Because they’re so “in touch”.
I don’t know what to think- I just assumed they didn’t care if there was outrage. Are they so tone-deaf that they thought it a good idea to have the Taliban-sympathizing father, with beard, spouting praise of allah, next to the President? Are they that stupid they thought that would look normal?
In the bubble your world view does not matter, their problem is they sometimes have to operate in the real world.
don’t worry,Chuck, we’ll be ecstatic when obama releases the blind sheik.
for sure that’s coming, maybe on his last day in office, but at some point
Its tough to think outside the bubble.
What would you expect from the Choom Gang?
What a pathetic bucket of crap we have in the White House.
Oh and the media (like Chuck you Todd) who stand around as willing enablers and cheerleaders.
Weird Beard and Fonda Taliban get to meet with the pres and the parents of those killed looking for the traitor/deserter get photocopied thanks letters from the pres.
How nice.
He did not expect Euphoria! !
He doesn’t care what the country thinks. he is there to destroy America. Of all the soldiers and marines that are being held somewhere, he selects this rat bastard because he is a deserter, collaborators and hates America. His father is the same ilk. These are the people that Obama loves.
The ONLY way I’d be euphoric is if they’d swapped Hussein 0bama for him.
obama’s not one of us and he’ll never understand what makes real Americans tick. He’ll never get it.
The administration knew he had walked away two years ago.
What kind of welcome is reserved for a deserter ?
A real American would have rather died in captivity then let 5 murdering barbaric terrorists go free. They have over a thousand deaths on their hands. And they are probably conspiring to kill more as we sit here right now.
What can I say?
President Jarrett is an idiot.
For all their fumbling and bumbling, the Obama administration should be noted for one thing: they have changed the way the political-media axis operates by condensing the process or even removing a few steps.
In past years, if an administration did something mostly right with a few wrongs thrown in the mix, they might trumpet the right, defend or downplay the wrong, and eventually come clean on it since they had, on balance, succeeded. If they did something mostly wrong, they might defend it until nobody believed them or until someone proved they were in error, then fess up.
The Bammies have no time or tolerance for antiquated concepts like right and wrong. Instead, they hatch their plans with one single goal: to reflect credit on Barack Obama. This is often and erroneously called politics but politics at least tangentially involve elections, parties, downticket races, positioning for future elections, speakerships, chairmanships, etc. But, as Obama wistfully noted, hes done running for office. He is a lame duck determined to fly or at least disguise his bad wing.
But hes worried about the midterms! you say. Hogwash. Sure, a Democratic House and/or Senate might be a nostalgic return to the 2009 sausage factory days but Obama has demonstrated that he cant work with anyone - even raving delusional partisan hacks like Pelosi and Reid because he is unwilling, even unable, to share credit for anything. Its a lonely place but one Obama has ably staked out due to his sociopathology. He and his wife literally have no friends only political allies and toadies. What qualities that usually attract friends are visible in Barack and Michelle Obama? None, obviously. Like the Clintons, they would not walk across the street unless there was personal gain involved.
The House is a lost cause through 2016, even with the weak GOP opposition leadership, so what use is the Senate? To the extent he cares about the midterms it will only be because they represent another popularity poll for him. But if the midterms are a disaster what does he care? Will he change his approach? Will he need to? Hes already perfected his finger-pointing routine. Hes got two arms and can easily point at two houses of Congress not just one.
Obamas urgency in manufacturing his own pathetic little political trophies has made him sloppy. Its clear he regards at least half the nation not just as political opposition, but as genuine enemies more threatening than bloodthirsty Islamic savages and he cant be bothered to disguise it any longer. Hes even isolated himself from traditional Democrat voting blocs who don’t constantly hail the chief.
His vanity projects (read: executive orders etc.) will only get more brazen and bizarre as he grows more desperate.
I had never heard of the guy. How could they expect people to be euphoric about something so few people had heard of?
Barry should have previewed the reaction on CNN.
