I always pictured the presidential daily briefing as 1 or more people coming to the president in the Oval Office, not something he has to go anywhere to hear. So I just got an education. You don’t have to go anywhere to “attend” something. You just need to listen to it.
Willful negligence? If you take your hands off the steering wheel, the car crashes. Our federal deficit, credit rating, global competitiveness ranking.. All TANKING under 0bama’s reign of no leadership. But.. HE’S AHEAD IN THE POLLS!!!!.. ‘FORWARD’!!!!!
“Why is Obama skipping more than half of his daily intelligence meetings?”
Because he is stupid!
I'd wager that Valerie Jarrett has even less interest in national security intelligence than does the President.
Simple fact of the matter is that nobody is minding the store...
“Intelligence” and “Obama” should never be in the same sentence.
One of the problems with him not going to almost every meeting is, if during a time of crisis (one that may not be known to the general public) Obama starts showing up to the PDB consistently, that change in pattern is a tip to the other side.
i.e....”something is up...Obama has been at his PDB for 2 straight weeks.”
Because he (best Jack Nicholson voice) “can’t handle the Truth.”
Because of my dyslexia I read “below his pay grade as” below his gay pride.
Regean was the gipper and Obama is the skipper.
He skipped from being a Jr Sen to President. In beteeen he had no Military service ,hardly anyone outside of his inner circle of radicals and communist know who he is,and with no real work experience in the private sector. With no evidence he knows anything about anything!
Thank goodness we didn’t elect Palin for proxi-President because we would have missed out on Obutthead.
Hs O’liness truly is the Presentdent or as I like to call him with all due disrespect intended the Prezbo.
This is exactly it. Plus, let's be blunt, he doesn't really care about the country. But the egoism is the primary reason. There have been presidents who cared about the country, perhaps even deeply so, but let their blind arrogance and belief in their own superiority lead them astray. Woe to us when we have a president who does not care about a strong America and is narcissist of the first water.
Democrats are bored with and don’t like foreign policy because it takes time away from domestic policy which for them means vote buying, wealth redistribution, rewarding their friends, punishing their enemies and making money on the side via corruption
With his staff leaking so much National security info to the press, he doesn’t need to go to the briefings, he just needs to watch CNN.
Let me give a liberal response:
The President is under a lot of stress trying to help this country. Plus, he has competent people to handle the day to day things. If something happens he’ll be on top of it immediately.
Well, about two weeks in he DID say that he liked being president and he was good at it. As I recall he was flinging balls in the White Hut bowling alley at the time.
Because Valerie Jarrett is attending in his place and she can pass the confidential information on to our enemies just as easily.
Bingo.
Remember the situation room picture when the SEALs took out Osama. Zippy in his golf jacket, looking like a kid on take your kid to work day. He is in over his head and everyone knows it. His cabinet and advisers all cover for him, but I’m sure it’s wearing on them, too. Lots of staff jumping ship. Carney must be on drugs to be able to keep a straight face when he lies to cover for him.
Interesting that this critical article is from the Washington Post.
Its an Intelligence meet, that alone explains it.
But I suspect that at some point certain types of intel was just not to be reported to Obama.
