And you know what? That's often the right call, especially in an emerging situation where you don't know everything.

I'm sure that making those decisions on the fly, is very difficult. And I don't expect Obama to be perfect, because Bush certainly was flawed. However, what I do expect (because this is what Obama promised) is to be told the truth. That's not what happened in this case. The administration clearly lied when they were still blaming the youtube video several days later. Worse, that video was made by a US citizen! How would you like to be that guy? Obama is blaming him for the attack, which he had nothing to do with?

I guess that's hope and change. When Obama gets caught with his pants down, instead of admitting it like an adult, he throws an innocent American citizen under the bus. Obama took an oath to serve all of us, even that guy who made the video.

Unfreakinbelievable.

Well, thanks to the hard work at the Weekly Standard they've done some investigation on that.

The released information from the CIA's Office of Counter Terrorism shows that the connection to the video came from the CIA and not from the Administration.

Well, in the link that I provided, several democrats on the house intelligence committee, said that the administration was playing the youtube video card, long after there was overwhelming evidence that the attack had nothing to do with a video.

Oh, and your hero Bill Ayers gave a speech at some violent lefty gathering, where he called John McCain a murderer. I'm glad he is molding the minds of our future teachers, that's just awesome.

For the viewers here the "violent lefty gathering" was the commemoration of the Kent State shootings. His remark about McCain should be taken in context, McCain tried to exploit the reporting of an Obama/Ayers relationship for political advantage during the 2008 election. Given Ayers known beliefs about the War you can't think this wasn't a targeted jab.

I'd also note that Ayers doesn't sound much like a Mao worshiping socialist as much as an anti-Vietnam activist given previous discussions. Just sayin...
