Did she actually "do a fact check" then and there, or was she so spot-on on the subject that she knew what the President said cold? Either way, Candy sizzles.

That's what she said on The View anyway...

(7,113 posts)She said she boned up on all the events surrounding the Libya attacks, in anticipation of the question about it.

(27,787 posts)Everyone knew that Romney was going to try to use 4 dead Americans to gain a couple points. Obama was ready. He took responsibility, and addressed Romney directly.
I think Obama set a trap. He knew Romney would not know the details, and probably hoped Romney would pounce.
