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
