Wow!!! It only took the Obama Administration nine days to admit that the September 11th attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi which claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were an act of terrorism.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says its “self-evident” that these were terrorist attacks. Still, Carney won’t say the attacks were premeditated. Yes, I guess Carney is still going to tell us that the attacks had nothing to do with the fact that they took place on September 11th.
Of course, the Obama Administration was singing a very different tune with UN Ambassador Susan Rice calling the violence a “spontaneous reaction” prompted by the internet video “The Innocence of Muslims”.
I suppose we should be grateful that the Obama Administration recognizes that what happened in Libya was an act of terrorism. It’s been nearly three years since the shootings at Fort Hood and the Obama Administration considers that an act of “workplace violence”.

Well, as a guy who had a narrow escape from the Fort Hood shootings (I turned down a psychiatric job offer there in 2007), I despise Obama and everything he stands for. Horrible Domestic and Foreign policy POTUS. Worthless clown.

If we apply Obama and his followers' logic back into history, it seems that (1) Charlie Chaplin must be blamed for Germany declaring war on the US in December 1941 because of Mr. Chaplin's "insensitive" movie, "The Dictator" and (2) Truman defeated Dewey in 1948 because Harry Truman had the guts to kill Hitler.
What passes for a Presidential Administration and mainstream media has gone beyond farce.

Either Obama was lying or he is so stupid it took him nine days to connect the dots, that being the Libayn president told him it was a terrorrist attack, several hundred showed up with guns,bombs and RPG's, it occurred on sept 11, and Obama and the Dems spent a week bragging about killing Osama.

So it's "self-evident" that the it was a terrorist attack?
self-evident - (adj.) obvious with explanation or proof.
If it is self-evident, by definition that means the administration lied about the movie being the cause. Since most of the embassy protests didn't occur until after Obama spread the lie, doesn't it stand to reason that the protesters may not have even known about the movie if he hadn't done so? So, it's possible that all of these protests could have been avoided if not for Obama's lie.
Maybe he should apologize to the family of the Pakistani man who died from inhaling the smoke of a burning American flag.

much like DNC Scarewoman Derpie Wasserface Nutz (who lacks the intelligence to understand the definition of 'literally'), the Carny Barker doesn't know the definition of 'self-evident'...but i'm guessing he thinks it sounds 'presidential'; after all, didn't some of those old white dudes use that term on some irrelevant document way back when?
