How long had it been since President Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting in the lead-up to the Sept. 11 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Egypt and Libya? After all, our adversaries are known to use the anniversary of 9/11 to target the United States. According to the public schedule of the president, the last time the Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting was Sept. 5 — a week before Islamist radicals stormed our embassy in Cairo and terrorists killed our ambassador to Tripoli. 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. But instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.

I’m sure President Jarrett attended.
But, but...he’s so smart he doesn’t need someone else to tell him anything, he knows it all.
(/s, but you all knew that)
Chill... he gets all his intel on twitter./s
If he doesn't attend briefings, he has plausible deniability.
Call me a conspiracy nut, but I'm very suspicious.
This president, you see, does not need briefers. He can forgo his daily intelligence meeting because he is, in Vietor’s words, “among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet.”
So, did Zer0 check in to a PDB video-conference today, Thursday, or was he too busy waking up from last night’s adoration whilst cleaning his clubs???
Intelligence meetings are a waste of this President’s time. It’s impossible to educate a man who already knows it all.
We have been cracking up for like 15 minutes over this
Undoubtedly the reason he doesn’t go to the intelligence meetings, or to meet with the economic advisers, or to meet with his Cabinet, is that he thinks he already knows everything there is to be known.
When he does, very infrequently, go to these meetings he probably just sits there thinking “I already knew that. I already knew that. I already knew that”. Followed by “I wish I was golfing. I wish I was golfing. I wish I was golfing”.
I heard that about him being the best consumer of Intel in the world.
Here is the thing though. Take 2 identical people and give one of them a briefing in paper or powerpoint format and give the other one a live briefing.
Which one do you think would have a better understanding?
The one who attended a real live briefing would have way more grasp of the current situation. If you are in a briefing (and you are the president) you would be able to ask questions and focus on things you find important.
If your the one who had to read the brief, your level of reading comprehension will affect what you know when your done reading. And, while you can get answers you need if you had questions when reading, you could get them instantly from Intel Experts if you were in the live Intel briefing.
Look at it this way, what if the briefing was 50 pages long and you read it vs. someone getting a live briefing from someone who put that written report together.
BOTTOM LINE:
DID PRESIDENT OBAMA DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO SAFEGUARD AMERICANS? DID HE DO HIS BEST?
IF OBAMA DID NOT DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THIS HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FOR THIS!
You must be under the impression that Hussein actually gives a damn! An American Ambassador is murdered, his body defiled and dragged through the streets and what did the 0bama regime do? Apologized and went to a fund raiser in Vegas! He is disgusting gutter scum!
Possibly another reason he skips the intel meetings is that he doesn’t want to hear world events framed from a security of the U.S. perspective. He probably secretly abhors the idea of looking out for U.S. interests.
Whats his thing? A popsicle stick up the ass?

Yes!! The guy who can't put a sentence together without his teleprompter is that smart!!!
Discussing all this with intel experts & CIA analysts is only a crutch that he doesn't need. Obama can go into his study - read it & absorb all the complicated topics by himself!!
Okay - you can get up off the floor & quit that insane laughing!!!!
Happy to be of service. :-)
Why doesn’t someone just say he plays for the other side?
Or better yet, he already knows exactly what is in the tube.
This arab spring thing is just one of Obama’s orchestrated, choreographed and conducted projects in building and consolidating his North African caliphate. Being muslim, he knows exactly what he is doing, and at America’s expense.
Strategically, his goal was to encapsulate Israel. Soon they will take a run at it and if they find it easy going, then they will take another run at America.
Worst part? Obama has a penchant for dictators and “rulers” and the alien/muslim feels the same should be for America. It will be a bitch prying his ass from the White House. I believe he will attempt to hang on to power at any cost.
