarding the spine of these Romney people. After the debate, there isn’t complaining. There isn’t finger pointing. There isn’t whining. They just pick up where they left off. Upward and onward. So we got shoved around a bit by a bullshit debate scenario. Lots of people watching that debate could see how it was manipulated against the governor. Romney handled it about as well as he could. Might have missed a few opportunities here and there, but overall, he did just fine. And the campaign wasn’t rattled. Not one bit. That shows class. That shows strength. That shows a team really in its stride as we head to the finish line.
And as far as Benghazi. Obama had his little canned moment speech of outrage. But we got the tapes. We got the evidence. He gets a short term reprieve. We get the much more important longer term news cycle. The guy lied. He’ll be caught. There will be some of his base who won’t give a sh-t. But the rest? Those voters will care. Any undecideds left? We win them. All of them. As for “Obama’s base”? Sh-t. That base of his has been shrinking big time for months. Fire those people up all they want. Big f-cking deal. That’s only about 35% of the electorate. They can have them. This election cycle, there just isn’t enough of them to win this thing and the Obama team knows it. They are totally in the f-cking weeds right now.
The media is gonna try and spin the “comeback kid” scenario for Obama the next few . Fine. We don’t care. They were going to do that regardless what the actual outcome of this debate was. Let them high five themselves all they want. By the weekend a different tune is coming. Of course, there are lots of whispers of plans to alter this outcome. Hit Romney up with a scandal, maybe Obama bombs the f-ck out of Libya just for sh-ts and giggles.
Anything is possible. But this Romney team is tough. I really like how they are running this campaign. That doesn’t mean anyone can afford to sit back and hope it happens. Everybody needs to keep the pressure on. That’s you. That’s everyone you know. Talk to people about what is really going on. Don’t let the media hijack this thing. They are trying. But if enough people stay connected and educated, the media don’t have a chance. I’m just starting to really appreciate the power of this new media thing you call it. Forget the Crowleys of the world. She is dinosaur just like me. We are all on the way out.
President Romney. Just keep saying it. Sounds good doesn’t it?
Sounds like the right thing at the right time.

*****UPDATE*****
This just came from Insider:
Have a heads up for you. This comes directly from the Old Man. Military intelligence may have tracked location of a guy called “Khattalah” who apparently organized the Benghazi attack. Check media reports for name. Obama to order drone strikes or possible all out bombing operation. Says it appears imminent. Obama will then make claim “perpetrators brought to justice” to squash Benghazi questions and play part of hero. “Bin Laden Version 2 “ If accurate, this scenario would fit with the earlier rescue operation scenario you had sent me earlier. That went to sh-t so now they are recalibrating the same general idea with an updated version of it.
I have not heard anything resembling something this specific. Doing double time trying to confirm. Nobody in Romney camp aware of this. Or if they are, not tipping their hand.
This has me worried. Old Man attempting to get in front of it be he’s got his hands full with other critical Europe related issues. Says he has source in Libya but has been unable to locate. ????? Tone of his message suggests more worried than me. And I’m pretty panicked about this.
Any ideas?

President Romney sounds very patriotic and powerful.
The Crowley thing is blowing up bigger, I think, than WHI anticipated. Yes, it was as blatant as such a thing could get and she contradicts HERSELF from just a few days ago. Perhaps she doesn’t understand the youtubes. But the Benghazi thing especially has been reinforced. Biden really put them on the spot with his flat and mendacious denial. Obama doubled down on it, his only play. And the foreign policy debate is yet to come. That will be managed by another Obot. But what the hell? That’s all Romney has met from the media to this day. Bring it on and let the doofus have his teleprompter if he wants it.
Yes, that’s what I always say — “upward and onward” patriots!
Generally, think the debate turned more people’s votes to Romney than not. Maybe they’ll finally start really checking for the real truth on him too. Yes, the real truth about Benghazi will be out there a lot. And who knows what else before election day. Whatever it is, it won’t bode well for Obama Admin. I also agree with WHI, “President Romney” – sounds like “the right thing for the right time”. Been feeling those “vibes” for a long time — with all his flaws and things we don’t like about him, still feel that is true.
