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

Is he off somewhere cutting brush a month at a time?

IS HIS GOLF CART GEARED UP LIKE GWs RANCH?

Well Ubama believes since his golf cart is moving forward he must be doing so too.

President's Daily Brief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

non-issue

I get what you're saying, but Bush had a meeting six days a week and then scheduled additional meetings for more in-depth analysis. Frankly, I don't think simply reading the memo is good enough as it's not interactive. And the fact that Obama is running around telling people that he's got all this national security experience rings hollow in the face of such an obvious lack of intellectual curiosity on what should be his number one priority.

According to former officials who have detailed knowledge of the PDB process, having the daily meeting — and not just reading the briefing book — is enormously important both for the president and those who prepare the brief. For the president, the meeting is an opportunity to ask questions of the briefers, probe assumptions and request additional information. For those preparing the brief, meeting with the president on a daily basis gives them vital, direct feedback from the commander in chief about what is on his mind, how they can be more responsive to his needs, and what information he may have to feed back into the intelligence process. This process cannot be replicated on paper.

While the Bush records are not yet available electronically for analysis, officials tell me the former president held his intelligence meeting six days a week, no exceptions — usually with the vice president, the White House chief of staff, the national security adviser, the director of National Intelligence, or their deputies, and CIA briefers in attendance. Once a week, he held an expanded Homeland Security briefing that included the Homeland Security adviser, the FBI director and other homeland security officials. Bush also did more than 100 hour-long “deep dives” in which he invited intelligence analysts into the Oval Office to get their unvarnished and sometimes differing views. Such meetings deepened the president’s understanding of the issues and helped analysts better understand the problems with which he was wrestling.

The guy in the article makes up his "facts," that has already been established.

Put down the shovel.

obama skips intelligence briefings because when he's told they are intelligence briefings, he hears the word intelligence and think it doesn't apply to him.

What on Earth would Obama take away from an intelligence meeting?
