Un-F'n-believable.

So, to the media, this is the same as Obama the Commander in Chief not receiving intelligence briefings.

[DManA]

Big deal. Obama doesn’t get them either.

Ya think the ‘intelligence community’ might have had a six or seven months heads up that Romney was going to be the nominee and the nominating would be done in August?

[Hoodat]

Why would Obama offer something to Romney that he doesn’t bother receiving himself? Obama doesn’t value the briefings himself, so he sees no need to include anyone else.

IIRC, the Clinton administration was very slow to get GWB into the loop and did everything possible to slow the transition after the 2000 election. Their excuse was that they didn’t want to act while Bush v. Gore was in the courts, but it was a first in excluding a nominee and later a President-Elect from necessary knowledge.

Turner tells CBS News the process is "moving forward."
"The Intelligence Community is working closely with the Romney campaign to finalize the logistics for the candidate briefings," he told CBS News. "The process is moving forward on schedule and we are not aware of any concerns."

The process is moving forward? Just like 0's campaign? That explains everything.

After Obummer losses the election, let`s appoint him as Ambassasdor to Libya.

"Turner tells CBS News the process is "moving forward FUBARWARD."

Their, I fixed it, just like everything else in the Obama Administration..........

This is typical of the Obama Administration. They’re behind the curve all the time. Sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose, but always a menace.

[when the time is right]

You are missing the point. If Romney gets the briefings Obama will have to attend the meetings because Romney might know more about what is going on than he does and might trip him up in a debate.

Obama does not want to go to those boring meetings because it cuts into his golf time so every day they can delay is another day to play golf.

[Brookhaven]

More “blame Romney” spin.

They are treating Romney as if he is the incumbent.

The GOP convention ended less than two weeks ago. And, the media is running a story about how ROMNEY is not attending security meetings!

[Gene Eric]

Obama botched 9-11 security. Period.

A US Ambassador was allegedly raped, and we know for certain, murdered.

According to Reuters, Obama had his first on Tues., Sept. 2 of 2008, with John McCain being prepared to do so. This article indicates Romney/intelligence are trying to work out logistics.

This says, then, that Obama began receiving updates within 5 days of the end of the 2008 DNC. The RNC ended on the 4th, which means McCain would not have had time to begin briefing on the Sept. 4 byline of the Reuters statement.

Given that the RNC closed this year Aug 30, the question has to be asked: what is taking so long that the national intelligence office isn’t getting the Republican candidate rolling? Romney’s been the presumed candidate for several months.

[celmak]

Didn't they do this to Bush in 2000? I remember something about Bush not getting any briefs until he was weeks into his presidency, no?

[Doofer]

And Obama does?

[mykroar]

Of course they can't invite Romney, then everyone would know Obama never shows (as opposed to those that are actually paying attention).

[Diogenesis]

Obama does not trust non-Moslems.

[Whats-wrong-with-the-truth]

Yet obama will "leak" national security secrets to the world without hesitation if those leaks make him look good.

Unbelievable.

Romney Does Not Get National Security Briefings

WHich is OK because apparently the President doesn't either!
