...Another Intel Briefing
By Guy Benson
Is anyone surprised by this revelation? Our Commander Campaigner-in-Chief has made his priorities crystal clear:
How long had it been since President Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting in the lead-up to the Sept. 11 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Egypt and Libya? After all, our adversaries are known to use the anniversary of 9/11 to target the United States. According to the public schedule of the president, the last time the Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting was Sept. 5 — a week before Islamist radicals stormed our embassy in Cairo and terrorists killed our ambassador to Tripoli. The president was scheduled to hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the State Department — as well he should. But instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.
On Monday the same Washington Post columnist, Marc Thiessen, reported that the president has missed 62 percent of his daily in-person intel briefings in 2011 and 2012. President Bush almost never missed a briefing after 9/11. I recognize that a president's schedule is extremely demanding, especially in the teeth of a campaign, so passing on these meetings occasionally would be understandable. I cannot, however, fathom how the president could justify canceling and not re-scheduling his intelligence briefing the day after an active US Ambassador was murdered in the line of duty, and as an international crisis continues to spread. The White House offers a two-fold defense on this: First, make snide remarks about President Bush, then insist that Obama is so sophisticated that he doesn't need experts to brief him:

He really should try to work them in between TEE times and booty-calls.

One of the best comments:
Having the Briefing delivered daily so that he can read it is hogwash...
You have face to face briefings so that you can have a back and forth on the issues that need clarification or that you want more indepth information on.
Reading it does nothing to provide that type of in depth understanding... even for "good" readers like Obama. and we all know he is a good reader, becasue he's been reading his posiitions, policies and clarifications to us for 4 years.... I wonder if he truely knows what he is reading?

Lazy ****er.

Only 52 more days of this nonsense, after which an adult will be getting ready to move into the White House.

Yeah, but the ass will have 70+ days to do damage after the election.

What does he do on AF1? It's not like he can go anywhere else.

Nope not at all.

In Fahrenheit 911 there was a scene where Bush is fielding questions from reporters a few months before the attack.
At the end of the Q&A Bush said, "Now watch this swing."
That was supposed to encapsulate what Bush thought of threats BEFORE 9/11.
Now we have BO using the same line even though savages have killed his friend and 3 other Americans.
-
Moore's movie also made a big stink about some vauge references to terrorists hijacking airplanes in one of Bush's PDBs... that was his proof that Bush "knew" about 9/11 and "did nothing".
Obama had this all but spelled out for him in big neon letters and still missed it.

The embassy has even stopped smoldering and he's still disengaged.

Sociopathic narcissists don't have friends. They have means to an end.
