"On Friday, the department released an Oct. 9 background press briefing, during which a State Department official contradicted the White House’s claim about the video.I can't remember a president's staff member ever throwing him under the bus like this. The Clinton's must have polling data that shows Obama is going to lose the election, so Hillary is stabbing him in the back in order to position herself for 2016.
The move is unusual, because the transcripts of most background briefings are not released — especially if they involve a direct disagreement between the department and the White House."
More weirdness around the creator of the anti-Muslim video.
"That the makers and promoters of "Innocence" were well aware of this possibility is my own theory, and as we learn more about the origins of this provocation I believe this will be confirmed. This was no random YouTube stunt but a well-organized operation: so far we know almost nothing about it, except that the film’s alleged creator has at least a dozen aliases and is now safely behind bars, where no journalists can ask him any questions. Even his probation hearing was held behind closed doors: reporters were allowed to watch via video in another room. There is something distinctly odd about the whole affair, and yet our incurious media dropped the ball almost immediately. Sam Bacile, alias Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, alias Mark Basseley Youssef, etc., has dropped out of the headlines, along with all efforts to ferret out the film’s financial backers and the real creator of the project, who is almost certainly not the jailbird and fraudster currently receiving all the "credit." "It is odd that the press doesn't even bother to investigate the backers.
