Frankly it's better to accept the President's assertion that he knew it was terrorism on Sept 12. Because that means he was knowingly lying and covering up at every opportunity in the weeks that followed that. Up until now he had been saying he didn't know, intel told him it was a video. He blanketed himself in ignorance. Now we can definitively say "oh no, you knew! You said so yourself on September 12th! So why have you been lying about the video ever since?"

If we prove he said it was a video on Sept 12th all it does is support his story that when he went to the UN and on the View and other venues and said it was the video, well, he really beleived it because of bad intel. Let's take that lie away from him and accept that he did indeed know on Sept 12th and that he's been covering up ever since.

Actually, they have problems either way.

We’ve got to remember that less than a week ago, VP Biden was whining “We didn’t know.”

Now, Obama is saying “we did know.”

On the one hand, the “we didn’t know” statement is provably a lie. But it dealt only with the immediate situation. They surely knew within 48 hours,because everyone else in the world did. Nonetheless, they sent their surrogates out to lie about the video.

On the other hand, the “we did know” statement leads to the question “then why did you send your surrogates out immediately to lie, and why did you lie about the video in the very transcript in which you claimed you used the word terror?”

And, importantly to me, Why did they lie to the families about the deaths of their loved ones?

In short, there is no place to run and no place to hide.
