The fact that Romney made a statement first is why they decided to blame the Youtube Video, to turn Mitt’s factual statement into a “gaffe”.
Seriously, I actually believe that.
Then they were stuck with it for 2 weeks. It also covered up their lack of action, which they hoped would clear them until the election.
All my opinion, of course.
Seriously, I actually believe that.
Perhaps, you're correct. With this crowd, who knows?
However, your statement evokes a question I've been asking myself for a week-or-so.
How did the Obama Administration even come to be aware of the existence of the You Tube video -- "Innocence of Muslims"???!!!
To describe the video as "obscure" is an understatement. At the time the Administration rolled the video out as an excuse for the embassy protests in the Middle East, the video had recorded either 113 or 856 views, as I understand it. Further, it had been up on the web for at least two months.
How in hell did Obama and Hillary even know that the damned thing existed? And that it was provocative enough to conceivably inflame the Middle East? Who alerted them to its existence? And why?
And what inspired the Administration to employ this obscure piece of Pallywood propaganda as a semi-plausible excuse?
No one mentions that Zero and Clinton both went on TV over there repeatedly offering apologies for the video - on the taxpayers dime.
