It was because Romney challenged her more and talked over her more then Obama did.
Er, yes, that was when the Benghazi attack happened, so we’re not talking about two utterly disconnected realities.
The best part would be Biden running into the ring with a folding chair.
I kind of thought that Obama might have pulled punches in the first debate to keep SuperPAC money with Romney and prevent it from going to down ticket races instead.
Is the whole freakin’ debate going to boil down to the Libya terrorist remark???
Well, I guess we know what the right-wing spin is going to be. It didn’t even take until tomorrow.
He learned from Gingrich that attacking the moderator plays well.
When will Republican politicians ever learn to take responsibility for their lives?
Cool new slogan:

Misery and hardship. Seriously, don’t bother.
Here is the transcipt of Obama’s comments on SEptember 12:
In context he is clearly referring to the attack as one of a set of “acts of terror.”
Because they are Americans!
Please proceed adaher…
Yeah, reading that transcript it’s pretty obviously referring to both events, and to terrorist acts generally. I don’t get how someone can read it any other way. (I also don’t see what the importance of that specific wording is.)
Clear winner tonight: Candy Crowley’s hairdo.
Ah, finally found a complete transcript, courtesy of the Washington Post. Here are the President’s last remarks, which were also the last word of the debate:
CNN has it at Obama 46% to 39% Romney. That’s a win, but just barely.
Well, 53% of them do.
CNN poll of registered voters: 46% Obama, 39% Romney.
73% say Obama did better than expected, vs. 37% who say Romney did better than expected.
Poll sample: 33% Democrat, 33% Republican, 34% other.
To begin the debate, she clearly stated that the crowd should not clap or boo. After Obama gave his line about calling Libya a terrorist attack directly after the incident and Romney was going to call him out on it, she interjected, running to Obama’s defense (btw, he did lie as the original story was that it was a spontaneous attack spurred by the anti-Islamic video), after which the crowd starting clapping her.
That actually pissed me off, quite honestly.
It was great video. It’ll be viral within the hour. The President presented Romney with a pile of dog shit on the floor and invited him to step in it, which Romney promptly did.
You had to watch the whole Denver debate to understand why Obama lost it. This is a 20 second soundbite that will be on every news show for a few days.
Mitt’s Assault Weapon flip-flop has been so well-documented that he really should just be a man and OWN UP TO IT. Also most American don’t give a rat’s ass about the Fast and Furious scandal. Gun violence, particularly urban shootings and mass killings are a huge issue for the US of A.
Anyway, Romney’s pandering is disgusting. I have never seen any politician as disingenuous and slippery as he his.
I would respect the man a lot more if he just held true to his own convictions, not that that would change my vote.
Idiot.
