Why is Obama skipping more than half of his daily intelligence meetings?

#16  Bull and poopy, wr.

CiC ought not affect the day-to-day fight. He needs to focus on the strategic picture. That is not something the intel can do much more than inform.

Lashing the commander in chief to worthless daily intel briefs makes our kids less safe for the benefit of showing that he is willing to waste time for a political show.

Very little that is not a decision brief should not show up in the executive mansion.

#15  Wrong Rammer. What is new today vs yesterday is how many of our kids died today because of lacck of intelligence.

If our kids are being asked to die on a daily basis on the battle field, their commander in chief is supposed to keep his ass involved in intelligence briefings every day as well.

#14  Sorry to defect on this one. Routine daily intel briefings are a waste of time. Cool Calvin Coolidge did not spend hours a day listening to some spooky freak.

These daily briefings are an attempt by the intel community to dominate the attention of the President, who truly has more important things to do.

If I were President I would begin any such meeting with the question, "Why is this info more important than whatever the heck you told me yesterday?" And if they didn't have a good answer, I would throw them out of the office on their ass.

Obama Administration-Holly Wood And Chicago 1950's to present the same ! Atheists and Communists
Famous ghoul unloading giving Gods soldiers a pep talk in Afghanistan a communist ghoul Obama's closest adviser.
DNC convention crapping on God and booing God
Anyone who has fought communism or lost friends or family or has themselves become hurt or crippled should really examine what is running OUR COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND! The War Is In Our Country and all have been made to look for the boogey man in other places!

#8  He really does not care for his job. He just likes the lime light.

#7  Because he's only got half Bush's intelligence.

#6  My concern is for whomever the brave individual was in the intel community that leaked this. Champ really lets Axelrod and Jarret run the country while he works on his BBall and bowling, but God help the traitor who leaks that the President doesn't give a crap about his actual job, just the cool stuff and giving adoring crowds speeches. This is sooooo much like the fawning they did for Caligula or Nero it scary.
But then, all three are/were narcissistic children, not actual adults worthy of their place.

#5  Such meetings are beneath him, as he controls the world through the glorious crotch sniffing of his bowing.

If there was any justice in the world, he'd be a convicted traitor awaiting execution. Sadly the best we can hope for is him a life of being ignored on the lecture circuit

#1  Seems like a huge dereliction of his duties since that IS the primary reason for a COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
