Which Obama Debate Gaffe Does Krauthammer Think Might ‘Cost the President Dearly’

Which Obama Debate Gaffe Does Charles Krauthammer Think Might Cost the President Dearly

HEMPSTEAD, NY – OCTOBER 16: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney (L) listens as U.S. President Barack Obama answers a question during a town hall style debate at Hofstra University October 16, 2012 in Hempstead, New York. During the second of three presidential debates, the candidates fielded questions from audience members on a wide variety of issues. (Credit: Getty Images)

While many scored Tuesday night’s contentious presidential debate as a draw, or as a narrow victory for one of the candidates, Washington post columnist Charles Krauthammer thinks President Barack Obama made a gaffe — and a big one. One that will cost him dearly in the final debate on Monday.

In his Thursday column in the Washington Post, Krauthammer predicts this line from the president will come back to haunt him:

“And the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, governor, is offensive.”

“If [Romney] gets it right this time, Obama’s narrow victory in debate No. 2, salvaged by the mock umbrage that anyone could accuse him of misleading on Libya, will cost the president dearly,” Krauthammer writes. “It was a huge gaffe. It is indelibly on the record. It will prove a very expensive expedient.”

Krauthammer blasted Obama for refusing to acknowledge that inaccurate information was repeatedly disseminated by his administration, including himself. With some time to prepare for the final presidential debate, “Romney will be ready” to capitalize on Benghazi in a major way. More from Krauthammer’s column:

No one misled? His U.N. ambassador went on not one but five morning shows to spin a confection that the sacking of the consulate and the murder of four Americans came from a video-motivated demonstration turned ugly: “People gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent and those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons.”

But there was no gathering. There were no people. There was no fray. It was totally quiet outside the facility until terrorists stormed the compound and killed our ambassador and three others.
The video? A complete irrelevance. It was a coordinated, sophisticated terror attack, encouraged, if anything, by Osama bin Laden’s successor, giving orders from Pakistan to avenge the death of a Libyan jihadist.

Not wishing to admit that we had just been attacked by al-Qaeda affiliates, perhaps answering to the successor of a man on whose grave Obama and the Democrats have been dancing for months, the administration relentlessly advanced the mob/video tale to distract from the truth.

  When Obama talks about the Koran he calls it holy , but when he speaks about the Bible he just calls it scripture not the Holy Bible. Only God can make a thing Holy. So it shows his respect of one over the other. He lied saying he is a Christian.

  There is no such thing as an Obama gaffe when you have the “chosen people” controlled Marxist Media protecting him and only focusing on Romney talking about a binder. That’s how weak of ammo the commies have to work with, but they will. Thanks leftist “chosen people” for hijacking our media 100+ years ago.

  The Vegas thing bothered me greatly when I watched it that day. Not only did he go to Vegas to raise money he is smiling and huging as he walks out on stage.
  I ask all of you if it were you on that stage would you or could you smile and hug each person as you walked out.
  As for me I would not have gone but lets say I did, my stern look when I walked out on stage would say it all (No Smiles No Hugs). There would be no doubt how I felt to anyone that was watching.

  Journalists that support the idea of a video in order to attack our first amendment right just as they support fast and furious to attack our second, are not speaking in support of the Constitution, rather their own ideals or agenda. As Citizens of the United States, “We the PEOPLE” have rights, yet unfortunately, we’re apparently allowing our nations government to change the rule of law to: guilty until proven innocent rather than innocent until proven guilty (i.e. …Ruby Ridge, Elian Gonzales, Duke Lacrosse, etc.., even “the police acted stupidly”). Pathetic…? yes!

  Here is my take on the obvious pre debate collaboration between Crowley and Obama. It is easy to see where they lied during the debate. During the speech the president referenced prior instances of terror attacks and that they would not be stood for. He only later in that paragraph refers to the attack in Libya and then refers to it a a terrible act. Not a terrorist attack. He spent the next two weeks blaming it on anything other than terrorism. It becomes all too obvious to see that the debate scenario was anticipated, planned for and rehearsed by Obama and his long time associate Crowley prior to the debate. Consider this, of all things for Crowley to have waiting at the ready in front of her at the Presidential debate, why did she have the Rose Garden transcript on cue? To me it is just too much for coincidence. As a final note, if Obama can stand in front of this country and brag that he “got Bin Laden” then he needs to stand and crow just as loudly that he got Chris Stevens. After all he was much more instrumental in the actions that led to the ambassador’s death than he was in tracking down and killing Bin Laden.

