I think the problem with Obamas speech is that even if he believed that it was a demonstration it is still considered an "act of terror." I think he used it in this sense. I don't think when he said "acts of terror" he was meaning it in the sense that we would relate to a terrorist attack... if this makes any sense


I think in Obama's mind, it was a demonstration that turned into a spontaneous act of terror.  As such, he didn't really think of it as a terrorist attack, but still an act of terror.  If that makes sense...
