But then came a substantive question, to which Obama had no answer:

POLITICO: Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?

OBAMA: (Silence. Kept walking.)

Obamas campaign now says obama is responsible.

from weasel zippers...Psaki denied that Clinton’s remarks were a “coordinated roll-out” to shelter Obama ahead of the debate, as Fox’s Shepard Smith suggested.

Rather, it was Hil's strategy (after consulting with Billl and legal team) to force Obama into some kind of statement. Hillary says "My responsibility". This leaves O hanging out there, looking like he's evading responsibility.

Of course, now he HAS to.

It will come up in the debate, and he will say, I am the Commander in Chief. I take responsibility. I am very sorry for these deaths. We have taken steps. . . . blah blah blah.

And remember, she only takes responsibility for the security, or lack thereof. She's not taking responsibility for the video spin afterwards. Even though she repeated the story and spread the word about it throughout the middle east with tv ads, inciting more violence.

His problem is clinging to the video story...even as he attended the funeral. Even as he spoke to the UN.

Because the Arab Spring, the death of Obama, the defeat of terrorism made Obama SO fabulous.

ESPECIALLY as he spoke to the UN, apologizing for our freedom of speech.

You know, I can understand if during a crisis, the Chief Executive does not tell the public the entire truth about a situation. It's called National Security. In that case, just say "We have no comment at this time." But this, this is outright lying, and totally unacceptable. And by the way, isn't the maker of the video STILL in jail?

It's looking like they took the blame and first Stretched it out to confuse the issues, moved to Slice each of the issues apart, and then Spread among many so that each were Sharing smaller bites.

Beware of misspelling "Osama". Very easy to do, but I wouldn't want you to get a visit from the Secret Service.

Report: Rule Change Allows Candy Crowley To Steal Debate Spotlight

Fox News is reporting that Candy Crowley's desperate need to marginalize everyday American voters and steal the spotlight for herself during tonight's debate has just been formalized. Altering the original agreement with the debate commission, and under intense media pressure, both Obama and Romney have agreed to answer any questions asked by Ms. Crowley and her over-sized ego.

Regardless of whether the Fox News report pans out or not, Crowley's behavior these past few days has only served to reinforce every negative thing anyone has ever said about the corrupt media. Crowley's narcissistic preening before her media pals as she promises to insert herself into the debate and violate her contract, has been distasteful in the extreme.

Never before has a presidential debate moderator worked so hard to grab the spotlight and not let go. Crowley not only believes she's above things like her contract (her word); she also believes she's more important than the American people.

What we were supposed to get tonight -- what we've been promised -- is an unfiltered interaction between two presidential candidates and a group of everyday American citizens. Voters ask the questions, the candidates answer the questions, and we try to get to as many of these questions as we possibly can.

But Crowley's obviously of the opinion that her questions and what she has to say is more important than all of this. For days now, she's been puffing herself up as the Keeper Of All Things Noble And Pure About Journalism -- which apparently means shoving aside those stupid voters in order to make her personal mark on the debate. This is nothing more than a pathetic move to grab more attention for herself, and this behavior has even extended to today.

Bottom line: When a moderator works this hard to become part of the story, something is terribly, terribly wrong.

Barry: "we built 5 million jobs"

Part-time and lower paying.
Dipstick back on his green market.
Then says savings from wars stopped will be spent, but that is borrowed money, so he is saying spending will not slow down.

I just can't stand watching Obama any more. His voice is shrill. The strategy ois to keep saying Romney is a liar. Sad.

"What Gov. Romney said simply isn't true." Talking about taking GM through bankrupcy.

Crowley won't let Romney rebut.
