Why Romney Screwed Up the Libya QuestionMitt Romney tried to catch the president of the United States in a lie last night and ended up kicking himself in the pants.
Sparring with Obama over Libya, Romney said that "it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror." In fact Obama had referred to the attack as "an act of terror" in a speech in the Rose Garden the day after four Americans were killed at the US consulate in Benghazi. Moderator Candy Crowley ended up fact-checking Romney in real-time, to applause from the audience, as Romney himself looked on in disbelief.

OP
Cons are praying that people die, so they can blame it on the President. That's how they think.

I would like to point out that everyone is at risk of the info bubble. I truly believe the left is more open to challenging our own beliefs but are at risk too.
