Guess what? It was Romney who didn't say "terror" or "terrorist" for 14 days!

Neither in his initial statement after the attacks in Benghazi:

"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt," the Republican presidential candidate said in a statement.

"It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."

Or in the news conference later:

And in fact it took Romney, not Obama two weeks to say it.

1. Good catch....I hadn't noticed that before! Hopefully, the President's staff is....

...getting this information ready for Monday's debate!

Again, good catch!

[BumRushDaShow]

2. Can't the progressive (forget the others) media catch on

to the consistent pattern of rethug projection already and start using THEIR bully pulpit to pound this home?

[edhopper]

6. I know,

this should be a major story put out there.

[KurtNYC]

3. He has Romnesia. He forgot to call them terrorists.

4. Video, President and Sec. of State at the Rose Garden, 9/12. 4:18-4:22, "No act of terrorism . . ."

will shake the resolve of the American people"

Case closed. Romney has to have the worst advisors or memory, ever. "Romnesia."

[ejpoeta]

9. he could have been talking about ANY act of terrorism.

He may not be referring to THIS particular incident that just happened to have happened the day before. /sarcasm

[leveymg]

12. /sarcasm

We really don't have an adequate icon for that -- one that fits in the subject box -- do we?

[edhopper]

13. sarcasm between two colons

: sarcasm : without the spaces

[porphyrian]

5. Typical republican response; blame us for what they do wrong. n/t

[rivegauche]

7. So how many lies does this make

somewhere in the millions I estimate.

8. K & R

[thereismore]

10. Wow, that is rich indeed. nt

[B Calm]

11. I'm so sick of this finger pointing republican,

he is one low SOB!

[bongbong]

14. politicizing tragedy

When you got nothing to run on except "get rid of the n----", you have to grasp at any straw you can.

[reusrename]

15. some serious projection going on there

This was supposed to be the cudgel that they were going to use to beat the president senseless.

Except that Robme let it slip from his grip with his stupid attempt to rewrite the rose garden speech.

They are like heroin dealers that have become hooked on their own product!
