Obama hits Trump on intel briefings: ‘It doesn’t matter how smart you are’
By Rebecca Savransky - 12/13/16 07:25 AM EST

President Obama in an interview late Monday stressed the importance of daily intelligence briefings after President-elect Donald Trump pushed back against criticism that he receives the briefings only once a week.

"It doesn't matter how smart you are," Obama said on "The Daily Show" with Trevor Noah. "You have to have the best information possible to make the best decisions possible."

Obama acknowledged the country's intelligence agencies are "not perfect."

He's definitely one of those "do as I say not as I do" kind of people.

Somewhere down the line someone must've convinced Obama that intelligence briefings can only properly be held on golf courses.

If something goes wrong because Trump ignored an intelligence briefing, he will blame someone or something.  In that respect he's just like Obama. There has to be a scapegoat. Nothing is ever his fault.

He will simple use it as a "see I told you so" moment to continue to pile on to the Intelligence services.
