As always, Media Matters tool Eric Boehlert is frantically spinning for the Obama administration.
And to think it only took GOP/Fox 8 mos to come up w/ brilliant attack that by calling Benghazi "act of terror" Obama trying to hide terror

Except it’s not just the GOP and Fox News.
Even the Washington Post says President Obama is lying when he insists he called Benghazi an act of terror:
Obama declared that he said “that this was an act of terror.” But actually the president spoke in vague terms, usually wrapped in a patriotic fervor. One could presume he was speaking of the incident in Libya, but he did not affirmatively state that the American ambassador died because of an “act of terror.”
…
Whatever the reason, when given repeated opportunities to forthrightly declare this was an “act of terrorism,” the president ducked the question.
@EricBoehlert How can you in good conscious blow off Benghazi by playing semantic judo? You need a long talk with the man in the mirror.
