It has taken me - and everybody else - more than a few minutes to figure out that a key portion of last week's debate between obama and Gov. Romney was rigged. It seems incredible to even suggest such a thing, and maybe that is what kept me from seeing what, in retrospect, seems very very obvious.
You will recall that so much of the post debate talk was about the exchange between the Governor, obama and crowley about obama's failure to characterize the attack that killed the American Ambassador and three other US citizens as a planned Terrorist Attack. obama tried to say that he had called it an act of terror the first time he spoke publicly about the incident. That was in the Rose Garden one day after it occurred. Romney, on his turn to speak, turned to obama and said "Really? You called it a terrorist attack in the Rose Garden the first day? Really?"
obama was ready. It didn't catch me as to how ready he was until hearing the tape of the exchange for about the fifth time yesterday. He shot back to Gov. Romney's statement, "get the transcript!" The reason that statement didn't slap me in the face right away was because I thought he was referring to a running transcript of the debate. I did not know at that moment that he was referring to a transcript of the Rose Garden media opportunity from two weeks prior. But crowley did know. She stated immediately. "I have that."
And therein lies the rub. Why, among all the hundreds of things Ms. Crowley could have had at her disposal, was the transcript of the Rose Garden tet -a-tet laying on the desk next to her? It could not have been a coincidence. She did not have a transcript of any other obama talk on the subject. She did not have a transcript of any of the Governor's speeches or talks. But she had that one transcript, the very same one now being called for by obama.
How stupid of me? She had the transcript because somebody from the obama campaign told her to have it. Somebody with a bit of foresight and with the knowledge that the regime and campaign were going to try to tell America that a general referral to all terrorism was, in fact, a direct reference to this act of terror knew that they might just be able to pull it off if the "moderator" had a supposed transcript and would state immediately that "yes he did call it an act of terrorism." Sure, the GOP and others with a sense of fair play would argue that it was just a general referral and that it took the White House the better part of two weeks to back away from the concocted tale that the fatal attack morphed out of a spontaneous protest about a film some American guy made about the prophet. But by then millions of Americans would hear obama and the "moderator" say that obama had it right all along and that all this talk about a coverup was just another example of right wing over-the-top extremism.
Give them credit, if only the kind of credit you give a bank robber with a foolproof plan. With a perfectly straight face crowley tried to say - later, of course - that Gov. Romney had it right all along. Nobody, by comparison with the number of Americans tuned in to the debate, heard that "correction" by the uber-left Crowley. More than a few morons now believe that obama has been right all along in calling the incident a pre-planned terror attack.
Crowley has tried to say that she made the decision to order the transcript of the rose garden chat because the whole libya thing has been in the news. Sure. I believe that. I believe that of all the things said about libya by hundreds of persons over the last two weeks, she just happened to order a transcript of the president on day one. She doesn't say why she chose to get a transcript of that statement out of the thousands of things she could have taken with her to the obama chair, er, ah, moderator's chair, she picked that. And it was all strictly a coincidence that obama asked her for that transcript when the Gov. made his point about the coverup. It was a coincidence that there was a transcript of the one time during those two weeks that the word "terror" crossed obama's lips and she was right ready for him. He asked for something out of the blue. She had it.
You know they wanted to move forward without actually reading from the statement. They wanted Gov. Romney to back down without having the transcript read. But they were ready even for that. With such an ambiguous reference to terror in that transcript, both crowley and obama were ready with their interpretation. Even though it sounded general, if you put it in context with his remarks, it was actually quite specific. Baloney. The context made it more general, but then they didn't have a transcript of the context, did they?
And still I'm shaking my head. How brazen! How low-brow! The president of the United States and a "respected" "journalist." getting together for a stunt like that during a presidential debate. I know obama is desperate. Defeat in this upcoming election seems like the end of the world to a man with such an overflowing and over-the-top amount of narcissism, arrogance and self-aggrandizement. He is apparently willing to try just about anything to get his four more years.
If you are one of the truly dense folk who cannot decide if obama deserves four more years, perhaps this incident will help you. But to be honest, I'm not counting on it. One scary thought that is becoming very clear is that obama knows that no matter what he does he won't be impeached. Do you think if Bush tried the same coverup that obama and functionaries are carrying out someone wouldn't be talking impeachment? I don't think it would be someone. I think it would be a rush to the impeachment procedures book. The scary thought? If obama can get caught in this coverup without consequence, what might he try in the second term, God Forbid?
