...The story had already broken before Petraeus made his statement...

That's right but it was low key and the media wasn't making much of it. Someone as high up as Petraeus mentioning it in the manner that he did pretty much demanded that the media cover it at that point.

The buck stops with the Commander in Chief...Obama....but I agree that Petraeus should have never elevated the whole thing. My guess was that the media asked him to comment on the whole thing or else Obama did. This doesn’t sound like something Petraeus would have done on his own.
