Is anyone surprised by this revelation ? Our Commander Campaigner-in-Chief has made his priorities crystal clear:
How long had it been since President Obama attended his daily intelligence meeting in the lead-up to the Sept. 11 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Egypt and Libya? After all, our adversaries are known to use the anniversary of 9/11 to target the United States. 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. The president was scheduled to hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the State Department — as well he should. But instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether and attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.
On Monday the same Washington Post columnist, Marc Thiessen, reported that the president has missed 62 percent of his daily in-person intel briefings in 2011 and 2012. President Bush almost never missed a briefing after 9/11. I recognize that a president's schedule is extremely demanding, especially in the teeth of a campaign, so passing on these meetings occasionally would be understandable. I cannot, however, fathom how the president could justify canceling and not re-scheduling his intelligence briefing the day after an active US Ambassador was murdered in the line of duty , and as an international crisis continues to spread. The White House offers a two-fold defense on this: First, make snide remarks about President Bush, then insist that Obama is so sophisticated that he doesn't need experts to brief him:
Voters, are you listening? Please stop the madness.
ReplyDeleteWhy should he attend meetings? Everything to destroy America is going as planned.
ReplyDeleteSuprised? I'm not.
ReplyDeleteExactly why should he? It was repeatedly stated over and over on TV, radio and the internet by not only pundits but also members of congress, former government officials and Middle Easterns experts that Obama's Middle Eastern policy was severely flawed and Americans would be killed and turmoil was going to break out. It wasn't if, it was when, where and who would be assisinated.
ReplyDeleteThe events are going just as predicted, so why should he attend. He had to know these results of what he helped to create were going to happen. Everyone else did.
45% of Americans are proud of this man. That's how bad it is.
