Obama's Skipped Intel Meetings Under Scrutiny
Breitbart ^

Posted on 09/15/2012 8:38:09 PM PDT by chessplayer

A simple three-page report by the Government Accountability Institute tallying up the number of days President Barack Obama has attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) on intelligence has ignited a firestorm of controversy that places the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three members of his staff in a new and critical light.

Now, with the Middle East ablaze, White House reporters on Friday once again pressed Mr. Carney on why Mr. Obama has attended less than half of his daily intelligence briefings, even as he makes time for parties with Beyonce and Jay-Z, as well as numerous fundraisers. According to ABC News, Mr. Carney did not dispute the GAI report's numbers or findings, but said it depends on what the definition of "attended" is:

“October surprise”. That scares me because Obama and his lemmings are capable of anything. Romney needs to strike first, if Romney and his campaign have an October surprise.

When Obama was asked whether he wanted to attend an “intelligence meeting”, he said, “No thanks. I’m intelligent enough myself so I don’t need no stinkin’ meetings.”

The news behind the news!

Wouldn’t that make a devastating ad?

The intelligence briefing room with the CIA people and an empty chair!

If wanted Iran to think the U.S. would not step if Israel made a preemptive strike on Iran I would do exactly as Obama is doing.

Or you might do this...

We don't support Israeli attack, US tells Iran

0bama sent a letter to Tehran assuring them that the U.S. will do nothing to help Israel. Taking that off of the table removes a big worry for them that might have made them think twice. Iran is good to go now with 0bama's blessing.

15 days to an “October surprise”

That would be one heck of an October surprise. Until you mentioned October surprise I was not thinking about it. Now I am going to be up all night thinking what it could be. I will finally get to bed but wake up cranky from too little sleep. My wife will ask me something, I'll snap back, that will be the last straw, she will divorce me and I will lose half of everything I own.

Thanks, Thanks alot!

The prez cares so deeply about our National security that he reads about it later after its reported. I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Pathetic!

In related news Obama issued an executive order today declaring “attend” to mean “not attend.” SCOTUS will review the order, and already the Furies have been sent to hound Chief Justice Roberts, who claims his duty is to the dignity of the court. The legal definition of “dignity” is currently being taught in law school as “doing what the president and Congress want.”

If you get a chance, this extraordinary series of videos from an intelligence specialist on the Islamic threat gives amazing detail of what Hassan specifically briefed his colleagues on in the military—including his and the other Islamists’ straightforward reading of Islamic doctrine that described when and how he would have to act exactly as he did:

It really is astounding.

I am quite sure this face was brought up last week, and their response was something along the lines that we have a very smart President. I suppose he is telepathic too.

ANYONE wanting or wishing to vote against Obummer, “Come on Down” to Wisconsin. Anyone can vote here and vote often, just ask any Demmodummie for diretions. Living here for 10 days will get you a residency and you then can have TWO states to claim and vote in.
