Obama Skipping Staggering Amount of Daily Intelligence Meetings

Sep. 10, 2012 1:36pm Mytheos Holt

One of the centerpieces of the Democratic case for Barack Obama’s reelection in Charlotte last week was the President’s record on national security – specifically, his decision to pursue the operation that eventually led to the death of Osama bin Laden.

That impressive achievement, however, may be blunted by the force of revelations by former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen in today’s Washington Post. Thiessen writes:

President Obama is touting his foreign policy experience on the campaign trail, but startling new statistics suggest that national security has not necessarily been the personal priority the president makes it out to be. It turns out that more than half the time, the commander in chief does not attend his daily intelligence meeting.

The Government Accountability Institute examined President Obama’s schedule from the day he took office until mid-June 2012, to see how often he attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) — the meeting at which he is briefed on the most critical intelligence threats to the country. During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent. By contrast, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting.

Thiessen was able to get comment from the White House’s National Security spokesman, Tommy Vietor, who told him, “The president gets the information he needs from the intelligence community each day.”

Vietor’s reason for believing this is apparently that despite not attending meetings, President Obama reads the briefs on National Security that he receives every day, and simply can’t find time to attend the specific meetings. Thiessen does not find this persuasive:

Yet Vietor also directed me to a Post story written this year in which Obama officials discuss the importance of the intelligence meeting and extol how brilliantly the president runs it. “Obama reads the PDB ahead of time and comes to the morning meeting with questions. Intelligence briefers are there to answer those questions, expand on a point or raise a new issue,” The Post reported. “One regular participant in the roughly 500 Oval Office sessions during Obama’s presidency said the meetings show a president consistently participating in an exploration of foreign policy and intelligence issues.”

Not so consistently, it seems.

Thiessen has been a consistent critic of the Obama administration’s approach to national security and, as such, he is likely to be dismissed by liberals as a hack trying to turn a non-issue into an issue. Their argument might be considered stronger if not for reports that the President spends extraordinary amounts of time each day engaged in what amount to trivialities. For instance, one can imagine an argument that the President ought to spend less time perfecting his skill at bowling, and more time attending these briefings.

  National Security? I didn’t come to Washington to cater to partisan politics. I have more important things to do, I have an election to run, conservatives to vilify, fund raisers to plan, I have taxes to raise, regulations to implement, free stuff to give out and extra money to throw away. It’s the right thing to do. It’s the right… thing… to do!

  From the very day, this Punk took office,
  he found it boring & a drain on HIS agenda to have to deal with
  the daily PDB…that is a fact !
  
  Reviewing pending security threats to the country
  was ALWAYS George Bush’s first business of the day.
  He was smart enough to sense
  that if America was in danger of attack….NOTHING else mattered.
  
  The American people will never be burdened or know
  of all the threats & terror acts in progress,
  that were ferreted out & stopped before catastrophic results.
  
  The only matter important to Oblameo was HIS agenda.
  Just as he couldn’t be bothered with the Gulf Oil Spill-
  neither should he be bothered by security briefs.
  
  “Somebody PLUG the damn hole-
  America can ABSORB another terror attack”…those are his quotes !
  
  He was NEVER presidential material,
  he was all about “getting social justice”-
  don’t bother him with trivial things like security, Iran, Israel & the economy.
  
  He hires his own personal chef who, now
  is brewing a special “Honey Ale” in the White House.
  A few distributors are going to market it,
  as “El Presidente” Honey Ale…a tip of the beer mug to Latino voters ?
  Someone needs to ask-
  who is paying & benefiting from this ?
  
  Oblameo is lugging cases of “El Presidente” on Air Force One
  to pass out on the campaign trail.
  
  Community organizer turned micro brewer-
  in the meantime, presidential duty is a side gig..
  His TOP PRIORITY is thyself.
  
  We’ve got a LOSER…We NEED a Leader !

  No offense to those who think Obama is not a bad person, just a bad POTUS. I am convinced he is a bad person also. He identifies with radicals, racists, communists, terrorists and people of bad character and integrity. He is a pathological liar and deceitful. Most of his policies since 2009 have been to misrepresent America, bad mouth America or help diminish an already poor economy. He does what is best for him, not for his country and is a selfish egocentric person. Despite the left touting his intelligence, it is obvious he is not because he is choosing not to show his college transcripts and records which could only indicate they are either less than average or non-existent. I don’t want a D student as POTUS no more than I want a guy who barely passed astrophysics running NASA. Yes, there are good managers who were not so good students but typically they do not command at the highest levels because there are too many smart people who are good leaders.

And if he is re-elected after this time being vetted it will because the media has continued to cover-up the Fraud. The biggest Hoax ever perpetrated against the American People!

  Obum can’t handle intellectual activities. Someone else did his college work, wrote his books and gives him oral recaps of all meetings he skips (most). Obum can read a teleprompter well, provided he practices his speech beforehand. Sometimes, he gets too lazy and doesn’t check the speech for “big words.” That’s when the errors happen.

Seems to be a simple choice for the wonderful leader: he chooses ignorance over intelligence any day for any problem, but when you’ve been deified by unquestioning followers, and believe your own press clippings, then the attitude becomes all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-wise.

From what I have heard, all Obama does is watch ESPN and other shows on tv when he is actually in the White House. I’m not at all surprised that he doesn’t attend most of the meetings.
He has Valerie to do his work for him, and he pays her handsomely. It’s no wonder why he sealed ALL his school records. He probably scrimped by and had other people do his work for him, while he choomed.

  Three possibilities:
  
  He does not care about the intel information; as he continues on his crusade to crush and collapse the nation once and for all into a communist system with him at the helm.
  
  He could indeed know of a pending war or strike coming, that will enable him to carry out with greater force and effect the above mentioned plans of his for the nation.
  
  The more likely one is his continuing contempt of the Republic government, the narcissism he has, and his growing insanity are being shown more and more clearly with each passing day; when he goes over the edge into complete madness, he will be capable of doing any monsterous plans he can conceive of.

  Dear Kick, what do you read in this;
  
  Some say that the big O will never get out of office and others think R&R will produce a landslide…Somethings been bugging me about both theories, then I ran into this one:
  How Oblamo can win the election by means of a law called NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE or NPV, that is slowly creeping through the state legislatures to easily win all the 270 electoral votes required. It sent shivers up my spine on its subtly and cleverness. We won’t know what hit us and it will all be legal and a permanent progressive nightmare. You see it means to give the left/dem leaning larger cities the power to over rule the sub urban areas and virtually rob them of their conservative leaning votes. Cities like New York and Los Angeles will over rule any conservatives….etc. A critical number of states have already adopted it and it’s just a matter of time until enough do. Once that happens the big cities will call all future elections. See the link below.

  Maybe all hell will break loose pre, mid or post election and BO is PO’d history will color him as the 1st black president on whose watch the United States imploded. Not an impressive legacy to leave especially if you’re a narcissist.

  I understand completely, even if Romney gets enough of the electorial college votes; there will still be the inevitable SCOTUS challenges from all corners by the Democrats, and the final tally by the Senate (under Reids control) that has to certify the total. Either of these can still give Obama the win despite the desires of the people.
  
  Failing that, as may of us expect, Obama may go for broke, nullify the elections and declare martial law on some manufactured reasons for a full scale coup and his dictatorship.

  Saying Owebowma and intelligence in the same sentence is an oxymoron. Regardless, he is putting the USA at grave risk by doing this. His command decisions can’t possibly be made with any responsible judgement while lacking the information needed to make any rational decision. He is the purest form of a traitor and violating his oath of office at the same time. Wait. I believe we have the Manchurian candidate.
