Yes, "Faux & Fiends", Obama reads the briefings every day!

...................................................................................................................................................................
COMMENTS:
*  President Obama reads the reports and understands them; President Bush had to get the info verbally with the big words eliminated and the meaning explained to him.
    *  Bush struck me as the kind who only wanted a quick and dirty, cut to the chase and "bottom line it for me" kind of guy. Deep analysis which requires an extensive knowledge base in order to compare, contrast and weigh viable options wasn't his thing. Acquiring that is well.... hard.
*  It's astounding that people can, with a straight face, declare Obama the "worst president ever" when Bush is still so fresh in our collective memories and we're still reeling from his inanity and failures wrought.
*  Trying to do the "FOX" spin and twirl

Former CIA Deputy Director Tells Fox News One Interesting Difference Between Bush And Obama
By Catherine Taibi, May 12, 2015

The man who was responsible for briefing the president every day on matters of intelligence told "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning that there is one key difference in the way George W. Bush and Barack Obama absorb information.

Michael Morell, a former deputy director of the CIA who was with the agency for 33 years, delivered the president's daily brief to both Bush and Obama.

During an interview, Fox News' Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked Morell what the differences were between briefing former President Bush versus briefing President Obama. Morell said some things were very similar, explaining that both presidents "craved intelligence."

The difference between the two men, he said, was how they took in the information they received.

"President Bush best absorbed it by having a conversation like we're having," Morell said. "President Obama absorbs it best by reading it."

"But do you know that he reads it every day?" co-host Brian Kilmeade pressed.

"Yes," Morell said sternly. "Yes."

Nice try, Kilmeade.
