White House Admits Obama Skips Most Intelligence Briefings
Tuesday, 11 Sep 2012
By Martin Gould
President Barack Obama has missed more than half of his daily intelligence briefings since he came into power, a new report shows.
Obama has been to less than 44 percent of the vital meetings, the White House admits, with his attendance reaching a low spot towards the end of 2011 and the start of this year.
His predecessor, George W, Bush made a point of having the meetings six days a week, and attending as many as possible, the American Enterprise Institute fellow, Marc Thiessen reports in the Washington Post.
Obama’s attendance figures were prepared by the conservative Government Accountability Institute, and were not disputed by the White House. At one point he was attending fewer than two meetings out of five.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Thiessen that Obama’s attendance at the meetings was “not particularly interesting or useful,” as he received written daily briefings. “The president gets the information he needs from the intelligence community every day,” Vietor said.
However, in January, the Post published an article, in which security officials stressed the importance of the daily meetings. “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,” that piece said.
Thiessen’s Op-Ed says that the president’s personal attendance at the briefings “is enormously important both for the president and those who prepare the brief.”
“For the president, the meeting is an opportunity to ask questions of the briefers, probe assumptions and request additional information,” Thiessen writes.
“For those preparing the brief, meeting with the president on a daily basis gives them vital, direct feedback from the commander in chief about what is on his mind, how they can be more responsive to his needs, and what information he may have to feed back into the intelligence process.”
Thiessen adds, “This process cannot be replicated on paper.”

If so Obama is not acting as a pres. He spends time campaigning and misses Intelligence briefings. WTF. Go fuck yourself Obama

Snorting coke? Really?

Snorting coke? Really?
Yes. Obama used to abuse coke
-
Yes. Obama used to abuse coke
Maybe "Fast and Furious" was an exchange program. Weapons for coke.
-
Fast and Furious was supposed to create more support for gun control in the US. The weapons would go to Mexico, be used to kill lots of people and then when the bad guys were nabbed with the US purchased guns, the anti-gun lobby in America could point to the use of US purchased weapons by drug cartels in Mexico as a rationale to toughen gun laws. The first two things happened...the third...not so much.
So, in the end , the US government creates a program to export weapons to dangerous criminals who use them to destabilize their government and further their criminal enterprises. Congrats to Obama and Eric Holder!!! They've officially made the USA the home of State sponsored terrorism in the Western hemisphere...

Libya Aftermath: Commander-in-Chief Attends Vegas Campaign Rally
Townhall.com ^ | September 12, 2012 | Guy Benson
Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2012 8:44:25 AM
Since our beloved media has chosen to go wall-to-wall with their absurd "gaffy-horserace-optics" meta narrative, might they also get the vapors over what our sitting Commander-in-Chief is up to tonight? Do me a favor and go read (or re-read) these posts. How many urgent, distressing, open questions still remain in this ongoing crisis, as the American death toll climbs to six? With all that in mind, ta-da:
President Barack Obama’s Wednesday afternoon speech in Las Vegas is being delayed by about 45 minutes, according to the White House. Obama had been scheduled to speak at 5:25 p.m. at a campaign rally at the Cashman Center in downtown Las Vegas. He will now deliver his speech at 6:10 p.m., according to an updated schedule released Wednesday morning. The president was forced to alter his schedule to comment on a Tuesday attack on the American Embassy in Libya that killed four people, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, the White House Press Office said. No other event details have changed, and doors will still open to the public at 3 p.m., according to an Obama campaign official. Wednesday’s visit will be Obama’s eighth trip to Nevada this year.
A 45 minute speech delay. That's it. Carry on, Mr. President -- we all know campaigning is really, really important. (Also, this happened). Incidentally, is anyone slightly more interested in this story now? On Monday, the Associated Press reported that Obama was briefed on US preparedness abroad for potential 9/11 fallout:
The White House said Monday the president and his advisers discussed specific measures the administration was taking to prevent 9/11-related attacks. They also discussed steps that were being taken to protect Americans abroad and U.S. forces serving in combat zones.
So, how did that turn out? I'm not trying to score cheap points here -- I'm certain the president is mortified by what happened -- but I am holding a mirror up to the press. If they're experiencing fainting spells over Mitt Romney's response to the first round of last night's dreadful news, they might show some interest in the behavior, decisions, and policies of the person currently presiding over the United States government. Just a thought. Speaking of Romney's "mistake," Foreign Policy's The Cable reports that the State Department rejected the Cairo embassy statement prior to publication, but it went up anyway:
"The statement was not cleared with anyone in Washington. It was sent as ‘This is what we are putting out,'" the official said. "We replied and said this was not a good statement and that it needed major revisions. The next email we received from Embassy Cairo was ‘We just put this out.'" A heated discussion ensued among State Department and White House officials over e-mail as the controversy over the statement grew Tuesday evening, even grabbing the attention of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, those same officials were dealing with a more serious attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that resulted in the death of four American officials, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. "People at the highest levels both at the State Department and at the White House were not happy with the way the statement went down. There was a lot of anger both about the process and the content," the official said.
"Frankly, people here did not understand it. The statement was just tone deaf. It didn't provide adequate balance. We thought the references were inappropriate, and we strongly advised against the kind of language that talked about ‘continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.'" Despite being aware of Washington's objections, the embassy continued to defend the statement for several hours, fueling the controversy over it, a decision the official again attributed to Schwartz. "Not only did they push out the statement but they continued to engage on Twitter and retweet it," the official said. "[Schwartz] would have been the one directing folks to engage on Twitter on this." At approximately 10:30 p.m. Washington time, Clinton issued a statement on both the Libya and Egypt attacks that included a reference to religious tolerance as well as an emphasis on the administration's condemnation of the embassy attack.
So according to the Washington Post's timeline of events, it took the Obama administration roughly 16 hours to clean up the mess created by (apparently) a rogue operator within the Cairo embassy, even as that person or persons Tweeted several re-affirmations of the rejected missive. Meanwhile, there was "a lot of anger" at the White House over the "process and content" of the statement -- which Mitt Romney shared and articulated forcefully. This, apparently, was an "outrage" of some sort, prompting the Obama campaign to condemn Romney before the president had personally assailed the Cairo attack. But who's politicizing this, again? Mitt Romney saw an unacceptable statement from an official administration source in Egypt and called it out -- after expressing outrage over the multiple attacks on our diplomatic missions. The White House agreed that the statement was unacceptable, but couldn't control its actors. That's a problem, alright, but it ain't Romney's. I'll leave you with a clip of a Romney foreign policy advisor totally dismantling an Obama surrogate on CNN this evening:
UPDATE - Must read: Phil Klein's take-down of the media's partisan and corrupt behavior today.
UPDATE II - Oh my. Obama says he doesn't consider Egypt an ally. AP knows what's up.
UPDATE III - So, the president just compared his campaign volunteers to the US diplomats murdered in Libya. Really:
President Obama told his campaign volunteers in Nevada that he is “really proud” of them after comparing them to the U.S. ambassador and embassy staff murdered in Libya. “And obviously are hearts are broken for the families but I wanted to encourage those folks at the State Dept. that they were making a difference,” Obama told volunteer leaders in Las Vegas, according to the pool report. “The sacrifices that our troops and our diplomats make are obviously very different from the challenges that we face here domestically but like them, you guys are Americans who sense that we can do better than we’re doing….I’m just really proud of you.”
Obama, during his talk with the volunteers, described his visit to the State Department today. “I had a chance to go to the State Dept. to comfort some of the friends and co-workers of the the folks who had fallen and I reminded them that as hard as things are sometimes, as difficult as change is that if we’re resolute, if we don’t give up, if we don’t give in, if we don’t become cynical, if we continue to be realistic about how hard change is but also keep in our hearts that sense of idealism and sense of purpose then over time good things happen,” he said.

