it terrifies me to think of what the next scandal will be to divert our attention from this one...
We probably won’t have to wait long.
I’m sure O’Gambler is warming up the dice for the next roll.
Everyday it’s something else. It makes one emotionally drained!
I thought the same thing what will be the new diversion for us to get out of this one..
I agree that it was Obama's plan for the Bergdahl swap to serve as a diversion from the VA scandal, which it has been, but not in the way Obama intended. I think Obama planned this as another "I got Osama Bin Laden moment" in which he would be viewed as taking bold, decisive action to rescue an American "hero" from the clutches of the Taliban ("see, I really do care about our guys in uniform.") I don't think he anticipated all of these people who served with Bergdahl coming forward and telling the American people in no uncertain terms that Bergdahl was a deserter, and probably collaborated with the enemy. I also don't think he anticipated Diane Feinstein and other members of his own party being as critical as they are about the release of the 5 terrorists from GITMO. Unlike a lot of other scandals, the average person gets this. They understand what happened here. Obama was counting on people to be oblivious to this entire episode, instead, it blew up in his face.
