Obama, unlike his predecessors who traditionally had the document briefed to them, is known to personally read the daily brief.

I don't believe this, and think it was thrown out to make him look more knowledgeable and involved than most presidents. Remember, he attends no more than half of his intelligence meetings, and he seems to find out about many things after he reads them in the newspaper.

Yeah...

But it’s not his fault.

No one told him it would be important to pay attention.

Well it should be obvious to the most casual observer that Obummer has only his own interests at heart.

Obama created ISIS.

Armed them.

IS/ISIL/ISIS are Obama’s “children”.
Obama is protective of them.

Whether he actually reads the briefs or not, making people think that he does only leaves him more culpable.

I believe the claim. He obviously does not want to sit through a briefing about something he cares zip about (or worse, he actually is supporting the enemy which he is being briefed about). So sure - he asks for the document and says he'll read it (during the commercial breaks on whatever he's watching on ESPN).

This doesn’t mean he read his daily briefing. “Reading it himself” doesn’t mean he’s the smartest guy in the room. It means he didn’t care enough to be briefed and simply said, “Send me a memo.” ... on our national security.

How do we know he reads them? Because he tells us he does? Or we assume he does? A good opportunity for a political cartoon here, if it weren’t so frightening.

This doesn’t surprise me. How many issues did he hear about well in advance and did nothing? He heard about all the problems on the Obamacare website and did nothing. He is lazy and in over his head. He doesn’t know what to do. You could tell him two or three years in advance and he still would not know what to do.

“Obama, unlike his predecessors who traditionally had the document briefed to them, is known to personally read the daily brief. The former Pentagon official, who has knowledge of the process, said Obama generally was not known to come back to the intelligence community with further requests for information based on the daily report”

He said he read it. Yeah Right more like he faked it. Then never asked follow-up questions

That is because Obama is a loyal Muslim and a direct and dangerous enemy of America.

No doubt he’s cheering them on and hoping they’ll attack America in some variety of truly vicious manner.

Ha!

Bush at some point probably told him not to worry about it — that Islam was a “religion of peace.”
