Mitt Romney does not currently receive national security briefings, his campaign confirmed to CBS News today.
Typically, presidential candidates begin receiving briefings after securing their party's nomination, which Romney did in Tampa two weeks ago.
"It's a long-standing practice for presidential candidates and select advisers to be provided intelligence briefings following the party's nominating convention," Shawn Turner, the spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, told CNN in June. "During the last presidential campaign, all the candidates began receiving briefings in September following the conventions."
"The Intelligence Community is working closely with the Romney campaign to finalize the logistics for the candidate briefings," he told CBS News. "The process is moving forward on schedule and we are not aware of any concerns."

Thank you for sharing. Much happens without most knowing.

True. Romney may not be the smirking chump, proud that he could utter such words. OTOH, if he was "coping", I wonder why? Did he have to say something he was told to say, for the sake of the campaign, but was stressed out over having to say it?
I had a friend give me a frantic phonecall, almost in tears, asking if I had heard what Romney had said, especially about the "values". In the past, she has called herself a moderate Republican, but she now was frantic about stopping Romney from being elected POTUS. She didn't like what he said and was going to email the RNC. She believes if Romney is elected, he will start wars using the Bush Doctrine or sew more hatred against America where now there is none to little.edit on 13-9-2012 by desert because: punctuation

The week before 9/11 and the President didn't meet with intel. You tell me. On the anniversary of 9/11 and you don't have enough marines prortecting the embassy? You tell me.
Thank you! Where was the intel on this, we have a president negligent to attend
intelligence briefings, that even made the news.
Obama skips more than half of daily intelligence meetings
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor about the findings..
He says that the president reads his PDB every day
Vietor also directed me to a Post story written this year in which Obama officials discuss the importance of the intelligence meeting and extol how brilliantly the president runs it.
“Obama reads the PDB ahead of time and comes to the morning meeting with questions. Intelligence briefers are there to answer those questions, expand on a point or raise a new issue,”
The Post reported. “One regular participant in the roughly 500 Oval Office sessions during Obama’s presidency said the meetings show a president consistently participating in an exploration of foreign policy and intelligence issues.”

Could it be because when he made his first statement the State department didnt release information about the deaths. He was simply pointing out in his original statement that the embassy apologizing for a film they had no control of was inappropriate
And Obamas weak foreign policy has weakened the nation in the eyes of our enemy.

Can you elaborate on the timing of these events? Like, Romney referred to the statement from the embassy in Cairo before the killings took place. And frankly, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the film was "promoted" by special interests who simply wanted an event like this to take place. The film was translated into Arabic a few days ago. If you think that's a coincidence, I'm the Chinese Emperor.
And Obamas weak foreign policy has weakened the nation in the eyes of our enemy.
Obama is raining missiles upon the militants' heads using US drones, and finally OBL is dead. Any statement like this from Romney is just a Big Lie tactics. Weak? Derp.

Obama is hiding under his desk because he gave $1.5 Billion to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Do you care at all about FACTS?
I don't think so, but maybe other will read this and understand that you are lying.
