Here. I did the leg work for you dumb ass republicans, AGAIN.
Is President Obama Skipping Intelligence Briefings? - ABC News
While his predecessor might have preferred an oral daily briefing, Obama religiously reads a written version of the same prepared material, often on a secure iPad (as seen in this official White House PHOTO). He often receives an in-person briefing in addition, aides note, as well as real-time national security updates during the day, both in the office and on the road.
He does both all the time, all the time, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters today. 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 the briefings he receives on paper that are specific to the so-called PDB. I hardly think that is different from previous presidents.
Aides say there is no evidence to suggest an in-person briefing is any more or less efficient or effective than the presidents consuming the material electronically or in print.
The quarters from which that criticism comes are pretty clear, and who occupies those quarters is pretty clear, Carney said of Obamas critics on the right. This president is absolutely responsible and voracious consumer of the presidential daily briefing and of the information provided to him by his national security team.
The only thing you did was find a favorable source, there are many that don't attempt to spin this and don't support your contentions.
Obama knew what was going on, he KNEW that mre security had been requested and he made a conscios decision to not give it to him.
He knew the same day and yet he sent his minions out for a week trying to spin a different tal.
So are you saying that since there was not a force large enough to repel the attack on the consulate it was a failure on Obama's fault?
