This is what the President said on 9-12, the day after the attack on the US Consulate at Benghazi:
“No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.”
“As noted by one of my colleagues, the President mentioned “acts of terror” but didn’t directly say Benghazi was one. When he directly addressed the attack he called it an ‘outrageous and shocking attack.’”
It is not the word, it is the entire aftermath after the attack including what he did afterward. By making the attack about the video for whatever reason. I cannot understand his thinking on this or why he would continue his trip to Las Vegas.
