0bama was worried that any rescue attempt failure with fatalities would be compared to Carter’s ‘botched helicopter rescue’ in Iran. I think that’s the ONLY thing they were worried about at that time; IMPACT TO CAMPAIGN. Throw in a pinch of denial and attempt to cover-up.
I will bet, you can’t find a reference, to the Arab protests prior to Sept. 11th 2012, that are connected to the “Innocence of Muslims” video.
Here’s just one report:

Jihadis Threaten to Burn U.S. Embassy in Cairo
September 10, 2012 - 4:20 pm
Jihadi groups in Egypt, including Islamic Jihad, the Sunni Group, and Al Gamaa Al Islamiyya have issued a statement threatening to burn the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to the ground.
According to El Fagr, they are calling for the immediate release of the Islamic jihadis who are imprisonment and in detention centers in the U.S. including Guantanamo Bay: “The group, which consists of many members from al-Qaeda, called [especially] for the quick release of the jihadi [mujahid] sheikh, Omar Abdul Rahman [the “Blind Sheikh”], whom they described as a scholar and jihadi who sacrificed his life for the Egyptian Umma, who was ignored by the Mubarak regime, and [President] Morsi is refusing to intervene on his behalf and release him, despite promising that he would. The Islamic Group has threatened to burn the U.S. Embassy in Cairo with those in it, and taking hostage those who remain [alive], unless the Blind Sheikh is immediately released.”
