Briefings were 1. Not what Obie was focused on at the time, 2. not crisp and 3. not well presented...
Bottom line, NOT WHAT PRESIDENT OBIE WANTED TO HEAR.
Yes; loud and clear. . .and would guess; given the Obama levels of 'offense' against those who have been there in 'his' employ; we will not hear much from Blair about his 'life on the job'. . .nor his reasons for retiring from this job.
