To attack free speech...
"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants," Obama said.*
To sympathize with Muslims who were attacking our embassy.
Wrong, it was to condemn the attacks.
I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.
I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya's transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.
The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.

Nope, in the embassy news release, they condemned Americans for insulting Islam.

AFTER the embassy came under attack.
A swing and a miss.
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.
That would be the Embassy of the US in Cairo, not the statement of the POTUS. Nice try however.

The embassy represents Obama. It was an official statement.
Romney Refuses To Apologize For Condemning Dead Americans
He shouldn't apologize, he's right as usual. Not surprizing to me that a obama kool aid drinker like yourself would try to spin it otherwise.
spin? Romney condemned the statements put out by the Americans in the Embassy fearing for their lives... all for political gain
He shouldn't apologize, he's right as usual. Not surprizing to me that a obama kool aid drinker like yourself would try to spin it otherwise.
The embassy was desperately trying to save their own lives and he chooses that moment to kick them under the bus. And then, incredibly, tried to blame the president. He's an idiot and would be even worse that Bush.
He shouldn't apologize, he's right as usual. Not surprizing to me that a obama kool aid drinker like yourself would try to spin it otherwise.
Not only is he wrong, this is not even playing well the GOP foreign policy wonks.
Romney is desperate...he has no choice. His GOP handlers are demanding he thouw mud and tell lies.
But, right or wrong, Mittens is dead wrong to use this in such a shameful way. There's a time and a place for everything.
His attack against the embassy also shows a shocking ignorance of foreign policy.