And…..yes, anything is possible re what they’ll pull to win but…..more importantly, “with God, anything is possible” too!!!
Keep an eye on this, it is about damage control for Obama. This is about keeping the Jackson’s silent about what they know about the Obama’s And how Patrick Fitzgerald and the Tribune protect Obama..
Latest Jackson Jr. probe clouds political, legal future

As Obama’s cover story comes down, the curtain goes up on the USAO’s cover-up of J.J., Jr.’s role in the Blago story
http://illinoispaytoplay.com/2012/10/05/as-obamas-cover-story-comes-down-the-curtain-goes-up-on-the-usaos-cover-up-of-j-j-jr-s-role-in-the-blago-story/
Not to differ with WHI, but a campaign that felt good about the results last night don’t send Robert Gibbs to Fox and Friends to spin what the president said. With an index card to make sure he didn’t mis-speak because they all know they are walking a tight-rope. The media would have and probably will try to spin this as a comeback, but Obama didn’t help them out by blatantly lying. You can’t make a purse from a sow’s ear.
Something else I don’t think anyone has noticed: last night was the first time Obama trotted out the weak “I called it terrorism the next day!” Excuse. Never heard it before. But Crowley was RIGHT on top of it (wrong…but right on cue!). She was told that would be the defense beforehand and was ready.
Not only did she have her defense ready, she had her “fact checking” source right in front of her on the podium, just waiting to be called on!
Great piece describing how most of us feel (it was very difficult for me to see & hear Obama (or any liberal); I usually turn it to mute too or change channels all the time but I made myself listen last night, but it was painful. Excerpts:
“Eventually I had to use my remote’s mute button whenever it was Obama’s turn to speak during last night’s debate. Listening to him speak was one thing in 2008—before he had acquired any track record to speak of, but it is something else to hear him lie through his teeth when you know what he has and has not done as POTUS the past four years. Listening to him last night was teeth-gritting stuff I’ll tell ya.
Any last remaining vestiges of hope that I can trust anything that a Democratic politician says was laid to rest last night—along with any hope that the media will give Romney a fair shake during the debates. The liberal slant of the moderators has moved beyond embarrassing into irritating (moving toward infuriating). The liberal media will deny having any such bias of course, but as we know they lie.
I am tired of pussy-footing around with these double-dealing snakes in the grass. Screw using such euphemisms as “double standard” and “hypocritical” when describing them. When liberals are labeled “hypocrites” what is really being said is that they are lying weasels—well say it!
When it is mentioned that the media has a “double standard,” what is meant is that the media gives a free pass to Democrats for almost any mistake, slander, corruption, etc., while holding any conservative’s feet to the fire for the least little misstep—real or imagined.
Saying that the media has a “double standard” glosses over and obscures the fact that they are in bed with the Left, and that their purported “news” is thoroughly tainted with that prejudice and partisanship. Say it! Blatant favoritism is what it is.
I am beyond tired of seeing people act as if liberals actually deserve respect. They do not. Perhaps once upon a time they did, but if so, that time is long gone. Now all I see are arrogant, duplicitous frauds herding together like sheep while bleating about what wonderful individualists they are. They mock and belittle personal responsibility and merit, while embracing failed economics, failed ideologies, and failed ideas. They think nothing of betraying America by promoting one world government, and are convinced that they are oh so much better than you—unless you are one of “them,” of course. I am so over putting up with their immature nonsense.
I recently read where some liberals are saying that they will leave the United States if Romney is elected. To which I say, Hallelujah! Can I buy you a ticket? I think it is a great idea! North Korea, Cuba…name your Marxist garden spot and I will help you pack your bags.
I have also read where liberals are saying that they will riot if Romney is elected POTUS. Personally, I say bring it on, bring it on. There is no surprise in any of this. It is well known that liberals tend to project their faults onto others, and when they are not deluded by their projections, they use the technique of blaming others for what they themselves are guilty of as a purposeful stock-in-trade ploy—a largely successful gambit to deflect attention off of their own misdeeds and lies.
For example, leftists have a long history of despising the middle-class (the hated bourgeoisie), and yet they love to claim that it is conservatives who hate the middle-class, and the liberals who love them. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
And their propensity for violence (yet another case of projection by the left) should let us know well before hand that these whiny, forever disgruntled, immature narcissists will throw a tantrum as a matter of course whenever they do not get their way.

