Why is Obama skipping more than half of his daily intelligence meetings?

The PowerPoint slides probably don't change at his briefings either.

I'm picturing a Clint Eastwood type talking to an empty chair in the oval office...

Haqqani network... might be good, might be bad
US Veterans... might be bad, might be good
Pakistan... hates us, lets give them a billion dollars
Israel... they love us, fuck Israel
Now...
If these are the type of policy discussions your cabinet and key policy advisory team members are working on, would any of YOU be hitting all of the briefings?
I wouldn't. I'd be out playing golf, or hitting on biker chicks.
Thats why HE is the POTUS and you are not. Some guys know how to delegate authority, some guys don't.

As TR said, he thinks he already knows everything and the only thing those damn meetings do is contradict that, thus, don't go and don't be contradicted.

Who has a dawg is in the fight
This is another one of those "Who has a dawg is in the fight" stories.
I seem to recall back when Bush was going out to his Ranch the left slammed him for being out of touch to which the right replied along the lines of he never travels alone and has key people around him - plus all that modern electronic communications stuff.
If you don't get upset when your guy does it don't get upset when the other guy does it.
PS - Although I do feel the President may be a little detached from the "operations" side of things.

Pete, I do believe that President Bush still listened to his daily reports at his ranch. Obama is just blowing them off.
