‘Apparently the PDB is actually a document’
No, it’s an actual briefing. He’s supposed to listen to it, ask questions, and direct the briefers to get him more info on areas he deems a threat/important. Obama skips the briefings [most of the time] but claims he reads the report. There is no evidence that he does. If he had, he wouldn’t be blathering about how everyone was blindsided by ISIS. *He* is the one who was blindsided, because he skipped his briefings.

"The President's Daily Brief (PDB), sometimes referred to as the President's Daily Briefing or the President's Daily Bulletin, is a Top Secret document produced each morning for the President of the United States." - Wikipedia
Apparently over 40% of the time, someone also speaks to Obama in person. If the intelligence community saw ISIS as a very great threat, one would think that they would have frequently brought it up in writing and in these meetings. Wikipedia mentions that other high officials also get the PDB.

The President is going backed to the failed Leftist/Democrat way of handling terrorism — waiting until “imminent threats” and treating it as a law enforcement issue rather than war.
