Report: Obama Has Missed over Half His Second-Term Daily Intel Briefings
Breitbart ^ | 9/29/14 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 09/30/2014 8:18:14 AM PDT by illiac

A new Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report reveals that President Barack Obama has attended only 42.1% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) in the 2,079 days of his presidency through September 29, 2014.

The GAI report also included a breakdown of Obama’s PDB attendance record between terms; he attended 42.4% of his PDBs in his first term and 41.3% in his second.

The GAI’s alarming findings come on the heels of Obama’s 60 Minutes comments on Sunday, wherein the president laid the blame for the Islamic State’s (ISIS) rapid rise squarely at the feet of his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

Don’t worry. Our Secretary of State will pick up the slack.

I have long said that he doesn’t want the job, just the title and trappings.

Report: Obama Has Missed over Half His Second-Term Daily Intel Briefings

Hey, cut him some slack and quit picking on Baraq. Intelligence briefings are boring and complicated and take way too much brainpower to comprehend.

Golf, on the other hand, boils down to hitting a ball in a hole, even the simple minded can get it, and like everything else, Hussein can "fudge" the score.

‘Twould seem logical that the person getting intel briefings would have some residual intel himself.

But, since we have the dumbest president evah, why even give him the briefings?

Face it, MSM, YOUR president is dumber than a rock.

I have always said that obama had no idea as to what the hell was going on.

I sometimes threw it out there rhetorically, but I also knew that he pretty much ignores his advisers and assistants, fully believing in himself and wrongly thinking that he was the smartest man he knows.

He is arrogant to the point of being dangerous.

I fear for my country.

I count the days until his ass is out of there.

He is just lazy and disinterested in working hard. This is what you would expect from someone who never had a real job, and grew up privileged in Hawaii.
