A sure sign Obama's in really big trouble this time: Even MSNBC has had it with the BS
American Thinker ^ | 06/05/2014 | Thomas Lifson

Oh-oh, the Bergdahl deal is blowing up in Obama’s face like an Acme brand cigar lighted up by Wile E. Coyote. It’s gotten so bad that even NBC News and its kid brother MSNBC have had it with the BS. Evan McMurray of Mediaite:

The Obama administration’s chief reasoning for sidestepping congressional notification in the prisoner swap for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was concern over the captive’s deteriorating health. But after a video — released by the TalibanWednesday morning but not yet confirmed by the Pentagon — showing Bergdahl’s transfer into American custody, NBC News Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski said onMorning Joe Bergdahl appeared on film to be in fine health.

“What struck me first about this video is he appears to be in remarkably good shape, at least physically,” Miklaszewski said. “Don’t know how he is psychologically. He’s clean-shaven. He appears to be somewhat robust, had no trouble walking to the helicopter. He did appear subdued. After five years of captivity, one could only imagine.”

NBC News calling BS on Obama! When have we ever seen that before? Mik going out of his way to drive home the point.

And Susan Rice is treated with near contempt:

“But, you know, the White House over the weekend trotted out now-National Security Adviser Susan Rice one more time to the morning shows and she said the reason that the White House did not give the thirty-day notification before releasing those five GTMO detainee was because of Bergdahl’s health, that if they would have waiting another thirty days, it would have been too late,” Miklaszewski said. “Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) yesterday contested the White House claims, saying she has seen no evidence that Bergdahl’s health was failing.”

“Trotted out”!

I was under the impression that all MSNBC scripts and talking points are personally approved by the administration. How did this happen?

We probably won’t have to wait long.

I’m sure O’Gambler is warming up the dice for the next roll.

Why is it Susan Rice gets all the crappy jobs in this administration?

This is all about

1. Protecting the Democrat senators in jeopardy this November. The media water bearers know Obama is a liability, so time to shore up the defenses before the Senate flips.

2. Propping up Hillary Clinton, who will increasingly start differentiating herself from Obama on this and other issues.

Well, Obama still has Chuck Todd and that little monument to nepotism, the Russert Kid, on his side. And don’t you dare mention the Bergdahls’ parenting skills!

Posing. Pure posing.

Remember when The Bent One committed perjury? Pundits thought then that Democrats would draw a line.

Fantasy.

She’s an incompetent fool. Anything over janitor Rice is over her head.

He may have to let an ambassador get killed to distract from the terrorist/deserter exchange story which was supposed to distract from the VA story which was supposed to distract from the IRS story which was supposed to distract from the dead ambassador story.

Susan Rice basically told America that Bergdahl would have been dead or permanently physically disabled if the administration had waited 30 days to tell Congress - and she claims to know this by watching tapes.

The Taliban tape shows that claim to be complete nonsense.

Watch her bank account 10 years from now.

Jamie Gorelick had a similar job in the Clinton Administration and she's worth well over $100,000,000 now.

At its highest levels, scumbaggery pays very well.

3. Showing We The Sgeeple how objective and unbiased they are, so when they start fawning over Hillary! in 2015 and 2016, the simpleminded will buy into the idea that she is really worth fawning over.

(See Clinton, Bill and Gore, Al - circa 1998 - 2001.)

He will be in really big trouble when he is on trial for high treason.

Until then, he’s not in any trouble.

Who cares what MSNBC has had it with?

Susan Rice has no credibility whatsoever. In fact, if you accept the opposite of everything she says, you will probably find the truth.

The same goes for her boss.
