Obama briefed daily on intelligence
Posted: 08:57 PM ET
From National Security Producer Pam Benson

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Barack Obama apparently has a hearty appetite for intelligence.
The president-elect is receiving intelligence briefings every day of the week, exceeding the six days given to President Bush, according to Michael McConnell, the director of national intelligence.

At an appearance Tuesday at Harvard University, McConnell jokingly wondered aloud whether “there’s a little bit of competition” between the men.

He said he was amazed at how much and information the two men digest and how quickly they do it. “The speed with which these two particular gentlemen absorb information and move on is astounding,” said McConnell.
