Take that! In his first and only sit down with ‘The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, President Barack Obama hit out at President-Elect Donald Trump’s refusal to take daily confidential intelligence briefings. Keep reading why our current Prez says that he’ll be ‘flying blind’ if he does that!

President Barack Obama, 55, got to unload on President-Elect Donald Trump’s completely unorthodox idea that he plans to skip daily intelligence briefings and only go over them only once a week,. because he’s “smart enough” not to need constant updates. In his first sit down with The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah, 32, on Dec. 12, Obama said that from his experience running the country for the last eight years, Donald will be making a big mistake![continued]

I read that Obama only attended apps. 40% of the daily intelligence briefings while president. I guess that explains his blind flying for the last 8 years.

Blind? This worthless fool called a president has been blind since day one—and he had every US intelligence agency at his call. Shut go, go away, permanently.

The article neglects to point out that Trump said, ‘If something should change, let us know’.

So it sounds like he wants to be briefed when something changes.

So what's the problem?

Obama skips briefings also. Read somewhere that he gets a summary sent to his tablet.

Trump is criticized by the goofball who called ISIS the JG team. A Blind Trump is probably better than a stupid Obama.

I just read somewhere today that Obama has skipped 48% of his briefings over the last 8 years. And he is still POTUS.

So is 0bama saying that if the intelligence agencies don't like something that President-elect Trump says, that they're suddenly going to cease performing their sworn duties, like petulant children?

What a crock of sh!t...

When the Big Mistake himself says you are making a mistake you are probably doing the right thing.

With all that intelligence briefings, what Obama accomplished is to turn Mid-East into a place of absolute disaster it is now. It is critical who gets intelligence. For a man so dense, it is of no use.

That’s what he would do, if he had the brainpower to be an intelligence analyst. It’s one of the hardest jobs to get into in the military and that’s pretty much the minor leagues compared to the NSA, CIA, DIA and so on.

If he only knew how sick and tired good American patriots are of him he would run and hide. This man is such a disgrace.

So Trump isn’t even president, and the socialist media blob is upset Trump (like Hussein weiner brains), might not attend all intelligence briefings.

Most of the same media didn’t even whisper about how Hussein did precisely this! Those who did, mocked the more conservative of us who dared question Hussein’s all important morning/afternoon golf games, vacations, left wing fundraisers, parties, and state dinners with his Muslim Brotherhood, Iranian affiliates, and Latin American Marxist buddies.

Even worse, critical intelligence was absolutely altered to downplay or outright dismiss dozens of deadly attacks, and enemy campaigns (with tens of thousands killed) resulting from Hussein and Hillary’s proactive anti-American foreign escapades and support of AQI/ISIS and murderous Muslim Brotherhood entities they were propping up.
