Obama said what? Video was just “an excuse” for planned terrorist attack
Is this guy really this slow on the uptake? He’s now done a complete 180 in just 9 days. If he wasn’t sure of the obvious in the first place, why did he say anything and go to such lengths to apologize for what he now admits was an excuse?
This isn’t leadership. He’s leading from behind, again.
A short time later, President Barack Obama said that protests over a video that ridicules the Prophet Muhammad were used as a pretext for a planned strike against Americans.
“What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests. Well, we do not know yet. And so we are going to continue to investigate this,” Obama said.

He lies.
Natural?!!!! Obama says it’s natural to rip up and burn our flag?!!!
There WERE NO PROTESTS in Libya.
There were guys with RPGs and mortars who showed up out of the blue.
That whole thing is a LIE.
Now I know why the people who believe Obama are dumb. Just trying to follow his lead makes you dumber.

Even if we accept the twists and turns in reasoning and ‘fact-stating’ we’ve seen from the administration, it still is damning in a key way. The overt effort Obama has claimed since day one to change the “view” of America by Islamist, much less every in the whole world, has failed. That a trigger as simple as an Internet video has caused such vitriol – constant violence and chants that are no different than post-Iraq invasion, pre-Obama days, is a bad sign for Obama. The radicals have proven their unchanging, unbending view of America yet again. No catering to them will change that. His policy is an utter failure, as a result.
