Crowley was right the first time. Here's the video. The part in question is at 4:18

When you are talking about an event and you say "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation", it means you are calling the act a terrorist act. THis isnt even particularly subtle. It's just a shade below completely obvious."

comments. I saw the 'edited' video where she was cut off. It's "malarkey".

I guess she was asked to walk it back by CNN since Wolf thought Obama won.

I guess it is just that unlike the right wingers after Oklahoma City who called out -- It's them Arab Terrorists! -- within hours of the event, our Commander in Chief is more of a statesman who chooses his words wisely and doesn't shoot off his mouth before he has all the facts.

Our President is speaking to the global community, not just to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh fans.
