....Obama negotiated with terrorists.

He broke the laws that govern transfers at Guantánamo Bay.

He has strengthened the enemies of the Afghan government that the United States has fought to establish with blood and treasure for a decade....

... in the administration’s answers to all these criticisms, it becomes apparent that this weekend’s prisoner swap is about more than Sergeant Bergdahl. It is a statement of Obama’s deeply held views about American foreign policy,

Turn back to God, USA.

We have a kakistocracy because we have earned it by our willingness, as a nation, to run like Jonah from our Judeo-Christian roots.

I fully agree wit what you said. What is additionally pathetic is this country re-elected him. That is more telling about us as a country than anything.

It boils down to that we are now a majority of entitlement junkies who would rather suck on the left hind teat iof Uncle Sugar than be productive citizens. The video of the woman who was supporting her candidate because of the Obama-phone best encapsulated what the 2012 election was all about.

Did the words IMPEACHMENT and TRAITOR get written out of the Congressional Rules Book?

The end of America. The freeloading Obama supporters better start learning the art of DUMBster diving.

This is the kind of thing that makes Putin look good. The Russian approach would be somewhat different. America is currently led by someone who hates America.

I see it as something different than entitlement junkies voting for more entitlements. My take? Obama was elected because far too many Americans didn’t understand the stakes. The Republican Party offered up a terrible candidate who couldn’t even inspire the party’s base—much less the large numbers of apathetic Americans who don’t even vote. For his part, Obama didn’t seem like that great of a threat. The media largely acted and still act as Obama apologists.

So I see it as two main issues: #1 Americans didn’t know and still don’t know what’s at stake—the terrible damage that Obama is doing and will do to America. #2 Americans were too apathetic about politics and America’s future in general, taking what we have for granted and being more concerned about day-to-day living.

I don’t think most Americans are going to care that Obama violated the law to release the Taliban commanders. If these commanders later kill some American GIs, that will be down the road and disconnected from their release itself. Even if Americans are able to tie these terrorists to future acts against America, will they remember Obama is responsible? Unlikely.

America is currently [enduring a clown] who hates America.

Which makes him the worst occupant of the Oval Office in our history. Think about it...all of the previous ones....Carter, Nixon, FDR, Hoover, Buchanan, Fillmore, Quincy Adams....may have been feckless, naive, immoral, ignorant, vengeful, etc. But none of them were reared by a man who HATED this nation like Frank Marshall Davis. At the very least, the others CARED about the nation, even if their decisions were wrong.

I see it as a Kafkastocracy at this point.

Obama is worse than Carter in the same way that Ebola is worse that a typical case of the flu. Both are unpleasant, but there is no comparison.

Cue Ann Colter, Ann says Obama has killed more terrorists with drones than any other. Maybe Obama traded these terrorists so he could get them in the open and kill them with drones.

A senior Obama administration official told CBS News as much Sunday, saying the Bergdahl swap is part of “a broader reconciliation framework” between the US and the Taliban.


Reconciliation? I didn’t realize it was a synonym for capitulation.
