Yeah, it took two weeks before Obama unequivocally called it terrorism and disavowed the notion of a mob action. In the interim they consistently pushed the video for some reason. On September 18th he was on Letterman, again blaming the video and saying that "terrorists and extremists" used it as an excuse to "attack a number of our embassies, including the consulate in Libya". That's obviously not true, as he well knew. Other embassies had to deal with unruly protesters, not terrorists, and the attack in Libya was a pre-meditated and well-coordinated attack that had nothing to do with some obscure video. It was in revenge for our killing of al-Qaeda's al-Libi.
