Where's the Gaffe?!

Romney comes out and calls the administration's response to the embassy attacks disgraceful because it included sympathy with the mob in the Middle East for any offense that might've hurt their religious feelings.  Consider for a moment that this administration actually stated that it's a misuse of your First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech to offend the religious beliefs of Muslims:

Here the Tweet released after the flag had been burnt in the Cairo Embassy:
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.

I'm still with Mitt on his statement released later that night, now tagged as a gaffe by the mainstream media:

"It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."

Romney reaffirmed his position in the morning during a press conference while Obama was making his first appearance to the public.  Obama kept an acknowledgement in his statement of some perceived provocation on the religious sensibilities of the attackers:

"...the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants."

So we have another Romney/Obama distinction.  The Obama administration is concerned about offending fundamental Islamists in the Middle East - to the point where they may make such expressions a misuse of our Freedom of Speech.  After all, every other terrorist attack has led to more restrictions on us of one kind or another.  Romney wants only to denounce these zealots for attacking our sovereignty and killing our citizens.  It's no time for a soft and conciliatory response - wars have started over less.
