Carney Says Obama Receives Daily Presidential Briefing in Person 'All The Time,' then Backtracks

At the White House briefing today, press secretary Jay Carney seemed confused when talking about how often and where President Obama's receives the presidential daily briefing:

CARNEY: “He gets his -- but what is the question? He gets his presidential daily briefing every day. He has …”

QUESTION: “The -- (inaudible) -- president speaks directly to his national security adviser. Obviously the suggestion here is that's a more efficient way of communicating than getting a written briefing. He …”

CARNEY: “No, he gets both. He does both. He does both all the time -- all the time. And when he is here in Washington, he has briefings in person in the Oval Office with his national security team regularly. And when he is on the road, he has phone conversations that supplement and augment these briefings he receives on paper that are specific to the so-called PDB. I hardly think that is different from previous presidents. And again -- well, I'll leave it at that.”

Marc A. Thiessen, earlier in the week reported, "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."

“All the time. And by ‘all’, I mean ‘some’. And by ‘some’, I mean ‘once in a while, if weather is pushing back tee time’.”

Basically in my mind, everything Carney says should be treated as a lie until absolutely proven otherwise.

how often and where President Obama's receives the presidential daily briefing

Notice the Clintonesque word usage. "Receives" covers the times Obama gets a written summary to read. Whether he understands it or has any questions is not important. The left claims he is the smartest presidential evaluator of intelligence ever. gag

Re: Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius committing a clear violation of the Hatch Act, Attorney General Holder and crew letting guns go to the Mexican cartels that kill US Agents and now Obama arrogance at being too smart to need in-person intelligence briefings--

Do any of y'all ever notice that the Democrats and their cohorts in the Mainstream Media are always touting... that they are the smartest men and women in the world--

But when they are caught doing the dumbest crap you can imagine... they never get blamed for it?

Well, call me if any of this gets on any news outlet... other than Fox News and talk radio--

Moral: Do not choose a hack at Time magazine as your mouthpiece. Carney is even worse than Bush’s dopey press secretary, McClendon.
