That wasn't sophistry.

The investigative report is clearly misleading, even Justplugit is coming to false conclusions.

Spence, point being as Commander in Chief, responslble for the safety
of America's Citizens, he is missing personal interaction with his Daily Intelligence
Meetings %50 of the the time, no matter how hard you try to explain it away.

Do we know what % of these briefings either Bush or Clinton went to?
Or is this just more rhetoric and hyperbole?

Marc Thiessen: Why is Obama skipping more than half of his daily intelligence meetings? - The Washington Post

While the Bush records are not yet available electronically for analysis, officials tell me the former president held his intelligence meeting six days a week, no exceptions — usually with the vice president, the White House chief of staff, the national security adviser, the director of National Intelligence, or their deputies, and CIA briefers in attendance. Once a week, he held an expanded Homeland Security briefing that included the Homeland Security adviser, the FBI director and other homeland security officials. Bush also did more than 100 hour-long “deep dives” in which he invited intelligence analysts into the Oval Office to get their unvarnished and sometimes differing views. Such meetings deepened the president’s understanding of the issues and helped analysts better understand the problems with which he was wrestling.


at some point Spence and the other Obama defenders have to wake up from this fantasy that he's the smartest ever and anything that pokes holes in that big pink bubble is unfair, untrue, misleading or...something far worse(when all else fails)...

the results are a pretty good indicator...middle east is in chaos, don't know if you are paying attention to China and Japan but the groundwork is being laid for a major confrontation in the Asian Pacific, the Fed has undertaken QE3, dependence on government is at record levels and going up, you have to do a houdini every jobs report to try to claim any improvement, gas is at 4 bucks, funny that O came into office bashing Wall Street and basically the one thing that he can try to claim is doing much better under his watch is...WALL STREET

That says it all. How this guy is polling north of 45%, with that track record, is beyond me. It's just incomprehensible.

probably just really, really "extremely engaged in the intelligence and security process"

Spence, after you were proven wrong by the Washinton Post Thissen Report,
I'm still waiting for your retraction about me coming to false conclusions.
Bold print would be fine.
