Report: Obama skipped intel briefings in the week leading up to Cairo and Benghazi attacks

American Thinker  "In an exclusive report, Wynton Hall writes in Big Peace that there is no record of President Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing, known as the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB). Readers may check for themselves the official record:
9/6/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-069/7/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-079/8/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-089/9/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-099/10/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-109/11/2012- http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president/2012-09-11
"This is not exactly unusual for the Golfer-in-chief:
According to a recent study by the Government Accountability Institute, Mr. Obama has only attended 43.8 percent of his Presidential Daily Briefs in the first 1,225 days of his Administration.

"The White House's response marks a new low in relations between Netanyahu and Obama, underscored by the fact that this is the first time Netanyahu will visit the U.S. as prime minister without meeting Obama; PM to meet with Clinton."

President Barack Obama will be visiting one of his biggest fans soon - late night talker David Letterman.
"The president will chat with the "Late Show" host during a trip to New York City next week, according to the National Journal. Letterman's nightly monologues mostly spare the president from satirical ribbing, saving his most cutting remarks for the Romneys ... or even former President George W. Bush.
"The news comes on the same day Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he couldn't meet with him due to a scheduling conflict.
"The interview will be the second Obama has had with Letterman since the comic made a crude, demeaning joke about former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's daughter."