  What was lost on every so-called “expert” pundit in the news, but picked up by those of us within the unwashed masses was the fact that Obama appeared arrogant, aloof, and did NOT “score” the points as described by these media people. Judging on theater rather than substance is the effort of fools.
  
  Obama just wasn’t presidential, and his denials could only be believed by children or the radicals in his base who live in a world all of their own making.
  
  We don’t need pundits to tell us what we can see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears.

  Say what they will, this thing is all but over. Romney will win in a landslide reminiscent of Reagan vs Carter. I find it hilarious that there are over 919,000,000 Google search results for the phrase “President Romney”. The people are coming to terms, even on a subconscious level of Obama’s impending loss. This is why you see Obama and his surrogates becoming increasingly desperate and shrill.

  @HIGHHARD1: Thank you. I thought that I was the only one who picked up the fact that as soon as Romney asked Obama to restate that he had said that it was “a terror attack”, Obama immediately asked Crowley to “read the transcript” and in less than a second, Crowley responded then Obama said “can you say that a little louder, Candy”, at which time Michelle was the FIRST one to begin clapping. In my opinion the entire sequence was rehearsed; there is no other explanation as to why Crowley could have responded so quickly to, aside from being a gross misinterpretation, such an obscure comment from just one of many speeches from Obama following the attack. She didn’t just make a mistake, it was a setup.
  Does anyone know why Romney didn’t insist that at least one debate would be moderated by a journalist from FOX? It seems like blatant stupidity to me. Next up, Bob Schieffer on Monday. We will be having a similar discussion Tuesday morning.

Add that to the fact he whined for the moderator to bail him out(hardly presidential) equals LOOSER in my estimation.

  And I am sure that any truth we do know is only the tip of the ice-berg. For the last year, since Ghaddafi was killed, Libya has been a hot bed of weapons attracting militant groups buying and selling the left behind NATO weapons, along with Momar’s stash. It has been a daily topic on the local news media of neighboring countries in the region, for only about 1 year now! Just think what inside intelligence sources know! Ambassador Stevens was in the middle of that hot bed, and denied repeated requests for increased security. I have no doubt there is a lot still to come out, and someone in Washington has some splainin’ to do! Obama’s arrogant stance and anger is surely rooted in fear of the splainin’ he’s got to do!

Where are all the people from the hood in these dicussion groups. I follow all the different places that have discussions like this and I have never seen them showup. Krauthammer some time’s say’s some great things like this but he also stated that obummer won the debate. I have gone over all the talking points in said debate and I am astonished that he said that. All the things of substance that Rommey brought up that showed obummer for want he has done. Now two day’s later we get all the evidence of his lie’s. this guy was is a loser and I just hope you folks who voted for him the first time can swallow your pride and do the right thing this time. One mistake is forgivable but two isn’t.

  Exactly. Krauthammer only says enough to be considered token conservative, but he has consistently dropped the hammer on conservatives when he gets the chance. Both the Ryan debate and now the second Presidential debate, Fox goes to him first and his declaration is to practically declare wins for both Biden and Obama. Oh, if you *watched* Biden, according to him, he lost. But on *substance,* somehow that lying weasel won. As Limbaugh said, and he was talking about Charlie here, primarily, telling lies aggressively does not equal winning on making your points, or substance, or style. People see a lie for what it is. You’ll note that even the left media always follows what Dr. Krauthammer says. He is not to be trusted.

  I hope you are right. After the totally treasonous, unprincipled way the lying Democrats and their media lapdogs have behaved in foisting an unvetted Communist POSER on the US as POTUS by covering up his radical past and covering FOR his dismal performance as POTUS, they should NEVER be trusted, ever again, and I don’t see how ANY thinking American could EVER vote for aother Democrat.
  
  The Democratic party needs to pass into history, and a new party created to take its place–one that is loyal to the principles upon which this country was founded. The Republicans are certainly far from perfect, and need competition to keep them honest–but these lying, radical America-haters are NOT a viable alternative and we need to make sure they do not EVER again get their bloodstained hands on the reins of power, as they have conclusively proven in the past decade that they can’t be trusted to be loyal to their own country and their fellow Americans..

