White House officials began their Saturday at 4 a.m. in Hawaii — 9 a.m. on the clock in Washington — to prepare with counterparts across the government a briefing for Obama. National Security Council chief of staff Denis McDonough in Hawaii, homeland security and counterterrorism adviser John Brennan and others in Washington spoke with Obama at 6:20 a.m. by secure telephone conference call at the first family's rented vacation home.
Thecall lasted less than 15 minutes. Obama left immediately afterward for a trip to the gym.
Other traveling administration aides also were kept in a secure hotel room to receive briefings from investigators, to monitor developments, to feed updates to the president and to coordinate across agencies. Regular updates were sent to the president, who — despite being on holiday — made decisions to continue increased security precautions he put in place after Friday's incident.
Officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss delicate situation and to describe the president's private schedule.

The press sure does seem worried we might not appreciate how much the president cares.

SO THEY COULD GET THE BEST ACLU LAWYER TO DEFFEND THE ALLEGED TERRORIST.
The press is going nuts trying to cover for our boy-king.
Any word on why the 3 hr wait to notify Barry about the attack?

It does not appear Barack Hussein Obama bowing to his majesty the King of Saudi Arabia had much impact upon his Muslin Brethren.
Caesar “fiddled while Rome burned”, obama plays gulf after a terrorist strikes an American plane.
Not much difference between the two when it comes to caring about the people they’re supposed to be protecting.
But then, that must be above obama’s pay grade.
Yes, the word is the MSM has decided that it just didn't happen that way.
Obama is America’s First Failed Black Pres-dent.....
Seems to be a Delegater in Chief.
Some presidents are better at this than others.
The obamedia has become a joke.
Hope and Change you can believe in!
.
Concern...not so much.
God forbid he’d get his ass on a plane and come back to Washington to deal with a terrorist attack, any more that might be planned, etc.
A quite generous guesstimate would be 13 minutes.

Refresh my memory....what was Bush doing on the morning of 9-11? What did he keep doing after learning of the first incident?
