On Wednesday's CBS Evening News, correspondent Jan Crawford devoted a full story to President Obama's deceptive claim that he called the Benghazi attack an "act of terror" early on, as she recounted the administration's initial reluctance to call it a terrorist attack. The CBS correspondent also implicated debate moderator and CNN anchor Candy Crowley in bolstering Obama's distortion.
After showing a clip of Obama and Romney clashing over whether Obama had used the words "act of terror" early on, Crawford showed a clip of what the President said the day after the Benghazi attack, but then exposed Obama's revisionism:
But with that statement, Mr. Obama didn't directly say the Libya attack qualified as one of those acts of terror. Earlier in his remarks, he seemed to suggest the attacks instead were triggered by an anti-Muslim video.
After another clip of Obama, she continued:
Top administration officials, including U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, delivered that message over the next five days. On Face the Nation, Rice suggested the Benghazi incident might have been triggered by demonstrations in Cairo over the film.

I predicted this 6 weeks ago right here... drip... drip... drip... death by thousands of cuts.
LLS
It couldn't.
No way a 9/11 terrorist attack and murdered ambassador is anything but a political liability.
The video had been on the web since June, so the Obama minions seized upon it as the cornerstone for a desperate and clumsy cover-up attempt that has now completely backfired.
Isn’t she the one that was co-ordinating the questions to ask Romney? “Yeah, that’s the question.”
Timing couldn’t be worse for zero having to debate foreign policy. Hopefully it will be the death knell.
As for turning on him, well, that’s what happens in a barrel of snakes.
OK Libs, he said it was a terrorist attack. Still four dead people and he’s on letterdouche. Four dead and they knew the attack was coming. 4 DEAD AND HE LIED! 4 DEAD AND HITLARY IS GOING OUT THERE AND LYING LIKE HER HUSBAND DID WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD TRACK DOWN THOSE RESPONSIBLE. WHEN WE HAD A PRES WHO DID GO AFTER THE TERRORIST THEY DID EVERYTHING TO BLOKE HIM AND EVEN BLAME HIM FOR THE ATTACK. HITLARY SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON WITH HER CROOKED WILLIE.
Guess she too is just sick and tired of covering for Bozo, some people do have some pride and convictions it seems.
After the debate there was no way the MSM's could ignore the obvious, it was exposed to all their viewers and on the record.
Those viewers were previously unaware of what happened in Libya, not any more and they want to know Who, What, When and Where.
OBAMA IS TOASTED. Finished, capoot, seeya, adios, aloha.
Crawford was one of the few to report on Fast&Furious, if I recall correctly.
thanks - I wondered why nothing came of it.
“They have been propping him up for 4 years. He has been lying to them and using them to perpetuate the lies. If his lose appears inevitable, they will try to regain some credibility in the remaining months before a new administration is sworn in.”
They can’t regain too much credibility, because they’re going to need every second they can scrounge in the next four years to bash Romney and tell us how evil Republicans are.
IF Hussein concedes.
Gore never did.
CBS, huh? Will wonders never cease. Makes me think that these guys are actually making an effort to be unbiased in some cases.
In return for Stevens Obama would give up the Blind Sheik (O's muslim brother), voilà, Obama is the hero and reelected.
If anything went wrong, plan B was the Video, ready and waiting, if needed.
Also tied into this was those missiles, Obama wanted them back, send Stevens in to get them, have him taken hostage, game on.
But lookie here, OOPS, we're NOT giving them back and we will kill the infidel.
Just all theory of course.
In the old days, they all would have had a field day ripping up Crowley and CNN, and she would have heard "You're FIRED!" the next morning if not that night.
I miss competition. I miss America. I miss merit. I miss when we fought communism and socialism abroad, instead of embracing it at home.
Whatever FOX is paying Juan Williams ( to whom they threw a lifeline when he was fired by NPR) they should TRIPLE it and hire Crawford..
Thank you Wall Street Insider, for calling in the markers.
Obama must go.
See tagline for further enlightenment.

Kinda like the 2nd Pres debate on Thursday, where Obama and Crowley had the transcript of the Rose garden speech “ready and waiting”. That right there proves to me that are capable of “planning” for despicable events.
So the question becomes even wider, Who coordinated the protests at all of the U.S. Embassies? Was it not well known that Bill Ayers, amongst others, was deeply involved in organizing Muslim Brotherhood, who overthrew Egypt and Libyan governments.
Methinks, perhaps that Mr. Ozero sent the order on his personal blackberry to the people ‘on the ground’ (Muslim Brotherhood) via the network that Bill Ayers, Et Al, had organized. Were the protests started up as up-front cover story for the Benghazi attack?
Pure speculation on my part.
Although I have seen unconfirmed reports that it wasn't about the video at all, but rather about demanding the release of the "blind sheik".
Your suggesting they put this Video up first, start the protests in another area, fan the flames and hopefully it would spread over to Benghazi.
Sounds plausable.
They knew what Obama was after, those missiles, they forgot to tell him they don't play by his or his 38 CZARS rules.OOPS
But, stupid Obama reverts back to the one thing HE KNOWS started all the havoc, "that pesky video", the one he himself drew their attention to.
See, we solved it. lol The Freeper sleuts will always solve the mysteries.
Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
That was plan A. Right after Obama directed them to that Video. imo
Kinda like the debate: "Get the transcript" moment, conveniently waiting in little Crowleys hands. oops
Now those missiles are in Syria and being used. Another Fast and Furious.
I'm out of here for the evening, getting VERY slow.
