THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

The Blame Game Obama has a knack for taking credit for good things he's not really responsible for and shirking responsibility for things that would damage his reputation.  Unfortunately for Obama, the American people are starting to see right through this and believe the president to be dishonest. It's becoming difficult to count the example of lies and misleading statements Obama has told throughout his presidency.  From Benghazi to ObamaCare (if you like your plan, you can keep your plan), from Fast and Furious to the IRS targeting of conservatives, this administration has engaged in an efforts to obfuscate the truth for political gain. Recent polling shows that a majority of Americans do not believe our president is honest or trustworthy. This latest mishandling of ISIS only adds fuel to that fire.  It's become increasingly clear that Obama either refused to acknowledge the growing threat of ISIS or he simply didn't know because he couldn't be bothered to be properly briefed.  Consider this recent report from the New York Times (of all places)...continue reading Golfer-In-Chief Barack Obama has spent more time as president on the golf course than he has listening to daily intelligence briefings.  Is it any wonder we find ourselves in the position we're in? The stories surfacing lately of Obama's lackadaisical approach towards growing security threats is frightening.  This week we received the shocking news that the president has missed over half of his daily intelligence briefings.  The State Department's spokeswoman Jen Psaki tried to explain this away by telling Fox News that the president “receives [his intelligence briefings] whenever he can.” Whenever he can?  It's hard to imagine what could be more important than classified intelligence briefings about the potential threats facing America.  But the president's approach seems to be that he will squeeze in a reading of his daily briefing in between golf swings. A report by Neil Munro at the Daily Caller calculates that Obama has “spent almost 700 hours in 875 'Presidential Daily Briefings' since 2009.  But he’s also spent roughly 800 hours on almost 200 golf trips since his first inauguration.” This really takes the cake.  I disagree with much of what the president has done, but in this case it's what he hasn't done – take his intelligence briefings seriously – that is upsetting and ultimately puts America at greater risk.
