Moderator Candy Crowley talks

After handling Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama last night, the five ladies of The View were easy for CNN’s Candy Crowley. Crowley stopped by the show this morning to discuss the debate. Right away, Barbara Walters asked her about one of the discussion’s buzziest moments, when Mitt Romney was making a point about when the administration labeled the Libya attacks terror attacks, and Obama said it was the day after. Romney disputed this, and Crowley jumped in to agree with the President – you can watch the whole exchange here. Today, Crowley said she understood some people

From Maine to California, from Bangor to Burbank, it was all too clear that Romney was "debating" both Obama and Crowley.. the Democrat Tag Team!

Did The View need a separate couch for Crowley?

Don't forget the stacked audience, #1.
Crowley on 'The View' conjures up a scene of incomparable horror, sorry I missed it.

Why did she have a copy of Obama's Rose Garden comments in front of her? Sounds rehearsed.

#4 Definitely the convenient "transcript" exchange was a setup. What other papers did Crowley have with her?

In a lot of business situations and in legal proceedings it is customary for a third party to disclose information that could show bias or influence in the matter. This should apply in this case.

FWIW, I emailed CNN explaining that I never watch their propaganda and watch CC last night only confirmed to me that my choice to watch news organizations and not CNN's propaganda was correct. Naturally haven't heard a word from them.

"She had a transcript of the President’s Rose Garden remarks in front of her, she said, and that’s why she made her remark."

HAS ANYONE ASKED WHY SHE HAD THIS TRANSCRIPT?

Should the debate council be put on notice that they should INVESTIGATE THIS?

I don't know how many of you caught it, but I was stunned to hear Candy say "sit down, Mr. Romney"! HOW DARE SHE talk to him like that. I hope he NEVER gives her an interview when he becomes president. That was SO disrespectful for a TV commentator to speak to a PRESIDENTIAL nominee in that tone!


Reply 11 - Posted by: southron, 10/17/2012 1:26:26 PM     (No. 8940339)

The best description of Crowley is "Obama's new teleprompter".

Crow-ly had the questions in advance so ofcourse she was ready with her Obama assist.

In the final analysis, looks like Ms. Crowley's frantic mission to pull The Bamster's "chestnuts out of fire" last night was a complete flop. EXHIBIT "A":

If something isn't done about the Presidential Debate Commission, I fully expect to see the hags of "The View" moderating one of the debates!

Oh darn! I missed The View again. How will I ever be able to make such an important decision about the election without knowing what Bwabwa and Whoopie and especially Behar have to say about this. They're all so intelligent don'cha know.

So now she's walking back her walking back.

She was before the truth before she was against the truth.

I join the chorus of posters that are left wondering How did she happen to have THAT particular speech in front of her!

She knew the questions, as a matter of fact I think she selected the questions from a pool of questions, BUT: She must have known the president was going to use THAT SPEECH as his excuse.

This is sickening.

Back on September 28th, Crowley was saying that the Obama administration needed to explain why they didn’t call what happened in Libya a terrorist attack. The CNN transcript tells all:

The question I think too is what you asked and Peter King wouldn’t play, but the idea is why would you be so adamant? When most people look and said, well of course it’s a terrorist attack. I mean, they had you know large weaponry. It’s not something you bring to a protest. And now we’re finding out there might not even have been a protest at the time this attack took place. So I think there are lots of questions to be answered here that the administration is going to have to talk about.

An absolutely despicable performance, that was orchestrated with the President. She had prearranged the signal from him - clearly. Why did she have the transcript at hand? I may be cynical but Barry was ready for every question. I would guess he traded her access to the briefing room, just like Woodward, when he does his October surprise bombing of Libya.

FTA:

She said that while she was wearing an earpiece for the conversation, no one was prompting her about what to say, particularly in that moment.

What??? "Particularly in that moment?" What the hell does THAT mean? She was prompted nonparticualrly in another moment?

So, how long was her View gig scheduled? Proves my point that the debate was all about advancing her career. Get rid of the girl moderators. They are 2 for 2 failure.

Crowley appearing first on The View tells you everything. Did the leftists there hug her and thank her for going after Romney?

I don't read articles about The View.

Interesting to note by the headline, though, that Crowley has to 'make the rounds' so other leftists can applaud her performance as part of the Obama team which debated Mitt Romney. Will Letterman be next? Matthews?
.... This is the Old Media way of 'fixing' their pals' major bloopers. Tim Russert used to be a major 'pardon the jerk' host.

Yes, why did she have the transcript of the Rose Garden speech?

Thanks for directing us to the comments #15. There are only two lefty ones on the front page, and one of them says that he's been tired of fighting Republicans on their complaints of liberal bias but Crowely made their point for them last night. Even an Obama supporter could see beyond his nose (too bad he's still dopey about the actual issues, though).

I was under the impression Candy C. said she would select the questions but the ones asking would not know in advance to her calling on them. Surely I didn't dream this info. Anyway, the first--the college student--Jeremy talked with nbc new york and commented:
"He said on MSNBC that the experience of being the first questioner made him a bit nervous. In the hours before the debate, he said he had "plenty of time to think, 'OK don't mess up, try to speak eloquently. Don't seem nervous. Don't embarrass the family".

Pre-selected, pre-planned questions? Why do I wonder if Candy Crowley was responsible for writing all of these questions with her "team" and then selected people to read her questions? Would explain the Rose Garden transcript.

Of course, Obama went on the View to lie about Benghazi, so why shouldn't Crowley?

The lower the left goes the higher the poll numbers go for Romney. Candy hurt herself not Romney...anyway Candy enjoy the cocktail party circuit.....the won loves you.

CNN Poll: Obama approval
rating unharmed by controversies
Washington Post, by Sean Sullivan    Original Article
Posted By: JoniTx- 5/19/2013 1:15:19 PM     Post Reply
Even as his administration has faced intense scrutiny over a trio of controversies, President Obama’s approval rating hasn’t suffered, according to a new CNN/ORC International poll released Sunday. Fifty-three percent of Americans said they approve of the job the president is doing, while 45 percent said they disapprove. That’s virtually unchanged from an early April survey in which Obama’s approval/disapproval split was 51 percent to 47 percent. The poll is one of the earliest indicators of how Obama’s image has been affected during one of the worst weeks of his presidency.

According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place.

President Obama spoke of the importance of fathers to their sons on Friday after a young man he met at a community center in Baltimore mentioned wanting to provide for his sons. “You know, one of the biggest challenges – I grew up without a father,” Obama said at the Center for Urban Families, which serves fathers and their families. A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors. "The IRS goes AWOL when wealthy and powerful forces want to break the law in order to hide their

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors.

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups.

The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
