Obama Skipped 62.5 Percent of Intelligence Briefings This Year
President Barack Obama has only attended roughly 40 percent of his daily intelligence briefings throughout his presidency, according to the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).
According to the GAI report released Tuesday:
...The report also found President Obama’s attendance has declined slightly in his second term from 42.43 percent to 41.26 percent.
In 2014, the president has only attended 37.5 percent of his briefings. Obama attended only eight in August, despite the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS).
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Obama recently blamed the intelligence community for underestimating the terrorist threat.
