The Leader in Chief or LIC calls for clams.
He got a call today?
He could have been on FR and been following it
since wednesday.
Baaaaah.
Why do we even pay the guy?

BO doesn't bother with intelligence briefings. Remember from the campaign and Mitt was too scared to really call him on it. He really is just the speech reader president. They (Jarrett) tells him exactly what to say in public and how to act. He goes out and performs and goes back to partying and playing golf while these other people take care of the country's business.

I have seen their signs and heard their interviews... they sure do hate him.

This is what da peeps wanted, our first Affirmative Action President. M

This kind of stuff apparently really bores Obama.

Nobody seems to care that he is completely clueless and not particularly seeking one.

[Billthedrill]

If Jake Tapper is right, then the president would be well-served to seek information from other sources besides Susan Rice

There's always FR. Stand by for a n00B with the nick "DeathToAmericaYouLousyCrackers". Be gentle.

I learned about it Wednesday.

I would vote for you for President, You are a natural born citizen and do meet the other criteria correct, not that it would make much of a difference.

Even His Arrogance can’t stand to watch CNN or MSNBC, but when you have Love on your mind .....

They should post the daily briefing just below Reggie's belly button if they want the idiot to see it. Maybe they could put another one on his back just in case they change position.

Paging moderator Caww over here

I guess she had to tell him Mr.President,Its another Video!

[Political Junkie Too]

What happened to the days when we were told that Presidents on vacation (or just away from the White House) had the entire communications apparatus with them in case of emergencies?

Or was that just when Reagan and Bush were in the White House?

Thanks don-o. Zero made the call because he found it amusing that it costs $2000 a minute to make. :')

"But this morning, the president had a phone call, a principals meeting with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry, and the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper," Tapper wrote. "It was during that briefing that the president heard about the severity of the violence in Egypt. That conversation motivated him to come out Thursday, and call for calm."

He didn't call for calm, you miserable lying POS partisan media shill!
