I believe he was responding with we as in the Administration leadership. From what I've read the funding denials were at a deputy Sec State level and never reached the top.
I also believe that your second statement isn't accurate. Obama wasn't specifically talking about the Libyan embassy attack, he was talking about Islamic protests in general as part of the ongoing political transformations.

“I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal rights a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance,” Obama said. “But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam. The one part of society that hasn't been controlled completely by the government. There are strains of extremism, and anti-Americanism, and anti-Western sentiment.”
