Discussion: Obama Hits Trump For Not Getting Daily Intel Briefings: He's 'Flying Blind' (VIDEO)

With President Obama constitutionally unable to serve past January 20, and the thought of that person taking office, there is only one option left to us.

Everyone here knows how much I love Obama but he is delusional. I am also pissed off at him for not coming out with the Russian hacking story for fear he would look partisan. Does he think the republicans would do the same if the tables were turned - and in view of the information which Comey and the Justice Department knew of why hasnā€™t he asked for Comeyā€™s resignation and where the fuck was Loretta Lynch,

No one likes a Diogenes. Wolf Blitzer will do.

I imagine for someone with the attention span of a six year old those meetings must be excruciating. Playing president for an audience must be so much more fun then the real thing.

Trump says daily briefings are the same stuff over and over and he just wants to know when something changes. With his attention span, how does he know that? And with his dull sense for nuance, whatā€™s the chance that they really are the same thing over and over? Bottom line is he doesnā€™t have the right stuff to do the job.

Rump may not be getting the daily intel briefs but President Pence is.

As time goes on, itā€™ll be much more apparent that Rump is the useful idiot that the GOP has using for the destruction of the country.

This is why we lose and they win. We routinely show up to a gun fight with a wiffle ball bat,

ETA: I share your frustrations, chams. Bad job by my hetero-life mate, President Obama.

I donā€™t think it was a matter of etiquette that stopped him. I think itā€™s more a matter of whether pushing that angle and then McConnell saying ā€˜Itā€™s just a partisan witch hunt to win the electionā€™ and a judicious decision that pushing the issue would have the effect of backfiring and making things worse.

Loretta Lynch was forced to stay on the sidelines by WJC. Agree with you on Comey, though; the guy is a wet noodle and will be no more useful in controlling Trump than an empty seat.

ā€œI think the President-elect may say one thing and do another once heā€™s here,ā€ Obama said.

While itā€™s true that you canā€™t depend on a single thing that Trump says, in this case Iā€™m pretty sure Obama is wrong. Trump has shown us exactly who he is and that person is not someone who is interested in, or even can, sit through daily briefings, no matter how important they are.

[/quote]There are no cheers or applauds for spewing lies, delusions, or red meat catchphrases during an intelligence briefing. Much too serious stuff. Not fun at all. Boring.

I could not agree more and if we donā€™t stop being the good guys, we are in for more losses.

She has a fucking job to do - maybe during the primaries after WJC fucked up but not when there was actual proof the Russians were doing this during the general. Comey has to report to her so she had to know he knew when she did. I am sick of all of them

I am sure heā€™s wrong too. I am so pissed off at Obama right now I can barely contain myself.

Do you not think itā€™s possible that heā€™s just letting drumpf hang himself? He seems to be doing a pretty good job of it. I guess we could get every elected Dem in Washington to stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and hold a press conference.

In the case of Trump it might be better if he flies blind since he seems to be easily distracted by shiny objects and big boobs.

You sound just as stupid as all of Trumpā€™s supporters who kept telling us that Trump will be more Presidential as soon as he overcomes the next hurdle. Stop being so damned gracious, the ā€œwhen they go low, we go highā€ didnā€™t work on November 8.
