When you bring a sane non-partisan open mindedness to the table, maybe you'll deserve an ear.

Stupid is as stupid does. I said "an ear", not my ear. Thanks for confirming my assumptions.

Going to intelligence briefings can be a bit overwhelming and a bit of a downer. And besides on some of these days he already fund raising and tee times scheduled and it would be a bit much to squeeze in both.
I'd much rather he be out on the course where he won't do more damage.
Even if that were true, it didn't take a genius to know that ISIS could be a threat. I could tell that just by reading the newspaper accounts of what was happening in Syria. I actually kind of assumed that Obama knew it too, which was why he was so reluctant to go in there with guns blazing after Assad crossed his "red line." For a while there I was really glad that Obama was elected over John McCain, but it turns out that Obama was just being a *****, not prescient.
The first beheading from a self-proclaimed ISIS member just took place in OK.
These aren't the droids your looking for, move on.
Really? Who was the first one? Are you thinking of the guy who beheaded a coworker? Nothing I've read says he was a ISIS member. Beheading someone does not make you a member of ISIS.
Obama has said that ISIS IS A THREAT to the US. So have members of the joint chiefs of staff. ISIS has stated that they will strike the US.
Again, when you try to rationalize and excuse Obama's gross dereliction of his duties, it makes you look ridiculous.
No POTUS in US history has been as incompetent and lazy as Obama. Tell me one other president who skipped his intelligence briefings during wartime. I would offer that even in peacetime such a terrible record is unprecedented in US history.

Bush attended less then 1% of them.
PS-attendance isn't as important then reading them, and odds are both Bush and Obama have read them regularly.

Sigh.
He was, at the very least, a self proclaimed ISIS member. He was following the plea for all lone wolfs in other countries to kill not believers..
Stop blindly defending the communist azzhole in the White House, he is corrupt and incompetent and you who worship him and continue to defend him only make yourselves look foolish..
Sigh.....

You are confusing the two people. The first one who actually did it, hasn't said any such thing. The second one is accused of saying it by his coworker.

I didn't vote for Obama. I'm no fan. We have no business sending our sons and daughters into countries that don't want us there to fight against an idea that doesn't present us a viable end goal.

Maybe you're trying to be funny and alluding to something I missed, but Bush rarely missed a PDB.
And I'll agree that reading the briefs can substitute for an in person brief - BUT - to me it's looking like he not only skipped the PDBs, he skipped reading them (or taking them seriously) altogether.
