Obama’s claim he called Benghazi an ‘act of terrorism’ a Whopper Lie says Washington Post

Obama now desperately engaging in revisionist history--"I'll say I said it even when I know I didn't"--

" . . . For unknown reasons, CBS did not release this clip (see below) until just two days before the elections, and it attracted little notice at the time because Superstorm Sandy dominated the news." (source infra)

Obama’s claim he called Benghazi an ‘act of terrorism’ - The Washington Post: " . . . on Sept. 12, immediately after the Rose Garden statement the day after the attack, Obama sat down with Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes and acknowledged he purposely avoided the using the word “terrorism:”
KROFT: “Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word ‘terrorism’ in connection with the Libya attack.”
OBAMA: “Right.”
KROFT: “Do you believe that this was a terrorist attack?”
OBAMA: “Well, it’s too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.”
(. . . he avoided using “terrorism.” For unknown reasons, CBS did not release this clip until just two days before the elections, and it attracted little notice at the time because Superstorm Sandy dominated the news.) . . . ."
