As one of the characters in Anchorman observed of its bloody brawl between news teams: Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Two days after President Obama broke the law to arrange an insanely reckless swap of five incredibly dangerous Taliban terrorists for captive American Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, virtually every aspect of the deal has blown up in Obamas face, and the whole thing has soured into another five-star scandal for an Administration riddled with them. Maybe its the accumulated weight of Obama fatigue, or the sheer stupidity and arrogance the President displayed in this particular abuse of power, but even people who stood by him through Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS scandal are asking: What the hell was he thinking? What did the White House think was going to happen here?

It's that simple. These lying hypocrites are that shallow and corrupt.
You hit the ten ring here.
The inside the beltway Republicans refuse to discuss impeachment charges because they know that it would never happen. The voters are not going to let the first Black president be impeached.
Obama would like nothing better than to face impeachment charges before the November election. Obama loves just the discussion of impeachment because that would put him on the ballot in November, instead of Democrat Senators. it would energize Democrat voters.
No, we need to find a way to use the courts to stop Obama. It is too late to undo the prisoner exchange, but Obama could and should be sanctioned for the action.
Gotcha. I just wanted to know how you were using the phrase. For the record, in my vocabulary, there are American Constitutional conservatives (TEA movement) and there are Republicans (GOPe-led).
TEA Party can be a confusion term, depending on who is using it for or against American Constitutional conservatives.
I've heard all that before....I rate that rationality up there with, "We can't control or secure our own borders".
For the sake of Obamatransparency: what is the difference between the Defensive Democrat’s Declaration that one of their transgressions “is being prosecuted for political reasons by Republicans,” and the employment of Constitutional Checks and Balances by a non-Democrat?
Although he was a private when he was first captured by the Taliban, Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was promoted twice in captivity and is scheduled for another promotion to staff sergeant.
CNNs Barbara Starr reports that a defense official confirmed that Bergdahl is scheduled for a promotion to the rank of staff sergeant later in June of this year.
Bergdahl was a private when he went missing and was promoted to the rank of specialist in June 2010. He was promoted in June 2011 to the rank of sergeant.
Any impeachment procedure would just insure that Harry Reid keeps his job.
Obama is happy. Because we are no longer talking about how his VA system essentially murdered hundreds of vets. He’d much rather be attacked for ‘not leaving a man behind,’ and then having him ‘face responsibility for what he did.’ It will engross the nation for weeks, and when it’s over, both Benghazi and the VA will be long forgotten. Mission Accomplished.
Bingo!
I’ve heard it all before Eva....
Obama and the government can do anything they want, and the Republicans in D.C. will never demand removing him from office as they might look bad because Obama is the first black president.
On and on and on....
Good point!
Back in the day,
There was the SILENT MAJORITY.
Then came the Obamanation,
And VOICE came upon the SILENT.
The Tax Revolt of 2010,
Began to begin the beginning,
Of Conserving what is left,
Of our Core Values.
Are you taxed enough?
Say the VOCAL MAJORITY.
Nay, not nearly enough
Say the 47 % who pay no taxes.
So here we stand,
With lines drawn in the Sand,
Watching our pathetic professional politicians
Do their dance of death, debt and taxes - - -
Again, and again, and again.
This is just another astro-turfed distraction, just like the timing on the disclosure about the VA cooking its books for years was, which everyone knew, IMO.
It's all a desperate attempt to distract from the one scandal that ties it (and them) all together.
Follow the money. $6,000,000,000.00 is missing from the books at State, we have hundreds of man-pads missing, new vehicles, state of the art night vision and comm gear, somehow "stolen" from an unguarded "training" facility, all now in the hands of the terrorists all over N. Africa and Syria. Hillary and O both knew.
Now this? Releasing the Gitmo 5? He's wanted to do that for years so why now? Could the MB be blackmailing the WH over what was going on in Benghazi? The whole Benghazi op? Morsi was in on it, too.
The truth is out there and the traitors are very afraid of it's coming out. They will collectively say and do anything to hold onto their power now.
Even aiding the terrorists for their part in the coverup. It is ALL aiding and abetting. High crimes.
It is TREASON.
There, I said it.

Best quote of the day.
I happen to think that everything that Obama is doing is intended to taunt Republicans into attempting to impeach him. I think that is a huge power play.
The idea is that Obama is immune to impeachment and once the impeachment charges are not sustained by the Senate Obama will claim a mandate and make all his illegal actions quasi legal.
No any impeachment charges must wait until after November. After November, impeachment can and should proceed.
Yup, Republican support for Obama, confirms the masochistic desire of the GOP-E Leadership.
BTW, if the GOP-E inflicts masochistic pain on themselves, then what have they gained?
I’m assuming that the GOP-E faithful believe that even masochistic pain will produce gain.
Sobbin’ John Boehner is the correct poster boy for “No masochistic pain, no gain” Campaign Posters.
True, but it adds to the pattern of aiding the enemy for the upteenth time and it adds to the pattern of costing military lives, in the field and at the VA. Remembering our soldiers were disarmed in many Afghan neighborhoods.
Under Obamacus, the USA is systematically disarmed right down to small arms.
He is the manchurian prez. I almost expect him to announce it any day.
