Examiner Editorial: Obama runs riot with facts on 'ally' Egypt

In an interview with “60 Minutes” on Wednesday night, President Obama was eager to capitalize on an emerging media narrative: that Mitt Romney had blundered badly with his criticism of the administration’s handling of this week’s attack on the American Embassy in Egypt.

“Gov. Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later,” Obama insisted. “And as president, one of the things I’ve learned is you can’t do that, that it’s important for you to make sure that the statements you make are backed up by the facts, and that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make them.”
