Obama Administration - It's not our fault. Again

From Politico's Huddle, 9/13/2012 - SINGLE STAFFER PENNED CAIRO EMBASSY STATEMENT - Josh Rogin writes at Foreign Policy's The Cable blog: "One staffer at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was responsible for the statement and tweets Tuesday that have become grist for the presidential campaign, and that staffer ignored explicit State Department instructions not to issue the statement, one U.S. official close to the issue told The Cable. ... The statement, issued as a press release on the U.S. Embassy website, has been attacked by Republican challenger Mitt Romney, lawmakers, and conservatives around the country as an inappropriate 'apology' and a failure to stand up for American principles such as freedom of speech. The White House distanced itself from the statement Tuesday, and Romney criticized it directly in his initial reaction to the attacks in Egypt and Libya shortly thereafter, accusing President Barack Obama of evincing sympathy for the attackers." http://bit.ly/QWLmlw