I think people are tired of being lied to. Obama, his minions, Congress, the media tell lie after lie after lie. We’re not stupid. The American people have had enough.
uh oh…
http://www.buzzfeed.com/wiowsa/one-of-your-presidential-candidates-isnt-being-ho-4afz
Perhaps these are documents from a college admission packet.
Well Buzzfeed is pro Obama and liberal. The domain is supposedly run by a company out of Chicago. In 2005 the domain featured anti Bush stuff. The twitter account denies any connection to Buzzfeed but I doubt this denial.
So, this whole http://octsurprise.com/ business is anti Romney – Pro Obama, OR its a carefully orchestrated attack on Obama under the guise of perhaps being a liberal Romney attack site.
The images on the page look like tax forms. Just a guess. Not going to give it a whole lot of interest for now. It will probably flop no matter what it is about.
Yes, my thoughts — they’re anti-Romney & whatever it is, it will flop, backfire – nothing to worry about.
Hints from their Twitter account:
~ Third fact: mentioned in both the VP debate and second presidential debate. ‘Brief’
~ The (second) most important document of the 2012 election
~ First Hint: It will directly, explicitly and irrefutably contradict public statements.
~ I think the foreign policy debate is next Monday …
Also ~ We occupy a shared server, not dedicated. Had only few hours to execute, it is what it is. If site goes down, watch twitter. (How would Romney campaign be able to take down the site? My guess is leaning that this is against Obama.)
Remember quite some time ago, Breitbart indicated an October surprise, right before the election…could it be? Haven’t heard from them in awhile.
This has turned out to be an elaborate “Rick Roll” attempt… so no “October Surprise”… at least from these guys anyway.
I respect WHI, and I think I’m seeing how people in his position perceive things. There is a lot of “gut” that goes into their equations. This is my gut: questions that show what people think, especially people who are not political – and who might even hate politics and politicians:
- If I needed someone to invest my retirement money, who would I trust to invest it so that it would grow? Mitt or Barack?
- If I had an emergency in the middle of the night, and both of these guys were neighbors, who would I call? Mitt or Barack?
- If I were going on vacation and both were neighbors, who would I leave my keys with, and who would I want calling me (or the police) if something was wrong? Mitt or Barack?
- If I needed a job reference, who would I go to? Mitt or Barack?
This is for Mitt/Barack, but also for Ann/Michelle:
- If I expected to die very soon from a ravaging illness, and I’m a widow or widower or divorced from a very bad person, or single for any other reasons, and there is no one to take care of my kids, and my kids would soon need a home, who would I trust to place them in a good home? The Romneys or the Obamas?
Those are human perspectives, and they’re taking hold; they’re the ones that are beginning to resonate, and they can all be summed up with one word: reliability.
Who is more reliable?
Most excellent questions. If only the debate could be as simple as that. But the media has to interfere and make a mess of making a decision. Hope you don’t mind me passing this on as ‘author unknown.’
Does anyone really believe that a moderator could come away with both sides happy? Doubtful. Candy was a typical lefty journalist, but not much more.
The thing is that people have been living in misery for 4 years thanks to Obama. Just so long as Romney still has a pulse on Nov. 6, which I fully anticipate, he’ll win the election. There’s very little team Obama can do about the poor state of the country with only 3 weeks left.
Wonder if his cabinet will skip town after they’re voted out…? Surely, scandal after scandal will emerge that may implicate them in felonious and/or treasonous action. It’s quite clear that Romney and Obama despise each other; it isn’t completely out of the question that a Romney administration would prosecute.
For those of you who think my assessment is too sunny, consider that Obama has now lost the unions, the state department, and the CIA. Not sure he ever had the military. He sacrificed the white male vote. He has abused the “Hispanic” vote and killed Mexicans with FnF. He’s lost the energy sector and the teachers. Obama could very well kill the Democrat party as we know it.
Did anyone else catch the not so subtle hint WHI dropped????
—By the weekend a different tune is coming—
Can’t wait to see what’s coming down the pike!!
