President Obama is touting his foreign policy experience on the campaign trail, but startling new statistics suggest that national security has not necessarily been the personal priority the president makes it out to be.

Possibly because they are not held on the golf course? Another reason is with all the liberals that claim he is the smartest man ever he likely doesn't think he needs any more intelligence.

The President gets daily state department briefs, and in general...historically....tend to believe that’s all they need to view the world.

I will note this. By the time you get state department briefs, FBI briefs, Homeland Security briefs, CIA briefs, DIA briefs, and even agricultural briefs....you probably are inundated with information and unable to balance what to remember or how to use the info. Imagine watching CNN, CSPAN, ESPN, Fox News, and the Oprah Channel....all on a continual hour-by-hour basis, and then trying to decipher what is important.

Other presidents have done it. Obama is going to get a bunch of Americans killed right here in CONUS.
