You are kidding, right? Personal attention and attending important and vital meetings is a part of the job.
Golf and parties Obama never misses.
People have no way of knowing if Obama reads the daily briefings. I assume he does not.
Well considering that BO had absolutely no experience in intelligence (in more ways than one) prior to entering the Oval Office I would say no.
But considering that BO is the President of the United States and again has no previous experience in intelligence or foreign policy and that he may be called upon to make high level decisions concerning national security I do want him at these daily briefings so that he can participate in the discussions that go on at these briefings.
Let us also remember that the National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor is an employee of the White House and serves at the discretion of BO and is a professional spokesman. It is his job to make BO look good. In reality he probably has no idea if BO reads the PDB or not.
So considering BO’s inexperience, his well known arrogance and self importance I would prefer that he attend as many Intelligence Briefings as possible so that should the need arise that he should have some idea of what it is that he is deciding should he ever be called upon to make a decision concerning national security.
