>> Had he said nothing, he would have been attacked as spineless. Yes, he likely would. This is a very dangerous time for our country, however, because a misstep could turn the election toward Obama.

oh i am not suggesting he say NOTHING.... i'm saying he needed to be extremely careful of appearing to be politicizing the deaths of these americans...of course he should speak to this....i think he could have made a better crafted statement, it is a very fine line... remember his original tweet was made BEFORE the deaths...i don't disagree at all with his statement vis a vis the cairo embassy statement....as he pointed out, the WH agrees with HIM, they deleted the tweet and walked back the statement.... now that americans have been killed, he has to be careful in creating the appearance of not 'using' the tragic events for political advantage, imo