  The one thing I bring up to my liberal sister-in-law (she is too far gone to bring back to reality) is that “we” in the Tea Party and in the 9-12 project are trying to police our own, the dems have no such group. IF she is serious about disliking corruption, cronyism and waste (like she claims) then she should start something like TEA focused first on getting the skunks out of Washington that are stinking up her party and stop focusing so much on the faults of the other side. If both parties were willing to work on that, can you imagine where we could be in 50 years? We would truely take our government back!

IF they see that what they have been trying to do for so long is about to crash and burn–WHICH it is, They WILL take DESPERATE Measures, because they know if they FAIL, it will be DECADES before they can try again. Expect Martial law to be declared after the elections–IF it makes it until then, IF they feel for SURE Obama will lose, something might start BEFORE the elections.

I am amazed no one else is bringing up that twenty two embassies were under attack on that supposed isolated incident. It was an Islamic uprising to protest on 911. It was A: a religious organization’s attack on our nation, B: Preplanned across several nations, C: An act of war, D: preplanned to the point our own intelligence agencies had warning and our ambassador has asked for extra protection.

Talk about a no brainer slap in the face for this administration.
And it happened the day after Obama bragged that he had wiped out the terrorist threat.

Talk about a Carter re-run, this should be grounded into Obama in a debate. And… given the news article that many democrats have no clue it happened, it is another great talking point on how the media has sheltered the president by not covering that our ambassador was killed, sodomized with a knife and 3other guards killed in a premeditated attack that could have been prevented and was casually buried by Obama and the press in collusion. The last moderator surely demonstrates that last part of the talking point.

  It is wise to note that all the embassies that had these staged riots are countries that are given foreign aid by our tax money. This was coordinated rioting over a fake movie to remove our first amendment rights and advance Islam in the U.S. through the United Nations agenda of the OIC…0′s 57 states of terror.

Romney will be prepared to take the Boy-King out
this coming debate,
This is all about foreign policy, of which this failed prez
knows nothing about.
He’s too busy rearranging his New World Order to give any clear thought
or attention to the real danger of a world gone mad, especially the Middle East.

I hope Romney brings up this creep’s bowing & apology tour-
those despicable images are ingrained in every American’s memory.
We do not forget, he sullied our country’s spirit…on purpose !

He threw cold water on Netanyahu & Israel
while chumming it up with warm whispers to Medved & Russia.
We know what he says when caught off mic,
just imagine what this lying cad says behind the scene ?

He cares nothing about this country or her people.
Anyone who would shove his atrocious ObamaCare down the throats of Americans,
knowing the majority opposed it, is proof enough.
He wants your vote but not your voice,

He has caused more damage by his sheer arrogance,
than any other president.

He can’t change the facts & Romney will come armed with them.
He won’t have to petulantly say, “Please proceed, Governor”
because Romney has enough goods on failed foreign policy
to make him squeal like the pig, he truly is !

Remember what the crowd shouted at the embassy in Egypt: ““We are all Osama,” referring to bin Laden.
Remember that Obama had killed a Lybian al Qaeda leader with a drone strike and al Qaeda called for revenge in the weeks in advance to the attack.

Clearly, Obama doesn’t want people to acknowledge that the attacks were in revenge for killing al qaeda leaders, and that despite his attempts to kill al qaeda leaders (which I support), it hasn’t damaged al Qaeda as much as he wants everyone to believe.

  So then why does he go to the U.N. and say, “The future cannot belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”?
  
  I guess you could say that he is trying to appease the Muslims, but then he should just make up his mind. Killing Bin Lade obviously did not appease the Muslims, but apologizing to them when they kill four of our own might and seeming to stand up for their prophet at the U.N. might, but he can’t have it both ways.
  
  If he coddles Muslims when they kill four of own, then we should be outraged. If he condemns Muslims for killing four Americnas, then they will be further incensed. Obama needs to make up his mind. Either he is going to stand up for the rights of Americans as he has sworn he would do, or he should go somewhere else and defend the Muslim extremists as his reaction to the Libya attack suggests he wants to do.

All Romney had to say to Obama was, “You play politics with security. When Bin Laden was caught you didn’t waste a moment. You could have kept it to yourself and waited until all the information that was found in the Bin Laden compound was sorted out. Perhaps caught fifteen or so more terrorists with that information over a couple months and THEN came out stating that he was caught. What you did was offensive, you didn’t care about the security of America. All you cared about was telling everyone you caught Bin Laden and then calling Hollywood. A huge missed opportunity because of one man’s ego.

  and then of course no time was lost dumping his bullet riddled face and body at sea……I have never seen such a quick burial….that burial was performed even quicker than Timothy McVeighs death sentence. Apparently the country can do some things quicker than others….like NOT approve the Canadian pipeline for example.

There probably isn’t anything this guy could say or do that would keep a significant number of liberals from voting for him. This is a fact that we must burn deeply into our minds from this point on into the coming years.

We all know the question is not whether he tried to link the attack to the movie, but why? Muslim leaders have tried to use the video as a way of attacking American’s right to freedom of speech. Our freedom of speech causes riots–they say. Really? Who rioted? The Muslims are using this as they have before (see link below) to discourage people from talking bad about the Islam faith.

Let’s remember who rioted. They kill four people in the name of their religion and we’re not supposed to question it? We’re not supposed to say that killing in the name of Islam is a bad thing. This only proves that their are violent factions in Islam and that Muslims do have an agenda to subjugate the world to Islam.

So why then does Obama purposely link the attack to the videow? Why does he apologize for the video? Why does he go to the U.N. after Muslim leaders have plead to the U.N for stricter sanctions against those who speak out against Muslims and say, “the future cannot belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”? It might be a drastic charge, but doesn’t it look like our president participated in the attempt to use the outrage over the killings of our ambassador as a means of attacking our freedom of speech? We all saw how he behaved. We all saw him and his “team” persistently cling to their story. Now, it is up to us not to let him get away with it by trying to quietly sweep it under the rug.

  Guayancano – I agree with you 100%. They took a crisis and tried to make it fit their agenda. “Never let a crisis go to waste” if I’ve ever seen it. And you’re also right in that we have to remember how dangerous it is when we have a president trying to hinder our freedom of speech! That could be the scariest part of the whole scandal.

  What I’m going to say has nothing to do with the debate but with Obama’s arrogance.
  I just watched Mitt Romney’s and Barack Obama’s speeches at the Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, and while Romney thanked cardinal Timothy Dolan (host of the dinner), and mention several times the work of the Catholic Church helping the needy through the Foundation, Obama didn’t bother to mention neither Dolan nor the Catholic church and its work. Well, to be fair, only once mention the church when he was a couple of words from finishing his speech.
  Smith Foundation was founded back in 1946 by then cardinal Francis Spellman.

this isn’t as alarming as Obama’s admission he will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban, or how he continues to take us down the same road as the USSR, Chinese Communists, Fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany. But since most Obamazombies are too ignorant to know about Benghazi, or anything else of significance other than how “dey gettun dey Obama stash”, they best point to get convince the undecided or swayable is to continue to remind them that the “rent is too da*n high” and gas is near $4.00, which isn’t Bush’s fault.

  This administration and it’s agenda is built on lies and deceit in order to destroy the American Dream.
  
  If people do not realize the very existence of a free Republic on this planet is at stake this November.
  
  Once the US is made a socialist, government nanny state, freedom as we have known it will be gone forever,.
  
  I would rather take my chances with the capitalist that employ me than a government of tyranny that will enslave me.
  
  We need jobs and inexpensive energy, not rules, quotas, restrictions and bureacratic agencies limiting our ability to provide for our families.
  
  And we most assuredly don’t need the government in our homes, automobiles and airports harassing us like common criminals. They need to focus on national security at the border and abroad.

  All this is is Iran suckering us in with the hope to help the candidate they believe will let them carry through with their nuclear program.
  
  That candidate is Obama and a pseudo oil branch is nothing but a lure to a desperate Obama to accept anything to resurrect his campaign
  
  The Iranians will not honor a stoppage… this is an attempt to re – elect Obama because they know Romney stands with Israel.
  
  We have a sworn enemy attempting to re-elect Obama and Obama and the leftist media will be all to happy to “play” along.

  Krauthammer started his *illustrious* career as a speechwriter for Walter Mondale… That should tell you everything you need to know about this poser conservative. And he’s a doctor of … psychiatry… Which he started his psychiatric career out serving under the Carter administration before graduating to speechwriter status…
  
  That is why he states things that hurt conservatives in one breath, and which the left follows like lapdogs (Obama won the debate … on substance…), while stating something that bolsters them in the next breath (this gaffe will cost the President dearly…).
