Who's Political?

Stephanie Cutter of the Obama campaign was on CNN earlier today and said this about Libya:

STEPHANIE CUTTER: In terms of the politicization of this — you know, we are here at a debate, and I hope we get to talk about the debate — but the entire reason this has become the political topic it is, is because of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It’s a big part of their stump speech. And it’s reckless and irresponsible what they’re doing. 

BROOKE BALDWIN: But, Stephanie, this is national security. As we witnessed this revolution last year, we covered it– 

CUTTER: It is absolutely national security– 

BALDWIN: –it is absolutely pertinent. People in the American public absolutely have a right to get answers.

So, this has only become a political topic because of Mitt Romney?  He was the one who first blamed an obscure online video for the protest  terrorist attack? He was the one whose State Department got calls weeks and months beforehand on the necessity of sending in more security (even pleadings from Ambassador Stevens himself) and did nothing about it?  He is the one declaring victories in Iraq while the number of Al-Qeada have only increased there since our draw down (attacks now average about 20 per day)?
