Deputy Sec level decisions made on the request of an embassy in an Islamic hotbed of terrorism and violence like lYbia because of budget restraints??? You acxtually believe that? That request went instantly to his national security advisors then to him. He and his admistration denied additional security because he didn't want to ruffle the feathers of his Islamic "friends" and risk bad press before the election. . Now they are denying all knowledge of the increased security request because if they don't they are political dead meat. That kind of decision made at a dep sec level??? Open your eyes! Everything he does and says now is about getting reelected. Lying is a way of life for this administration right now because they are teatering on the brink of total collapse. I hope Romney pounds on that whole wasp nest of lies next Tuesday. Obama is now in a house of cards with lies as its foundation and if Romney pounds on it I think its ready to crumble and come tumbling down.

You're missing the point.

His remark was a response to this question:

KROFT: Have recent events in the Middle East given you any pause about your support for the governments that have come to power following the Arab Spring?

He's not glossing over the embassy attack, he's speaking in context of the much larger trend that's shaping the reason.
