According to a new report from the Government Accountability Institute, President Obama skips 60 percent of his intelligence briefings. Breitbart breaks down the data:
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 Obamas PDB attendance record between terms; he attended 42.4% of his PDBs in his first term and 41.3% in his second.
This information comes shortly after Obama blamed the intelligence community for underestimating ISIS during an interview on 60 Minutes. That assertion prompted a visceral reaction from people inside the intelligence community, who have been warning the President about ISIS for years. A former official told The Daily Beast's Eli Lake over the weekend, "Either the president doesnt read the intelligence hes getting or hes bullshitting."
Official: White House aware of ISIS threat for over a year
Now we know, Obama isn't reading the intelligence and we're seeing the consequences of his failure to be informed or involved. ISIS has beheaded two Americans on camera, controls a huge portion of the Middle East, has billions of dollars in black market funding and is driving around in U.S. military equipment as they conquer more territory.
You can bet Obama would never miss 60 percent of his tee-times.
He doesn’t want to know what he doesn’t know...
Obama: “Hear one briefing and you hear them all”.
I'd like to see that statistic. How many gulf games has POTUS played since he took office. In fact, I'd like to know how many days he has actually "worked". (I guess that might be a bit subjective.)
I’ve read that he doesn’t come to work until well after 9 and knocks off at 3.
HERE!
I read that he sits in his gym shorts and t-shirt every day watching sports on TV and people are ushered in for their 5 to 10 minute allocation of his time, if they are lucky enough that he even looks at them while they are there.
Who are you kidding?
He knows everything! /s
“He doesn’t want to know what he doesn’t know...”
Exactly.
Imagine if he screwed things up 41% more than he already does!
I’d state the truth about Obama, but it would be racist.
This is good. That way he can’t pass confidential information on to the enemy.
It must be Bush’s fault that he misses them.
Obama is not doing his job. He needs to be fired.
If the Sultan attended every one of the briefings that does not mean that he could understand them.
There is that upside.
Barack Obama suffers from a severe allergy to work and responsibility.
Can you say Dereliction of Duty.... yes, I thought you could.
If it hasn’t already been added to his list of “crimes against the American people”, it should.
