Obama administration officials broke two federal laws when they exchanged ( Taliban) warriors for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the government’s top investigative office said in a legal report Thursday.
Officials should have given (congress) a 30-day heads-up, and also illegally switched money from one account to another to conduct the swap, the (Government Accountability Office) said.
President Obama had defended the swap as a legal use of his powers as commander in chief, and said he had to keep Congress in the dark in order to preserve secrecy in the delicate negotiations with the Taliban.

What a child Obama is...look where we are today, beheadings and more threatened while this utter disgrace plays golf. Instead of turning the area into glass, Obama's ill prepared advisers are going to continue to peck away at the cancer.

OK, wow, this calls for a do-over. Send Bergdahl back and have the 5 Talibani sent to Gitmo within 7 days.

In the entire time Obama has been president, I can only think of two times where he appeared presidential, and I can’t remember either one of those times specifically.

Well, I certainly hope that Nancy Graham and John ‘pour me another’ Boehner send zippy the asshat a sternly worded letter telling him not to do that again or they will get really mad. That’ll fix it.

If Obama isn't lying, or breaking the law, or acting stupidly he's on vacation playing gold.
Nothing new here.
Move along.
