ccording to Mr. Carney, Mr. Obama doesn't need in-person briefings because the president gets the written version on his iPad:
He gets it every day, okay? The President of the United States gets the presidential daily briefing every day. There is a document that he reads every day when he is not -- well, he always reads it every day because he’s a voracious consumer of all of his briefing materials.
But now, in an apparent 180-degree reversal, the White House official calendar shows that for the last four days Mr. Obama has ditched his iPad and has instead opted for the live briefings.
That's a good thing. As Mr. Thiessen explains, the live briefings are far preferred over the written daily intel reports, because they offer presidents and their advisors an opportunity to drill down into intelligence threats and to challenge assumptions. "This process cannot be replicated on paper," says Mr. Thiessen.
He should have been doing this all along. This story just shows how incompetent Barack has been.
Oh wait, this is important. I think they found another Romney prank story from 45 years ago that is front page news every where.
Bush went to his briefings every day and 9/11 happened.
Obama doesn't, and Bin Laden is dead.
It appears these briefings are a tad overrated.
Obama didn't get Osama. The Seals did along with intel that Obama didn't like how we obtained it.
And what a foolish statement to make. You only make that statement due to what has happened recently. The fact is, Barack thought he was smarter than everyone else. Our government ignored warnings and people died. Then Barack started getting Live briefings again with experts.
I doubt that there are many times that he is even the smartest guy in the car.
