The intent of what Romney was trying to get across last night was to show that this president has no concern for anyone but himself. He stated that the day after the attack that killed 4 Americans the president was on his plane headed for a fund raiser.
His speech in the Rose Garden did not say that the 4 were killed in a planned terrorist attack. Here is a paragraph from that statement:
"Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts."
That is pretty clear that he was looking at this attack as a part of the demonstrations going on through the Arab world over the YouTube video.
His mention of terror in the tenth paragraph and then he did not say that the attack was a planned terrorist attack.
Candy Crowley overstepped her role in defending Obama. He was wrong and he knows it. I am sure next Monday's debate this will come up again and lets see how he tries to explain it.
