Attkisson: Obama Won't Read Intelligence on Groups He Doesn't Consider 'Terrorists'

Emmy-winning television journalist Sharyl Attkisson told Newsmax TV on Wednesday that her sources say that President Barack Obama does not read intelligence reports from his staff on jihadist groups that he does not consider terrorists.

"I have talked to people who have worked in the Obama administration who firmly believe he has made up his mind — closed his mind, they say — to their intelligence that they've tried to bring him about various groups that he does not consider terrorists, even if they are on the U.S. list of designated terrorists," Attkisson told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview.

"He has his own ideas, and there are those who've known him a long time who say this dates back to law school," she said. "He does not necessarily listen to the people with whom he disagrees."

"He seems to dig in — and why I would suppose is because he thinks he's right. He is facing formidable opposition on this particular point."

Attkisson said the sources could not explain Obama's reasoning for his approach to terrorism intelligence.

"I've only been told by those who have allegedly attempted to present him, or have been in the circle that has attempted to present him, with certain intelligence that they said he doesn't want it," she told Malzberg. "He said he doesn't want it or he won't read it, in some instances."
