His whole campaign is a shift in a series of initial definitions'.

one of the guys on NPR said the same thing you're saying now.

I know, Romo had it coming, but let's be fair, did he CLEARLY state that the particular attack was terrorism? I think not, just sayin'

It's true, it seems the Prez may have even said it knowing it would come in handy to cover himself. I think it's a legitimate point, nonetheless, he kicked his romo azz!!! Romney looked pitiful, boy I wish they had a shot of his face when the Prez had the last word with the 47percentile statement? you think that was planned or was that just off the cuff for the Prez? Just awesome!!!

he probably planned it and waited for the right moment to present itself for him to unleash it

My sister, Mitt really did look pittiful at times, did he not? Prez did not even break a sweat and Romney was working hard!!! Got spanked big tyme.

Obama called it 'acts of terror' which is really the smarter way of calling it until you have all the facts. His administration did not have all the facts, and there was some serious miscommunication because the press secretary and Hillary Clinton called it 'terrorism' but he would not until the 2nd or 3rd week. Now, the folks in Libya also did not know what was going on until weeks later. I am glad that he took responsibility for everything (which is what he should do) but he didn't throw anyone under the bus, which is commendable.

I would rather have this than declaring 'terrorist' and 'weapons of mass destruction'.

you mean like romney threw GW under the bus and buried him there?????

He did call it an act of terror. Whether he did in general terms or not he was giving a speech on the Benghazi issue therefore Benghazi attack is an act of terror.

However, this is where Rawmoney blew it. The President did not answer the question and what Rawmoney should have done was to press him to answer it and if Prez didn't he should go on the attack and make the Prez look stupid for incompetence. Lo and behold he completely forgot about the question being asked and concentrated on what he thought the President said. I just put my hands on my head like...kai this guy just handed the Prez the debate on a platter of gold! Everybody and their mama knew the Benghazi question was coming and the Prez knew he couldn't lie to American people if pressed on it but only Rawmoney didn't see this! Speechless!!

Obama
