The Washington Examiner is reporting that Obama "apparently" did not know about the extent of the violence in Egypt until National Security Adviser Susan Rice informed him of it on August 15.

CNN's Jack Tapper reported that the violence that has filled world news outlets for two days and has resulted in hundreds of deaths is just now reaching the president via the individual who infamously blamed Benghazi on a YouTube video.

So much for having his advisors close by. Thought there was daily contact with them.

Watch CNN??!! Give the guy a break! He’s on vacation, from his hectic pace of campaigning and fund-raising.

And, it is widely understood that he gets his news from one source only - ESPN. Unless rioting has become a sport, he isn’t going to catch any coverage of it on ESPN.

I don’t believe this propaganda one bit. This is just some more disinformation to protect The Won politically. More leading from behind.

Just like he was “informed” on Benghazi— the video causing it and all — and Rice again. What competence.

Not an issue, President Jarrett knew about it right away.

This one made the needle on my BS meter jump clean off the gauge,

How many time have we been told that Air Force One has the latest in technology to keep the President in tune with what is happening. We all know that crews are sent ahead of Obama to establish communications where he is going. Valerie Jarret is in Martha’s Vineyard too so she certainly has to know what is going on, after all she is Obama.

Obama set this whole Egypt thing in motion Set the whole Middles east afire, and now is eating ice cream somewhere in Massachusetts.

"President" Hollowgram and the flying monkeys who control him give America another big fat middle finger.

Will there ever come a day when even the dimmest among us awake from their slumber, causing the tipping point to be reached?

Once I thought that it was only a matter of time; the thought's dimming daily.

I think you just may have the wrong take on this one.
Since Obama has not been right yet on the Arab Spring, it is probably a good thing he was not told.
My guess is, his advisers waited as long as possible before telling him.

As for his watching the news CNN or otherwise, probably not. That would take too much time away from him looking in the mirror with one of his aids telling him how great he is.

No worries. President Jarrett has known about the full extent of the violence since it began.
