According to this, the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn the attacks, but rather to apologize for Pastor Terry's actions ...

Obama's response (U.S. Embassy in Cairo): "The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts of misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims."

Romney's response to Obama's reponse: “I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi ... 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.”

Of course, it's safer for Romney to not couch his language in diplomatic double-speak, but I've got to say I like his response better.
