Presidential Daily Briefs: A Time-Based Analysis

[John Adams]

Executive Summary

In September 2014, the Government Accountability Institute updated an analysis
of how much time President Barack Obama has spent attending his Presidential Daily
Briefs (PDBs), as recorded on the White House official calendar and Politico’s
comprehensive calendar. The updated study covered the president’s first 2,079 days in
office, running from January 20, 2009 through September 29, 2014. Of those,
President Obama attended a total of 875 Presidential Daily Briefs for an overall 42.09%
attendance rate.

Additionally, GAI compared the attendance rate during the first term to the
attendance rate in the second term, thus far:

• First Term: President Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009 and
was re-elected in November 2012. Between January 20, 2009 and January
19, 2013, President Obama attended 620 PDBs over a possible 1,461 days
for a 42.43% attendance rate.

• Second Term: President Obama was inaugurated for his second term on
January 20, 2013. Between January 20, 2013 and September 29, 2014,
President Obama attended 255 PDBs over a possible 618 days for a
41.26% attendance rate.1

1 All counts are current as of September 29, 2014. It should be noted that due to inconsistencies
on the White House public schedule, several dates have been updated from our original report.
This report reflects the most current and accurate information provided by whitehouse.gov.
Years 2009-2010 are counted using data pulled from Politico.com as the White House
Presidential Calendar does not contain that date range.

[hoosier_daddy]

the General Accounting Institute is a right wing fake sounding agency made up of goofy right wing journalists and rumor mongers.  what are their numbers based on, idiot?  YOU ARE THINKING OF THE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE, WHICH IS A REAL AGENCY.  YOU ARE QUOTING ASSHOLES WITH LESS CREDIBILITY THAN FOX OR RUSH, MORON...

[John Adams]

What is the general accounting institute.....

[hoosier_daddy]

a name for a group started by some right wing dickhead.  it is not an agency.  it is a lying ass right wing website, purposely named similarly to the actual government agency- the General Accounting OFFICE...NOT INSTITUTE.  the institute is not really anything but a site designed to fool gullible ass right wing clowns.  like you, for instance.