Yeah, and he also warned about “whispers of plans to alter this outcome.” What that means is that the President may be once again willing to risk national security in order to gain political points; national security comes first, but these effers in the Whitehouse are willing to throw the dice!
It could be useful to try to get a read on the things they’re planning.
Ready? Set?
WHI , respectfully disagree…We don’t hand a win to the best cheater….Obama repeatedly lied and in some cases with an assist by the moderator. Liars are eliminated as losers when appealing to the people for their vote. Sorry but TRUST is a major factor, especially in these times, when choosing a leader and casting ones vote…..Romney is not being vetted for lies today…Obama is. Further I stand by my earlier contention that Crowley’s assist with Obama’s lie on Libya only brings more attention to the true story of Libya, what Obama did and didn’t do…and voters will look forward to the next debate, especially being on foreign policy..to flesh out the truth. Political insiders may find shady language and cutting corners ok. Most people know a lie is a lie…and lying is not acceptable…And that is exactly why so many are coming to UM, Breitbart etc instead of ABC, NBC and CBS…lies make people cringe–We demand truth.
Also might consider that Obama was different than in the first debate; he wasn’t prepared on the first one. The contrast is actually damning, because it shows that this President isn’t prepared – we’re relying on him to be on his “A” game on national security and everything else?
Two Obamas showed up for the debates – but people remember the first one.
Great picture, UM. It’s a pictorial reminder, summation, of the crap we’ve had to live with the past four years.
Barry wished it were four years ago, when, even then, he wanted to pretend he was running against W., not J. McC. Barry, with an assist from the lib questioner and C.C., tried to make people think Mittens was GWB and that somehow, someone else had wrought all the destruction of the last four years. Romney dealt with that well though.
Romney did really well all around. I don’t see how anyone can think that liar Bobo won anything last night.

UM — Next interview, could you please ask WHI what he sees Obama doing when he loses the election? There’s a strong feeling that he’ll go on to wreak havoc for the U.S. via an influential position in the U.N.
I personally think he’s too lazy to do ANYTHING, esp. if he’s got a mansion in HI bought free and clear for him.
Also, what’s the likelihood that President Romney will keep the U.S. as a member of the U.N.? Withdrawing would make TONS of headaches go away instantly for our country, esp. the outrageous Agenda 21 garbage as well as U.N.-levied taxes (!) and gun-control.
Who cares about the points? Do you remember specifically what either one said? Nooooo.
What is important is the overall impression and the sublimal one. And yesterday Obama lost on both.
Obama’s demeanor was not calm and assertive. It was agitated, sometimes inappropriatly smilling, and agressive.
It just more of the same from the first debate just more animated.
Romney planted several “traps” for the next debates including mentioning fastnfurious and the executive order forbidding free access to information. I expect to see these points talked again in a week.
This debate is not an isolated event. It is part of a motion and the motion is trending to Romney. And yesterday performance by Obama did not reverse the trend.
Case closed. Moving on.
President Romney….
Insider is wrong just like he was wrong when he said Obama is an atheist and not a Muslim. I guess that ring he wears with the Islamic writing “There is no God but Allah” means he’s an atheist? Obama did not win last night in any sense of the word. If you mean the media shilling for him is a “win”, ok. Any objective person looking at the debate knows it was a bloodbath with Romney as the winner. Obama cannot debate, he just repeats slogans and looks and sounds stupid doing it. But I guess if you have a media telling people that “he won” I guess he “won”?
Regarding the update : At this point , I don’t think getting the organizer of the attack will make much difference . What happened happened – the facts remain the same and yet another bombing or drone strike won’t change them . Al Quaida and its affiliates are still active , Obama’s foriegn policy has been a disaster and the response to Benghazi , the finger pointing , the blame shifting , the lies and obfuscations all demonstrate the sheer incompetence at the very top in this administration .
I totally disagree with you, UM. Romney run the debate. Completely.
.
I totally disagree with you, UM. Romney WON the debate. Completely.
WHite House Insider — I strongly disagree with your assessment of the debate. It is NOT fact that Obama won that debate. What is a fact is that neither he nor Romney won. You can not claim Obama won based on lies he and Crowley told during the debate. Americans are not so gullible on this issue. Americans know full well Obama did not call it a terrorist attack. Instead, Americans know Obama claimed the attacks and murders occurred due to a goofy movie which was completely false.
