Just occurred to me.. Did 0bama downplay this by describing it as a ‘protest over a video’ so he could cover his bad move of flying off to Vegas to campaign the following morning? In other words, if he said ‘terrorist attack’ then flying off to Vegas wouldn’t be forgiven. If he says ‘protest’ then it’s okay to fly to Vegas or afterwards it WAS okay to fly to Vegas. Perhaps NOTHING was going to stop the Vegas trip and he needed to portray that he thought it was a protest over a video to justify making that trip. Sick.
Unfortuantely with a complicit news media it did not much matter. He got away with it. It blows my mind that Romney was somehow made the bad guy here. He got some bad advice early on and then some more bad advice before the second and third debates. Obama should give Candy Crowley the Presidential Medal of Freedom for best save in a debate ever.
