With Obama MIA in almost 60 percent of his PDB, where is he getting his information?

Why worry about 'no boots' when Obama's heart isn't in the battle against radical Islam?

Aside from the Arabs, who would back him 100 percent, Western leaders signing up for the ragtag coalition to take on ISIS, should be asked by their masses why they would send soldiers into a battle led by a pretend general who plays AWOL at 60 percent of his intelligence sessions.
For whatever his reasons, President Barack Obama has blundered into the mideast war with no intel in his strategy arsenal. He's skipped through (read golfed, vacationed and partied his way through) daily intelligence briefings for almost 60 percent of the more than two thousand trying days of his presidency through September 29, 2014. "A new Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report reveals that President Barack Obama has attended only 42.1% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, (or PDB) in the 2,079 days of his presidency through September 29, 2014." (Breitbart, Sept. 30, 2014). With Obama MIA in almost 60 percent of his PDB, where is he getting his information??? Mainstream media, armchair critics and bloggers can posit their opinions on where Obama gets his intelligence on unfolding events in the Mideast, but western leaders with real soldiers at risk in a war zone, don't have the same luxury.

"The GAI report also included a breakdown of Obama's PDB attendance record between terms; he attended 42.4% of his PDBs in his first term and 41.3% in his second. (Breitbart) "The GAI's alarming findings come on the heels of Obama's 60 Minutes comments on Sunday, wherein the president laid the blame for the Islamic State's (ISIS) rapid rise squarely at the feet of his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. "I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria," said Obama. "According to Daily Beast reporter Eli Lake, members of the Defense establishment were "flabbergasted" by Obama's attempt to shift blame. "Either the president doesn't read the intelligence he's getting or he's bullshitting," a former senior Pentagon official "who worked closely on the threat posed by Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq" told the Daily Beast. "On Monday, others in the intelligence community similarly blasted Obama and said he's shown longstanding disinterest in receiving live, in-person PDBs that allow the Commander-in-Chief the chance for critical followup, feedback, questions, and the challenging of flawed intelligence assumptions. "It's pretty well-known that the president hasn't taken in-person intelligence briefings with any regularity since the early days of 2009," an Obama national security staffer told the Daily Mail on Monday. "He gets them in writing.""
Infamous for his absenteeism as a barely there senator from Illinois, his absentee style followed him to the Oval Office, begging the question, "What is Obama being paid for?" The Western leaders who jumped so readily into 'The Coalition of the Phantom Airstrikes' should not buy into Obama's political terminology that airstrikes with no boots on the ground is not a war when ISIS is killing off thousands in a visible war that seeks to install a Caliphate on all world citizens. Leaders of Western civilization: Boots on the ground are not the only thing missing in Iraq and Syria because Obama's heart so obviously isn't in it. Shouldn't someone be stepping up to the plate to ask: "WHY IS THAT? Suspicions flew as thick in the air as mosquitoes in a swamp weeks before Obama was caught in the glare of the headlights for ducking his intel briefings. Has it dawned on any Western leader that Obama and the Arabs is a stranger than strange combo? Or like British Prime Minister David Cameron, are they all drinking from the same Obama water hole? Did they all swallow the proverbial hook, line and sinker fallacy that Iran had America's back covered? There's a pungent fishy stench coming from the Obama-led airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, and the fish we used to know long died out in the oceans and fresh water lakes of the world. Are any of the western leaders who signed up for the airstrikes even aware that they are now in league with a president who is openly against his own country? Do they remember that with no qualifications other than those of a garden variety community organizer, BHO was presented from faux Greek columns at his party's national convention as a Hollywood-type Messiah? Commonsense should dictate that Obama is about as much a Messiah as radical Islam is a religion of peace. It is patently obvious after six long years that Barack Obama is a legend in his own mind; and critically important today that western leaders refuse to let him be one in theirs.
