No big deal, just U.S. National Security

UNREAL: Obama Skips National  Security Meeting on Russia Situation

  
As the situation between Russia and Ukraine develops, you’d expect our president to be keeping up-to-date on every single detail coming out.  But remember, this is Obama.  He didn’t attend national security briefings while our ambassador was in danger in Benghazi.
According to tweets from White House press correspondents, Obama skipped a key national security meeting on the Ukraine situation earlier today.  Absolutely unreal.
Where was he?  Golfing?
   The Weekly Standard writes:
A White House official emailed some reporters to say that President Obama’s team met today to discuss the ongoing situation on Ukraine. It appears President Obama did not attend.
“The President’s national security team met today to receive an update on the situation in Ukraine and discuss potential policy options. We will provide further updates later this afternoon,” reads the full statement.
According to Time magazine’s Zeke Miller, Obama skipped the meeting. “Obama did not attend the meeting, but WH official says he has been briefed by Susan Rice and his national security team,” says Miller.
Instead of attending a meeting with his national security team, Susan Rice, the Obama advisor who repeatedly said that Benghazi had everything to do with a YouTube video, is briefing the president on crucial national security matters.  What could possibly go wrong?
   Did JFK skip national security meetings during the Cuban Missile Crisis?  No.  Even Jimmy Carter was intimately involved in every aspect of the negotiations and operations during the Iran Hostage Crisis.  Barack Obama is a new low for the office of the president.  Unbelievable.     2014 Capitalism Institute