QUOTE: “Any ideas?”
I’m not sure what you mean by the last question, but I have a response.
If the Military Insider is a trustworthy person, perhaps this is true. However, I find it hard to believe they have the main suspect for this attack in Benghazi. Why? Hell! Obama sat on his duff on this one. Even CNN ended up with Ambassador Steven’s journal before any US forces or the FBI, etc. could place their hands on it.
I haven’t any faith on this intel and you know why? Let me take you down the path of your memory recall… Remember “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”? I have heard so many lies lately pertaining to Benghazi that I do not even trust the military to do what is right!
Sorry. Too much incompetence in DC so the military is now having to take a fall because I don’t believe much by our US government.

Quick update:
The count down time appears to be off, their Twitter feed says it goes public Monday, Oct 22 @ 5:30 EDT.
What??!! Right before The Walking Dead??? It had better be good!!
@WHI,
I respect your expertize and political acumen, but I think you’ve got this one wrong. If it were a 10-round fight I’d score it 6-4, Romney. If you were listening to Obama I’m sure you would have found him, more often than not, actually incoherent in his responses. If he really answered any of the questions put to him I sure didn’t hear it. I think Romney floored him when Romney stated that if Obama’s economic/energy policies were working then the price of gasoline wouldn’t have more than doubled over the last four years. Obama’s response, that the price of gas was low due to the financial crisis at the start of his term, was pure b.s. There have been no deflationary trends over the last four years except for in the housing market. Add to that, as Romney reminded us, the drastic increase in the deficit, increased numbers on food stamps, one in six below the poverty line and Obama is shown to be the failure that he is.
Obama obviously lied, more than once, and appeared to be smirking, disrespectful and aggressive. Who was the dignified, competent one in the debate? Only rabid Obots would say Obama.
There are millions of people like me who voted for a fraud in 2008. Nothing short of nuclear war or an asteroid hitting the earth before Nov. 6th is going to stop the landslide victory that will crush the Dems. You can include the senate in this as well.
I hope Moochelle is ordering drapes for the Hawaii mansion!
tbarrelier
Read this carefully and watch the video. The “audience ” was primed and Obama got the questions before. There were word signals to Obama. This whole debate was a setup
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2012/10/17/cnn-and-the-obama-administration-weapons-of-misdirection/
(BTW this is quite a good website as they dissect the news. Lots of good comments from readers too–JUST LIKE HERE!!! Of course UM’s is better in that he ALWAYS has the scoops!)
Obama heads to the questioners seat…begins to say his name…before he is supposed to know it….Cheater..Candy cheated too.
Kevin Dujan at Hillbuzz thinks Zero was high on coke last night, as opposed to the previous debate.
This is in line with what the WHI saw in Denver in 2008.
Incredible!
Kevin Dujan at Hillbuzz thinks that Zero was high on coke last night, and he was in withdrawal in the last debate.
That would be in line with what the WHI saw in Denver in 2008.
Unbelievable, our pres. high on coke…
I also thought he was high on coke or something last night. His eyes were wide like saucers and sparkly and he at times had a high pitched voice.
Don’t know what he was on, but he was blinking fast and furious. Noticed the soft pitched voice like a whisper when he was about to tell a lie…like he was reading a fairy tale to little children. He’s done that many, many times before. That’s one of his ‘tells’. He still didn’t say anything he hasn’t said before. He’s memorized the same talking points and mediocre memes. However, it was the first time he’s mentioned talking to his national security people on the phone the night the attack happened. He stuck his foot in his mouth on this one and tripped himself up in his own lies.
I’m on the same page as Charlotte again. Obama’s people obviously colluded with Crowley and probably others at CNN to set up Obama’s Benghazi “terror” lie. Watch it a few times and you can see the whole thing was carefully choreographed. Obama telling the despicable lie that he’d used the term specifically regarding Benghazi in his Rose Garden address, then Romney stepping right into the trap by allowing himself to be stunned and caught off-guard by Obama’s brazenness and asking for clarification, then Crowley backing up Obma, Obama just waiting to call her to repeat her contention, and Crowley obliging with the Obama-stacked crowd applauding on cue.
