And now he expects Bob Schieffer to "give the questions ahead of time to Obama, too."

(21,925 posts)Flushed Shitball thinks Obama and Crowley were in cahoots on the "terrorist act" controversy and that Obama pointed at her to signal her to nail Romney and that she conveniently had the Rose Garden transcript. First, I don't remember Obama pointing at her before she spoke up, and I don't remember that she said she had the transcript with her at the debate. And how could she have known ahead of time that Romney would fall into this conspired trap since Romney was the one who brought up the issue in the first place?

(15,242 posts)That is why Obama asked her to repeat it Obama could barely hear her comment. Since the moderator had a direct mike audio feed those of watching clearly heard it. Add that Romney was angry and trying to get in Crowley's face she reacted in what sounded to me as mild anger then made something of a concession to Romney. Romney came off to me as a charging bully.
The whole exchange was too well played to be scripted. The Romney campaign had been making this charge for several days there is good chance Obama knew what was coming. Who knows Crowley may also have known. If they pulled this off as a planned effort both Obama and Crowley deserve an Emmy.
