Something is missing. If you look at Barack Obama's calendar for 26th of April, 2011 you will see on his schedule at 10 AM "The President receives the Economic Daily Briefing," after that nothing. According to the daily schedule released by the White House, Barack Obama hasn't received his "daily" economic briefing for the past 15 months (The White House, Accessed 7/23/12).
Jay Carney was asked about it last June:
Q: Just a quick follow-up. I feel like I missed this over the course of the last few months --I might have been on vacation or something --but when did the President stop doing the daily presidential economic daily briefing?Politifact: "The RNC Said That Over The Last Six Months, Obama Has Golfed 10 Times And Held 106 Fundraisers Even As His Jobs Council Didn't Meet Once. The RNC's Tally Is On Target. We Rate This Statement True." (Politifact, "Did Barack Obama Hold 100-Plus Fundraisers While His Jobs Council Never Met?," Politifact , 7/19/12)MR. CARNEY: I think it happens periodically --
Q: But it used to be a daily thing with the PDB. I’m just curious when it stopped being a daily thing.
MR. CARNEY: I’ll have to go check. Again, it sort of happens occasionally, doesn’t happen all the time...
Obama Has Attended 185 Fundraisers Since Announcing His Bid For Reelection.
...Obama played basketball with a Batman (Clooney) and a Spiderman (Tobey Maguire), all in one game. He held a private chat in Los Angeles with some of town's young stars last week, from Jessica Alba to Jeremy Renner.
He has had some of the most popular musicians in the business perform at his fundraisers, such as Alicia Keys, Cee Lo Green, Dave Matthews and the Foo Fighters. For his gig with Obama, Jon Bon Jovi even caught a ride on Air Force One.
Not important, he cares about you.
I can see Obama saying let’s not do these things anymore until the economy gets better.
Why did Bush stop delivering this important briefing to President Obama?
We know that's bullshirt. Baraq's golfed WAY MORE than that.
how about Security briefings?
Security briefings? We have security?
Talk about blatant dereliction of duty! This fact, together with the absence of Job Council meetings, then coupled with the fund raisers, golf outings, etc., are grounds for termination of “contract.”
Anyone in the business world who would show such abysmal disregard for duties and disrespect of constituency would be given his walking papers immediately.
I would hope in the Presidential Debates (should Obama decide to show up for them), that Romney would hammer this fact home to the viewing audience and the voting public.
...wonder where we can get that calender...*smiles*
I think the man is just flat lazy and spoiled. He didn’t know being President meant you had to work, hence all the parties, golf, and absence from the White House on vacation or play time.
It’s a waste of time anyway. He said he doesn’t get ecomonics, ecomomic, the ecominy..econimony...the market stuff.
Why would he need one when the Cloward-Piven goal is to overwhelm the system?
Maybe marks the time he quits trying to pretend he is legit because they all know. Spends time entertaining, golf and fund raisers. The addition of a smiley face to the BC, is their inside joke.
bttt
Not much economically to talk about ...he’s about got these United states where he wants ‘em...
Send it to the Romney camp...
It seems like that’s their main meme...