A waltz of deceit.
It’s obvious also that Obama’s team had the questions in advance. Just see how well-rehearsed and canned Obama’s responses were to the questions on Ledbetter, gun-control, and George W Bush. Romney walked right into a well-staged ambush. As if either campaign would normally have spent valuable time in debate prep for these non-issues. Iama was much too quick to jump into these. Also note, there weren’t any of the “uh’s, ahh’s and uhm’s” he mutters when he’s caught up and playing for time.
Also think Conservative Tree House is a great blog. Love the Hillbuzz people too. Dujan’s absolutely right about Obama’s condition. The guy was totally whacked out. The frenzied eyes, the waxy complexion and wooden face, the puffed-out chest and hyper pumped-up demeanor bear it out. I doubt it’s lowly Cocaine though- even a few snorts of the Cartel de Golfo’s finest couldn’t be absolutely counted on to provide a steady stable high for an entire hour and a half. He has access to the most advanced designer stimulants modern medicine has to offer.
When was the last time he released a medical report?
Very funny:”Cartel de Golfo”…
Let’s not forget he gave Fast and Furious guns to the Sinaloa cartel which in turn set up a major distribution hub in Chicago. Furthermore I remember stories about drug money laundered into his campaign by a relative of a big cartel boss.
So, a little coke on the side for the Boss of tutti boses would not be a problem.
Hmmmm… The President won, but the challenger didn’t lose? I instantly received the impression WHI was referring to a tie between the two candidates. I was wrong! WHI went on to say in the article Obama won and that’s a fact. I guess WHI was of the opinion Romney didn’t flub up badly so he didn’t lose. However, I agree with Dick Morris on this debate and here is what Dick stated on his site….
Romney Won The Second Debate
By Dick Morris on October 17, 2012
By scoring big on the economy, gas prices, and Libya, Romney continued his victorious string of debate wins. He looked more presidential than Obama did and showed himself to be an articulate, capable, attractive, compassionate leader with sound ideas.
Obama came over as boorish and Biden-esque. He did not learn from his Vice President’s mistakes. When a president gets into a bar room brawl, he loses his dignity and his aura, key assets for an incumbent. Romney was polite but firm. Obama seemed quarrelsome, frustrated, nasty, and cranky.
But the key reason for the Romney win was substantive:
1. Romney made very clear the case against Obama’s economic record and Obama’s rebuttal about 5 million jobs was pathetic.
2. Romney injected the China issue, big time, and tapped into a strong public sentiment on the issue.
3. Romney made the effective case that Obama is anti-oil, coal, and gas and that this has doubled gas prices.
4. Romney was very effective in differentiating himself from Bush-43 and in establishing that, unlike the GOP of the past, he was for small businesses not big businesses
5. Romney rebutted the attacks on him over Chinese investments.
6. Romney explained his tax plan well and to everyone’s satisfaction.
7. Obama erred in trying to make us believe that he always felt Libya was a terror attack. We all heard him blame the movie.
Obama scored points over the 47% statement by Romney, immigration, and by his response to the accusation that he went to Vegas after the murder of the Ambassador.
But this debate goes to Romney. It seals his momentum and will lead to a big win.

I post Lamecherry…who nails it
This blog was first to expose the reality of Candy Crowley had coordinated with the Obama 2012 election campaign in the second debate over the ANALGATE issue in which she had deliberately prompted Mr. Obama several times in literally lying for Mr. Obama in cutting off Mitt Romney.
There is though a reality in this which is much deeper than this and will be first reported in matter and anti matter exclusive here.
What Candy Crowley was making up for was the Andersen Cooper outing of Obama in the anal dairies of Chris Stevens when CNN was in the US embassy and the FBI was holed up in Tripoli waiting for the Obama cleaners to get rid of all the evidence in the hostage taking episode he had staged against Ambassador Stevens and three others for a grand Obama rescue.
