Very. Well. Stated.

Thanks.

You know what is funny--now it's come out that Crowley argued with Axelrod a week or so ago over whether Obama called the Libya attack an act or terror in the Rose Garden. So Crowley knew that Obama didn't call it an act of terror before she knew that he did!

What's really funny is that anyone with the reading comprehension skills of a chimp can see that Obama was placing Chris Stevens' death in the same category as 9/11 as ACTS OF TERROR. Unfortunately, your cranium is so stuffed full of FAUX News and Breitbart nonsense that no real information can gain access.

actually you guys are so busy trying to cover for a stupid ass prez who farted around for weeks saying it was a utube vid when everyone knew it wasnt.

you can try and cover up the lies, but people see. spin on commie

See, that's the thing. The story of a utube video inspired riot outside the consulate was wrong, and the administration did continue to include it in their narrative for far too long. That cannot be disputed and is a legitimate basis for attack on the President.

But the wingnuts can't just take that as a win. No, they have to push the myth that Obama has refused to acknowledge that the incident was an act of terror, when he clearly did. The myth is a product of the rightwing echo chamber, and Willard clearly bought it hook, line, and sinker. And, in the process, he received a smackdown on what should've been the worst question of the night for Obama. That's sometimes what happens when you believe your own bullshit.

Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe. 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 | September 12, 2012

“So what I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice. 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.” - Obama | September 13, 2012

Your vapid rightwing talking points evaporate when exposed to reality.

" . . . . trying to help Obama" is your opinion which does not equate to a fact.

People died because of inadequate security, People died because this administration failed to realize the potential threat in a country known for terrorism. What the president said, when it was said, whether it was terrorism or a video is petty and irrelevant when compared to the deaths of an American ambassador, 3 of his staff and the fact that this administration failed to provide adequate security.
