Yesterday, Barack Obama tried to shrug off another of the burgeoning scandals in Washington during a joint press conference with UK PM David Cameron. Allowing the US press just one question, Obama called on the AP’s Julie Pace, and probably regretted doing so almost immediately. (It could have been worse; had it been later in the day, she probably would have asked him why he wanted to look at her phone records.) Pace managed to offer a multi-tiered question, one portion of which asked Obama why the post-Benghazi talking points got massaged so heavily as to remove any hint that the consulate had been attacked by terrorists.
Obama responded by falling back on the myth of his own making:
“The day after it happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism.”
Glenn Kessler objects, giving the statement four Pinocchios in the Washington Post today. The Rose Garden speech, Kessler reports — again — addressed terrorism in general, not the Benghazi attack. Over the next several days, Obama had three opportunities to call it a terrorist attack, but declined to do so.
For instance, here’s Obama with Steve Kroft on September 12th being asked the very question:

fyi
bump to the top
These shrugs worked the first couple of years. I’d say that he’s reached maximum shrug capability now. The 2014 elections now look pretty dismal if you look at the ad potential here. If I were a democrat out in the heartland and hoping to put up a successful election....things just got a lot tougher, and it’s probably not worth the effort of running for anything much in 2014. Skip the election and hope that all is forgotten by 2016.
Our great Emperor Zero, knew the day after the attack that this was a horrendous act of terrorism committed by Islamic terrorist against the US.
Yet he then went to the UN and stated the future does not belong to those that insult Islam.
So Obama was endorsing the terrorist attack against the US ?
Why not? He provided the weapons and money to the attackers.
‘_______the future does not belong to those that insult Islam.’
Oh that’s right - Islam has a right not to be insulted/offended. Or else - - - -
Islam - a political ideology with a religious component.
The scourge of our lifetime - any lifetime, really.
Here’s an interesting blog regarding Hillary.
Earlier on Drudge there was a Curl: CIA- another shoe to drop. Did it drop? I no longer see it on Drudge..
Well,...that’s one way to get there.
Not sure of the details,...spmeone said Patraes might have something to say,...which would make it 2 more shoes to drop.
Thank you...didn’t know if I missed it.
Indeed he was and the last dot just fell into place. Going to give it its own thread later today.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Very funny and very sad. All at the same time.
“The day after it happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism.”
LOL...as if the focus on the Youtube video, the subsequent persecution and arrest of it's creator and the administration's nose-browning praise of islam didn't happen.
He provided the weapons and money to the attackers.
Very funny and very sad. All at the same time.
Can we please impeach, convict, arrest, and imprison this traitor to our country???? And try and convict all his evil cohorts like Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Hillary, etc etc etc
Please Republicans, be courageous and honorable and fight the good fight... Please? Both media and public opinion may be turning - let’s use this time wisely to CLEAN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
