Our president went to a burger joint where he learned about one of our national security agencies for the first time. That he has no idea what it is and what it does is a bit unnerving. I’m sure the intelligence agent who spoke with Obama wasn’t encouraged, either. The Politico has the details of the conversation:
Obama: What do you do Walter?
Walter: I work at, uh, NGA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Obama: Outstanding, how long you been doing that?
Walter: About six years
Obama: Yea?
Walter: Yes.
Obama: You like it?
Walter: I do, keeps me…
Obama: So explain to me exactly what this National Geospatial…uh…
Walter: Uh, we work with, uh, satellite imagery..
Obama: Right
Walter: [unintelligible] …support systems, so…
Obama: Sounds like good work.
Walter: Enjoy the weekend.
Obama: Appreciate it.
Oh boy.
