 As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is
only sustained because there are people who are willing to
fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down
their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the
character of our people and the service of those both

nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the
values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans
who represent the very best of the United States of America.

done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will
be done.

“While we were still dealing with our diplomats being
threatened, Governor Romney put out a press release, trying
to make political points, and that’s not how a commander-in

security into a political issue — certainly not right when
it’s happening.”
Romney, in turn, accused Obama with putting partisan politics
above national security. “On the day following the
assassination of the United States ambassador, the first time
that’s happened since 1979 — when we have four Americans
killed there, when apparently we didn’t know what happened,
that the President, the day after that happened, flies to Las
Vegas for a political fund-raiser, then the next day to
Colorado for another event, other political event,” he
countered.
It was in Colorado, two days after the attack, that Obama
more explicitly linked it to terrorism:
