When Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen and the Government Accountability Institute reported that President Obama has attended less than half of his Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs) on intelligence, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called the findings "hilarious." The next day, U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American staff members were murdered.

According 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.


After four Americans were murdered and Mr. Obama's foreign policy approval rating plunged, Mr. Obama has now decided to actually start showing up for his daily presidential intelligence briefings

Good. iPads and Apple devices in general have incredible security issues.

"We" being everybody else's kids or loved ones. Certainly not his own, and most likely not those of his rich buddies - you know, the Nascar and football team owners or his rich campaign donors - like Sheldon Adelson.

Let me fill you in on some recent news, since you obviously must've been in a coma for a few weeks.

We had an Ambassador and other murdered by terrorists a couple weeks ago. We had warning, it was the 9/11 Anniversary. That particular town over there, Benghazi, was known by Intel people to be a hot bed for recruiting terrorists. The Ambassador had also felt his life was in danger and their was a bounty on his head.
So despite what you've been not hearing in the news about it, since you woke up from your coma, this had nothing to do with a movie, Al Qaeda is alive and well and recruiting, and we did not take the proper steps to ensure our people were safe.

First Ambassador killed since the Carter administration. Only during a liberal Presidential term, does this story get to go away so quickly, with only ONE media outlet asking this Admin the tough questions, Univision.

We all know damn well, if this happened under a GOP President, and the lies/cover up that followed, that POTUS would have been destroyed for weeks and weeks. Not so with Barack. No liberal here can defend that.

Just goes to show that the president's actions can be swayed by public opinion. How un-dictatorial!
