No Record of Intel Briefings for Obama Week Before Attacks
According to the White House calendar, there is no public record of President Barack Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing-known as the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB)-in the week leading up to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American members of his staff:

The last time prior to the slayings that the White House calendar publicly confirms Mr. Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing was September 5th. (The White House did not provide an official public calendar for September 8-10.) Mr. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta at 5:00 p.m. yesterday.
According to a recent study by the Government Accountability Institute, Mr. Obama has only attended 43.8 percent of his Presidential Daily Briefs in the first 1,225 days of his Administration.
The White House responded by claiming that President Obama reads daily intelligence reports, even if he does not attend the briefings personally.

So, according to the White House, Obama READS the National Security Briefing, also known as the Presidential Daily Brief. He doesn’t attend, in fact, has missed several just prior to the latest Embassy attacks, but HE READS THEM.
Yeah, and we can have this confirmed just HOW exactly?
The White House, ie: Jay Carney, is not going to tell you the truth about Obama and his activities. They are not going to tell you that Obama is too busy insulting Israel, playing golf and making his way across America BEGGING his base to give him another 4 years, additional time that he can use to further destroy America and everything we ever stood for.
Even if Obama DID attend these briefings, would he actually listen and understand any of the information being discussed? Could he absorb the idea that America is in danger of Islamic attack without jumping for joy?
I will say this as plainly, and as civilly as I possibly can; Barack Hussein Obama is, at best, a part time President and highly ineffectual President, and he has got to go, Obama must be removed from American politics and never allowed to return.
EVERY president attends the morning PDB. It provides the president with the daily information VITAL to making decisions for that given day.
Mr Obama is completely DISENGAGED from the nation, its interests, and its people. He cannot be BOTHERED with the “small stuff” like this when, by God, he has a campaign to run.
It is a political axiom that you respond to words with words, and to actions with actions.
Mr Obama is clearly a man of no action.

To clarify: As you and I both believe, Mr Obama is shockingly DISENGAGED from his office, and DISINTERESTED in doing anything other than sitting in his current seat for four more years.
You have the gravest information in front of you, as POTUS, daily — via the PDB — information that sometimes costs lives to acquire. And you don’t even have the fortitude, courage or the slightest scrap of INTEREST to even ACT as if you gave a shite?
ALSO: people are unveiling information that the attacks were both 1) coordinated and 2) militaristic in nature in terms of planning, execution and equipment/weapons utilized. This attack was not about “protests” — it was a planned event waiting for the 9/11 opportunity.
No damned surprise there, I’d submit, to a clear-thinking person.
Mr Obama, you are entirely a geometric level BEYOND reprehensible. You will do everything POSSIBLE to disavow what is directly in front of your face.
Those four people were SACRIFICED on the altar of your INDIFFERENCE.

A presidency that will live in infamy …
I am not sure if he is nuts or just a wacko Commie…. either way, he is a menace more dangerous than any other in memory.
This douche-in-chief is a disgrace.
I don’t think he can comprehend the danger this nation is in. Failure to attend his daily Intel briefings only shows he lacks the interest in securing this nation. Can’t allow National Security to get in the way of campaigning.
Why am I not surprised that Obama isn’t doing his job? He’s too busy campaigning!
Now you and I both know that to attend Intelligence Briefings would take time out of:
His golf game
Campaigning
Play Basketball
Going to Celebrity Fund Raisers
Intelligence and the running of government is not important.
Left out blaming Bush…
Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding the Benghazi attack that killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans:
“Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans are now dead in the chaos of a destabilized Middle East. President Obama said he “rejects” these brutal acts, and condemns them in “the strongest terms” - yet still acknowledges our attackers’ supposed justification. This kind of language broadcasts an impotent foreign policy that fostered this crisis in the first place.
“Muammar Qadaffi was an evil oppressor who murdered innocent Americans. But in the naïve belief that America could “lead from behind” in the operation to remove him, this President allowed Libyan rockets and artillery to be scattered to the terrorist winds and had no plan to secure the country. Now we have these brazen attacks on our mission in Benghazi, and the violent death of our ambassador.
“Combined with President Obama’s shameful lack of leadership in Egypt that culminated in the burning of our flag in our own embassy in Cairo yesterday, it is no wonder our enemies in the region are emboldened and our allies are afraid.
“All Americans join together in mourning the tragic loss of our Foreign Service personnel in Benghazi yesterday, and extending our deepest sympathies to their families. We must now act decisively to secure our surviving people in the region, prevent further senseless bloodshed and defend American interests abroad.”
