Here is the complete statement:
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.
Thanks for the link from the Blogfather who notes the Obama Administration is distancing itself from the apology. Funny they can make a statement covering their behind, but they can’t seem to make an official statement of their own on the attacks of two Embassies and the murder of an official in Libya. It’s as if “they are … new to foreign policy” as he said of his opponents during his Convention speech.

By international treaty, American embassies abroad are considered to be land of the U.S.
Therefore, these attacks are de jure attacks on the United States, and as such are acts of war.
At the very least, all American foreign aid should be stopped to those countries.
[edit: not allowing the final statement]
Bless his heart, he just released a cool billion dollars that we borrowed from China to the Egyptians.