The drunken press at the Obama debate only foreshadowed their boisterous cheering and jeering of Obama asking Mitt Romney about his finances and taxes. The reality is thee entire press corp at the debate had been spying on Romney and feeding David Axelrod intelligence, ever since team Romney had fed false debate information to Obama spies which set up the first Obama implosion.
Barack Obama KNEW what the questions were going to be, because team Obama had so loaded the occupants of that debate with their hand puppets, that thee exact questions were known and Candy Crowley by her performance in giving Obama 9 minutes more time and cutting off Mitt Romney, sealed the bias which should have her, and thee entire press corp fired over this.
Obama was able to fight this to a draw only, only because he had been given all the answers.
The Ambassador Stevens question was a set up. Crowley KNEW of the Obama admission of knowing this was a terror event at the Rose Garden, but you will notice NO ONE IN THE PRESS reported one iota of this, but let it sit knowing Mitt Romney would make an issue of it, and sucker punch Mr. Romney with it.
Obama’s Freudian slip in the “terrorist” event quote was not aimed at Benghazi but all terror events, but as in all things Obama his left brain right brain can never help blurting things out, including he is a Filipino national when speaking to the President of the Philippines.
Obama was in direct contact with these “terror donors” as this was the same group who donated to him in 2008 illegally. Obama has been handing over Muslim nations to these communists and Syria is the lastest 30,000 dead step in this process of paying back that 300 million dollar bribe, you got stuck bailing out in TARP.
Obama’s Libyan terrorists were supposed to just take hostages and be surprised when Obama sent the SEALS in to murder them. Trouble was the same connected groups which murdered TEAM SIX arrived and decided to pay back Obama a bit more, and that is the chatter which intelligence picked up, and is why CIA and DOD have been absent on this.
Obama did his worst to intimidate Christians with this ANALGATE over that Muslim video, for 2 weeks. This is ANALGATE, and now in CANDYGATE, which this blog exclusively exposed first, Candy Crowley with thee entire press corp at that event has been spying on Mitt Romney and assisting Mr. Obama in this set up of Mitt Romney.
This is not just unethical, it is criminal, because 4 Americans were assaulted and murdered in Libya, and Candy Crowley and her press corp literally not only covered up information in this in not turning it over to FBI, but have assisted in subverting an American election in setting up Mitt Romney on these questions.
People go to prison over these types of stolen data from campaigns as Richard Nixon’s people did in the past. This is a matter then not of just people who should be fired, but literally Candy Crowley should be looking at felonies along with this cheering jeering press mob, AND THE OBAMA PLANTS IN THAT AUDIENCE WHO NUMBERED IN THE HUNDREDS, are coup plotters and should be indicted in high crimes against these United States with sentences of 20 years to life.
This is not some small thing which was engaged in, in Debate 2. This was a violation of the RICO Act in an organized criminal conspiracy and Candy Crowley and Barack Obama led it.
It is obvious to all now that Mr. Obama was fed questions and was waiting for the traps to be sprung. It was all staged and the worst of it, is Obama could only work out a draw even while cheating and having thee entire press corp spying for him.
What literally has taken place is a mass murder orchestrated by B. Hussein Obama in the cover up of ANALGATE, and now in the press subversion with Mr. Obama of Debate 2, one has a criminal cover up in what is CANDYGATE.
This can not be condoned in America and it is beyond shameful the powerful and rich gay groups are not defending Chris Stevens and joining in this cover up of mass murder in what is a new criminal charge of CANDYGATE.
That entire cheering press corp was in on this set up of Mitt Romney. They knew Obama was going to make that line, just like the plants in the audience were not paying attention to Obama until the lines they knew were coming for them to cheer and laugh at were delivered.
This was Obama Theater and it was criminal in the regime and their puppy press. This is CANDYGATE and is another by God’s Inspiration matter anti matter exclusive only found here.
If Mike Gallagher’s producer can spot it 12 hours after this blog broke it first at 10:10 pm, October 16th, then you know it is reality my children.
Folks, watch the 2nd debate a second time and you’ll realize Romney actually won it. He won on the important issues considering he was debating against Obama, Crowley and ‘faux’ independents with obvious Democrat leaning questions.
War with Iran. Just keep saying it. Sounds good doesn’t it? World War 3 sounds even better. I’m ecstatic!
