Spin it how you wish, but in the context of the debate, Obama clearly won that exchange.
After Mrs. Moderator had to help him.
After Romney insisted on pushing the assertion that Obama didn't refer to the attack as terrorism. He marched right up to the moderator and basically demanded that she affirm his claim. So, she corrected him. What choice did she have?

Oh please, the games you people have to play for your Dear Leader..

Only if you believe Obama lie about what he said in the Rose Garden.
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America.
Obama first sentence was a clear reference to the attack on 9-11-2001. The second highlighted Obama sentence was a clear reference to Libya and no mention of any teorrist act is there.

Uh, no, it wasn't. He could have been referring to 9/11/01, but that statement was in no way is a clear reference to that day.

How can an "exchange" be clearly won, clearly premised with a failure?
The exchange was clearly won by Obama because he clarified the escense of the matter by telling Romney that to politicize the deaths of four people he was responsible for was offensive....which it is. Your continuation of that politicization is the offense he was refering to.
The facts of the event were made more clear as the two weeks unfolded. There is nothing odd about associating the atttack at Bengazi with the riots all through North Africa immediately previous to that terrorist attack. It took a few days to sort it out. That's just the way things unfold sometimes. To act like Obama was negligent is outrageous.
The bad guys were the terrorists that took advantage of the confusion of the riots to perpetrate their plan. Blaming Obama for this attack is sick. He said he will keep after these terrorists and make them pay. End of story. That is unless YOU support the terrorists because you think it gives you something to blame on Obama.

UPDATE 2: Obama also referred to the Benghazi attack as an "act of terror" while campaigning in Colorado on September 13:
"Let me say at the outset that obviously our hearts are heavy this week -- we had a tough day a couple of days ago, for four Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Libya. Yesterday I had a chance to go over to the State Department to talk to friends and colleagues of those who were killed. And these were Americans who, like so many others, both in uniform and civilians, who serve in difficult and dangerous places all around the world to advance the interests and the values that we hold dear as Americans. And a lot of times their work goes unheralded, doesn't get a lot of attention, but it is vitally important. We enjoy our security and our liberty because of the sacrifices that they make. And they do an outstanding job every single day without a lot of fanfare. So what I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice. (Applause.) I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished. It will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America.[/SIZE][/B]

Great. A bunch of tweets. That proves Romney right

If true why did he say 'Today we mourn four more Americans'? Who was he referring to when he said 'four more' if not the attack in 2001?
The pathetic righwingnut retards are always grasping at straws but this bit of reality denial takes the cake. Did Obama label the attack on our consulate in Benghazi an "act of terror" as Romoney and the rightwing echo chamber of retards wants to deny? Yes, he did, on two occasions, on Sept 11th and Sept 13th, as the transcripts prove. Was the government also still investigating the attack and trying to determine if this attack was in some way connected to the widespread rioting and demonstrations over the offensive anti-Muslim video that had been occurring all over the region. Well of course they were. Only idiots jump to conclusions without checking. There were several initial reports out of Benghazi that said that gunmen attacked during a demonstration over the video. Check the BBC reports on the incident published on Sept 12th, 13th and 14th that talk about US officials already suspecting that terrorist groups were involved and Libyan officials saying that the attack happened during "an anti-US protest".
Libya attack: Obama vows justice for killed US envoy.

(excerpts)
President Barack Obama has vowed to bring to justice those who carried out the attack that killed the US ambassador to Libya. Ambassador J Christopher Stevens died after gunmen stormed the consulate amid protests over an anti-Islamic film. US officials said Washington was investigating whether the attack was organised in advance, rather than a spontaneous assault sparked by demonstrations over the film. Officials told Reuters there were suspicions that a militia known as the Ansar al-Sharia brigade was involved in the attack. The group has denied the claim. They also cited reports suggesting al-Qaeda's north Africa-based affiliate, known as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, may have been involved, the news agency reports. The protests followed rallies in Cairo, where demonstrators angry at the film, called Innocence of Muslims, breached the walls of the US embassy and tore down the flag.
Libya attack: US to investigate Benghazi assault
BBC

(excerpts)
The US is investigating whether the attack in Libya that killed the US ambassador and several other people was planned in advance, officials say. The assault had earlier been thought to have been a spontaneous reaction to protests over an anti-Islamic film. Armed men stormed the consulate in the city of Benghazi on Tuesday night. Officials have now said the attack was complex and professional, and reports suggest the perpetrators may have had links to jihadist groups. A senior US official quoted by AFP news agency said the Benghazi attackers appeared to have used the demonstrations as a pretext to staging an assault. "This was a complex attack," he told the news agency. "They seemed to have used this [protest] as an opportunity." US officials told Reuters news agency there were suspicions that a militia known as the Ansar al-Sharia brigade was responsible, although the group has denied the claim. They said there were also reports that al-Qaeda's north Africa-based affiliate, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, may have been involved, the news agency reports.
