Yes, it seems he did.
From Ace of Spades:
On 60 Minutes last night, the President characterized the death of an ambassador, the sacking of a consulate, the storming of three embassies, and the burning of countless American flags as mere"bumps in the road" in the Middle East.
The President's remark is noteworthy not merely because he uses a euphemism for inconvenience to refer to the horrifying situation he partially bears responsibility for, but because he identified a shocking root cause for the problem:
But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because — you know, in a lot of these places — the one organizing principle — has been Islam.
Hmmmm....Did the mask slip off BHO? He was off teleprompter.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Obama read THIS in the Associated Press:
