The U.S. intelligence community warned President Obama about instability in Egypt late last year, according to a CIA official.
Stephanie O'Sullivan, the President's nominee for principal deputy director of national intelligence who currently serves as associate deputy director of the CIA, told the Senate intelligence committee Thursday that the agency briefed Obama. She did not indicate how specific the information they provided was.
"We warned of instability but not exactly where it would come from [and in what form]," she said. "That happened at the end of last year."
The committee was considering O'Sullivan's nomination, and O'Sullivan was responding to a question from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) about what the president knew about the expected unrest in Egypt and when he knew it.
Wyden was not satisfied by O'Sullivan's answer and said he wanted more specifics about exactly when Obama was informed about how serious the situation was in Egypt.
But O'Sullivan said she was not directly involved in providing exact information about presidential briefings and her duties involve "a more general understanding of what was going on."
The answer did not placate Wyden who immediately grew testy.
"You were told yesterday I was going to ask this question," he insisted.
"Not in this detail," she responded.

Obama’s people have been in on this “revolution” since at least December 2008, if not earlier.
and why would Odumbo be bothered when he’s playing golf or eating ice cream?
It is going to be interesting to see what the Friday news dump is going to be huh?
Whereupon Obama made every effort to support radical Islam against anyone and everyone who is a friend of Israel and the United States. Let’s book’em for treason!
This is probably the first step of the CIA covering its backside..Yup we told him, what he does with it, is his job.
So why so long in getting their act together in the WH.
Honestly, what is it that the US government was supposed to have done here in the past 6-8 months?
Did the CIA not know that our own government was training the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood “democracy” revolution?
That warning was probably more like: Dear Reader, our preparation for the Islamic Marxist Kingdom will be launching at any time now. Be ready to act surprised.
He was too busy trying to ...”Plug the hole” then.
Exactly my thought - he was on vacation
So he sent Ayers over to exacerbate the unrest on behalf of the muslim brotherhood.
you left off kissed their butts, declared his loyalty and donated 20 million for guns against Israel..
He was singing "Hide The Decline."
O is doing what he always has done, vote “present”. There are a half-dozen cabinet members who he hasn’t met with ... at all! Not one call or one meeting since he has been in office.

He has plenty of time to watch the Superbowl with J Lo, play basketball, golf and go on vacation. Party at the White House!
He was too busy on his 2012 campaigning to be bothered with trivia like that.
Now that the CIA has more backing in Congress, they can afford to shed some light on Obama's shenanigans.
More data please...
I hope there are some patriots in the F.B.I., C.I.A., or the Military who will soon drop the dime on Obama before it is too late.
