There was euphoria among the Taliban
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
We don’t typically free five high-value terrorists during an ongoing conflict, just because a sailor jumps ship either - do we?!?!
They may have been stupid enough to elect him twice, but they’re not that stupid.
Perhaps Obama would like to detail his actions on the Benghazi rescue?
In baseball terms Obama traded Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, and Stan Musial for Mario Mendoza
The White House is really so out of touch that they expected praise for releasing five mass-murdering terrorists in return for a deserter? That is scary! As stupid and incompetent as I expect Obama to be, he somehow manages to surprise me regularly by outdoing my worst nightmare.
Look, any president who thought there was 57 states in America is not going to understand loyalty, country and the rule of law. He just understands the low down.
Surprised that one of Obama's handlers didn't figure out that this optic would inflame people.
M’Kay - send him back. KTXBY
The regime, obama and those who surround him, are like little kids who find themselves on the bridge of a great ship. They have no idea what will be the result of pushing button, moving levers, or turning dials and knobs. They push, move and turn anyway.
They either knew the blow back would be bad and simply don't care, this is another "story" that surprises them...
The other option is they really think the American people are that dumb or stupid to buy this bag of cow dung...
Either way this clown show is almost hard to fathom...
Every administration makes mistakes and get trapped in that DC bubble...
These folks take it to a new level...
Completely clueless, pathetic morons. So completely isnuslated by their idiot friends in DC they have no idea of what an average citizen even think.s
I doubt it. Obama and his Muzzie buddies in the White Hut know full well what they are doing. Every day Obama and co. serve up some new insult intended to insult the American people. It is in your face. It accomplishes several things at once.
1. It sets precedents to undermine our constitutional government and rule of law.
2. The timing of the events are carefully controlled so as to be a continuous and unrelenting assault on American freedom and values. People are too overwhelmed to even keep track of all the lawbreaking by the Obama administration.
3. The events are specifically intended to upset conservatives by keeping us off balance and in a constant state of alarm and pissed off mood. 4. Combined with a do nothing Congress the events demoralizes those of us who actually give a $hit so that many conservatives will simply say F'it and give up.
Note to Chuck Todd:
UNLESS there are far more American military members who have taken off their body armor
their helmet
their web equipment
and put down their rifle,
then took plenty of water & a knife & walked off their posts in their combat zone in the middle of the night——I don’t think there should be expected ‘euphoria’ about this person coming home.
HE is NOT a POW. He walked away from his post in the middle of the night. He is a DESERTER.
Learn the difference.
It ain’t going away. We aren’t that stupid here in ‘flyover country’.
Many though lack the ability to understand desertion and capture. But they can watch complicated television programs that put others to sleep.
Leave it to the Obama administration to try to cover up a scandal with...another scandal.
The exchange was motivated by panic
The VA scandal is among the very worst in American history.
It is a political disaster requiring extreme action to get it off the front page. It was deemed better to take heat for a fait accompli.
“Look, a squirrel!”
