I'm a moderate so let me explain from a more neutral point of view.

Just as an observer I don't see Obama as much an intentional liar in this case, as a big time spinner. He did say the word "terror" in the speech but was speaking in general terms rather than specific on this event. I think Romney knew this as well, and that explains the way he seemed taken aback with what Obama said at the debate about it. Maybe they would have hashed it out, until the moderator Candy had to open her mouth in haste and end it by making a misstatement. Major mistake on her part IMO.

Just what does "no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation" mean, if it wasn't referring to the actions that just took place--you know--the attacks that he was giving the speech about at that very moment. Talk about spin--you nuts are getting desperate.

Why was he in the Rose Garden again? Press conferences usually revolve around a specific event.

Why for days afterward were we still hearing about a video and not being told that it was definitely terrorism?

What again did Obama say while speaking in front of the UN?

He stood up for the first amendment rights of a people who created a video, while blaming the video for the riots.

Exactly!

And went on several media outlets and continued to blame the video. All the while still campaigning and hacking it up in Vegas as if we were not under attack. Pathetic.

Crowley did a great job. Romney was bullying her all night because he has no respect for women and that is how he treats them. She showed a great deal of restraint with him.

He didn't say he wanted her fired because of her political affiliation.

He wants her fired because of the way she handled the debate.

See the difference?
