Spence, for 2 weeks, Obama (and Jay Carney, and Ambassador Rice) were calling it a spontaneous protest that got ugly. 24 hours after the attack, the intelligence reports sais there was no protest at the embassy prior to the attack.

There was nothing spontaneous about it. People don't just happen to have mortatrs, mortar tubes, and RPGs in their backpacks.

Spence, when Obama spoke at the UN, and when Rice was on teh Sunday talk shows, everyone on the planet knew this was a terror attacks.

My guess...Obama claimed otherwise, because he knows that given the requests for extra security that were rejected, Obama doesn't want to appear as though his administration's mistakes cost 4 suoerb americans their lives.

I don't believe for one second that Ambassador Rice believed what she was saying, nordo I believe for a second Obama believed what he said at the UN or on Letterman. Everyone on this planet knows what took place.

I'm sorry your man-crush shot himself in the d*ck on a foreign policy issue, just before the foreign policy debate. If Obama had come clean immediately, this is a minor story. The only thing keeping this story on the front page, is the fact that Obama/Rice/Carney were saying things that they had to know weren't true.

Spin it any way you want to make Obamna look like a hero. But he blew this as bad as Bush blew the response to Hurricane Katrina. It could well cost him the election, if Romney plays his cards right on Monday.

I think Obama knows that the rejection for extra security very likely cost American lives. His desire to not look like na incompetent buffoon, led him to say things that make him look like a moron.

Spence, your man-love is so desperately out of ideas, he's saying Romney has "Romnesia" (ha-ha, that's rich). That's about the least dignified thing I've ever heard a President say. A man's true colors are revealed in how he conducts himself in stressful situations...and Obama has chosen name-calling. If that's 'hope and change', you can keep it. I prefer an adult as my commander in chief.

Jim, do you seriously think...for one second...that a heavily armed Islamist militia located in the same town as the American consulate wouldn't likely have already have thought about how to attack the compound or that they couldn't mobilize in a short period of time?
