U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who is charged with desertion for walking away from his combat post in Afghanistan in 2009, has asked President Barack Obama for a pardon, the White House said on Saturday.

Obama will relinquish office on Jan. 20 to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, who made caustic comments about the sergeant during the presidential campaign that drew complaints from Bergdahl’s defense team.

Normally I would agree due to the race issue. But the way he grandstanded with the parents in the rose garden and everything, I think he’ll see it through. Plus it’s another chance to rub patriotic, military families noses in it.
He loves things like that and anything he does is all about him.

Bird dog is destined to be someone’s bitch at his freak parents commune.

He will forever be reminded of his desertion by the Citizens if he ever tried to function in society

Wasn’t obama feeling up his mother. He might pardon if he gets a date with her.

This is what I love about Trump, the blunt unwashed words that are just too much truth for liberals to handle.