President Obama Skips Intel. Briefing One Day After Embassy Attacks, Media Silent on the Issue
NewsBusters ^
Posted on Friday, September 14, 2012 11:27:01 AM
In the wake of the embassy attacks in Cairo and Benghazi that left four people dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, you would think the White House would be on crisis alert. After all, when members of the American Foreign Service come under threat, with one being assassinated– it is comforting to have a commander-in-chief executing his leadership to make sure the situation is under control. Apparently, that isn’t the case in the Obama White House and the national news media don't seem to mind.
As reported today by Marc A. Thiessen of The Washington Post, “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.” However, the president decided to forgo on rescheduling his planned briefing because he needed to “attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.”

But I know that Obama is hard at work crafting a response...he has to figure out some way to blame this on Bush.

Obama visits DNC headquarters
By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 9/14/12 4:21 PM EDT
President Obama is spending some time Friday afternoon at the Democratic National Committee's headquarters on Capitol Hill.
Obama campaign traveling press secretary Jen Psaki said the president would "attend political meetings" at the DNC.
The political sessions come after a day of official events: the Transfer of Remains Ceremony for four Americans killed in Libya and a celebration of U.S. Olympians on the South Lawn of the White House.
In the evening, Obama will attend a closed-press fundraiser...

EXCLUSIVE: OBAMA REVERSES POSITION ON INTEL BRIEFS, DROPS IPAD FOR LIVE MEETINGS

EXCLUSIVE: OBAMA REVERSES POSITION ON INTEL BRIEFS, DROPS IPAD FOR LIVE MEETINGS
Wynton Hall
When Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen and the Government Accountability Institute reported that President Obama has attended less than half of his Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs) on intelligence, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called the findings "hilarious." The next day, U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American staff members were murdered.
According to Mr. Carney, Mr. Obama doesn't need in-person briefings because the president gets the written version on his iPad:
He gets it every day, okay? The President of the United States gets the presidential daily briefing every day. There is a document that he reads every day when he is not -- well, he always reads it every day because he’s a voracious consumer of all of his briefing materials.
......
Still, Mr. Carney owes Mr. Thiessen an apology. Carney said Thiessen's report was "hilarious" and flippantly dismissed the need for Mr. Obama to attend live intelligence briefings. Then, after four Americans were murdered and Mr. Obama's foreign policy approval rating plunged, Mr. Obama has now decided to actually start showing up for his daily presidential intelligence briefings....
