Romney made a fool of himself trying to question President Obama on the Rose Garden speech given on September 12, the day after Americans were attacked and killed.


Romney gave the look of "gotcha" only to be slammed by the fact check. Yes, the transcript shows Mr. President Obama spoke about terrorism on that solemn day.

Sadly, the republican right wing echo chamber didn't hear that part of the fact checking. Instead they thought their candidate made a political point. No, my friends. Romney looked like a fool.

Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi

I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.

I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.

On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.
The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.

Oh !

I just figured out what you meant by the headline. It's a play off the conspiracy theory that Obama needs to release his transcripts. Took me awhile. :p

Crowley apologized for her remarks because she was wrong to interject herself into the debate.

She did not backtrack or apologize. She was interviewed by Soledad O'Brien and stood firm. Paul Ryan was lying on the stump saying she did apologize. Republicans have spun things so much that they live in their own realities.
