"opportunities" to be taken "advantage of" by Romney. You can FEEL how much he'd LOVE to have a crisis and this explains how giddy he was over Benghazi a few months later.

"Score! This is my big opportunity!!"

Yet he's been trying to make an issue of this since it happened... I get it, he was desperate at the time.

This is why next week's debate has the Republicans scared, they know he's on bad footing and it's the last time the two will be next to each other. Laura Ingraham was crying about this after the 2nd debate.

Obama also gets to put on his Commander in Chief uniform and he'll be practicing against Kerry, someone 5x as fluent in foreign policy as both Obama and Romney combined so he'll be very well prepared come Monday.

Rmoney eats standing up?

I hope this gets some legs. Ironic that Carter's grandkid taped this since his grandfather was duped by Bush over the hostage situation.
