Who the hell was President Obama rescuing: Bowe Bergdahl or the Taliban terrorists themselves?

The questions arises out of the mind-boggling defense of the Bergdahl deal proferred on today's Morning Joe by Bloomberg columnist Jeffrey Goldberg, who argued that by dint of the deal, "the President managed to get five guys out of Gitmo." Well, at least President Obama didn't have to send Navy Seals in helicopters over the Gitmo fence to rescue the Talibans. He achieved his goal with a mere stroke of his mighty pen.

Obama should have held out for releasing 10 terrorists.

My thoughts exactly. It will take another terror attack on American soil to get the public to wake up.

A MAJORITY of Americans are deaf, dumb, blind, and stupid. They’re content so long as they have cable TV, Internet, and phone service. America’s fallen so far. I truly believe there’s little hope remaining.

Another attack on American soil will make Obama president for life. Count on it. That or a civil war, or both, is what he is going for.

Do we even have Americans running the WH and the domestic MSM anymore? You’d think the guy was a Taliban journalist from the sounds of it.

I know. I was being sarcastic. I actually heard this loon this morning. Al Hunt was in full defense of this indefensible action. Is he Eleanor Clift’s evil twin?

Did I hear someone say “Five bullets would have removed the five Taliban from Gitmo!” With a lot less risk and minimal cost. Let them keep the traitor.

Or is O’bummer trying to set of precedent of going easy on traitors before his own trial?

Yes, and he reduced the food expenses at Guantanamo, but the next big terrorist attack gets billed to the Democrat Party.
