One of the centerpieces of the Democratic case for Barack Obama‘s reelection in Charlotte last week was the President’s record on national security – specifically, his decision to pursue the operation that eventually led to the death of Osama bin Laden.
That impressive achievement, however, may be blunted by the force of revelations by former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen in today’s Washington Post. Thiessen writes:
President Obama is touting his foreign policy experience on the campaign trail, but startling new statistics suggest that national security has not necessarily been the personal priority the president makes it out to be. It turns out that more than half the time, the commander in chief does not attend his daily intelligence meeting.
The Government Accountability Institute examined President Obama’s schedule from the day he took office until mid-June 2012, to see how often he attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) — the meeting at which he is briefed on the most critical intelligence threats to the country. During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent. By contrast, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting.

This would make a perfect anti-Obama TV ad. Hopefully a PAC will do it, because I don’t think Romney will.
But at least he was at work for the day he “got”/”smoked”/”took out” his co-religionist in “Pahk-ee-stan”. /s
The REAL president of the U.S. is Valerie Jarrett. Barack is just a place holder to look god.
god=good. Freudian slip. LOL
So who IS at those intelligence meetings if NOT the President? Jarret!?
It doesn’t mater to the vast minions of free loading marxists sitting on the couch who will go to the polls in mass to vote for their master.
Check Valerie Jarret’s schedule. She is the one running the country.
You nailed it!! BO was, has been and always will be just a figurehead and place keeper, put in the office of POTUS by Soros, Inc. He is not interested in being the head of the greatest country on earth. He is just there for the perks of the office. JMHO

” - - - It turns out that more than half the time, the commander in chief does not attend his daily intelligence meeting.”
Looks like Clint did his empty chair research for his Convention speech very well!
Now IF Obama can have a meeting about the redistribution of our wealth I am positive he will attend that meeting. He wants/needs the middle class destroyed in this nation.
Yep, Obama too busy with golf and fundraising to worry about the security briefings. Want to bet this shows up in ads?
Imagine that. An Iranian sitting in on all highest level
security meetings. I’m sure it’ll all come out okay in the end, which is probably near.
That remains to be seen.... Maybe Clint can bring out that empty chair and speak Obama minus that teleprompter script. I am living a nightmare of unspeakable insanity... I know this by the liberals in my immediate life, who have no flipping clue, what it literally means to be American...
Some days I 'feel' like Abraham asking God how many does He require to save modern Sodom and Gomorrah.
“You can’t really expect him to do his job in an election year, can you? Lets get our priorities straight.”
Obama’s “job” is to WEAKEN the United States.
The more “intelligence” meetings he skips, the better. Perhaps that’s less damage that he can do....
Hopefully, by January next year, he’ll be “skipping” them all!
“Check Valerie Jarret’s schedule. She is the one running the country.”
What’s her security clearance?
Jes’ wonderin’...
He knows everything so there is no reason for these stinking meetings... Fore!!!
yep
