Obama’s trade for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl now joins the infamous list of “Worst Trades in History.”
In the sports world there have been many legendary bad trades. Julius Irving. Kobe Bryant. Nolan Ryan. Hershel Walker to the Minnesota Vikings for an entire team of players and draft picks that led to three Super Bowl victories for the Dallas Cowboys.
But the worst sports trade ever was the Red Sox selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees. The Red Sox didn’t win another title for 86 years. The Yankees became the greatest American sports franchise in history. They won 7 World Championships with Babe Ruth.
It was called, “The Curse of the Bambino.”
But in the real world there was one trade that topped them all, when American Indians were conned into selling Manhattan for $24 of trinkets in 1626.
That was the worst trade in history. Until now.
Obama takes the cake. Obama just traded an entire team of Islamic mass murderers and America-haters for one tragically confused (or perhaps mentally ill) deserter and traitor. Not just any mass murderers, but buddies of Osama bin Laden.
Folks, that's a really bad trade. It just doesn't get any worse than that.
What did we get in return? A traitor who purposely walked away from his base searching for enemy to surrender to.
Whose search and rescue cost the lives of as many as 14 heroes (his military brothers).
Who may have converted to Islam and taught bomb making skills to the Taliban.
Whose father welcomed him home at a White House ceremony in Arabic. It is rumored the father converted to Islam.
That’s who we traded five mass murderers for? That’s what Obama broke the law for?
This story just doesn't smell right. Something is very wrong.
Keep in mind those five sworn enemies of American mass murderers all…haven’t even gotten back on the battlefield. Yet. But when they do, remember they were set free by our own President, to rain hell down on our American hero soldiers. Remember they were set free by our own President to plot a new 9-11 that could kill thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Americans (think dirty bomb).
The world is shocked. Our allies are horrified. America’s enemies are laughing and high-fiving. Our military is demoralized. Our economy is in free fall. Our dignity and legacy is in tatters. Our reputation across the globe is shattered. One man has destroyed the once great America.
Why did Obama break the law to trade for one deserter? Why would he risk all hell breaking loose for one traitor who cost the lives of six military heroes? Two reasons:
First Obama was desperate to get the VA scandal out of the headlines. He had to change the topic away from neglect and fraud causing the death and suicide of American military vets under his leadership. How better to change the subject and erase the scandal involving abuse, neglect and even murder of military vets than by appearing to be a Commander in Chief rescuing an American military POW. Obama had delusions of grandeur- overnight going from bum to hero.
Second, my sources in military command positions tell me that the CIA reported to Obama that Bergdahl was about to go on global television to denounce America, call our military evil...and do it all in Arabic. Obama would have been humiliated. His narrative of being such a big victor over Al Queda and the Taliban would have been destroyed….in front of the whole world…live on global television.
So here was the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone. But it all backfired as word spread of the betrayal by this American soldier…the deaths of his military brothers caused by his desertion…and the lies of Obama to cover up this outrage. Obama said not to worry about the five released terrorists- "we'll keep eyes on them." Hours later Qatar officials reported they are free to go anywhere in Qatar. And in one year, they are free to return to the battle field. Is Obama naive…a terrible negotiator…reckless…or complicit in a plan against America? You decide.
Forget the humiliation of selling Manhattan for $24. Forget “the Curse of the Bambino.” Forget all the humiliating trades in history. This one takes the cake. This is the “Curse of Barack Hussein Obama.”
The question is…is this the final straw? Has the American public awakened? Is this finally the offense that leads to impeachment? Or does Obama get to spend another two years on the attack against America- weakening our military, destroying our international credibility, killing jobs, and wiping out small business and the middle class with high taxes, onerous regulations, Obamacare premium increases and EPA intervention that raises electric rates past our ability to pay our bills.
The question is…
Who will stop Obama and save what's left of America?
Yep. The gop wing of the uniparty is complicit.
In the meantime, we will suffer the ravages of this MarxoFascist coup waiting for the king to die.
Not counting the fact that Obama did not get to where he is on his own. His ideology will not die with him.
Obama is the result of 100 years of subterfuge and effort by Fabian Socialists.
God of course will stop him, all of us are destined for the same fate.
The issue is that as so often happens with tyrants, they have a tendency to end your life much sooner than nature would.
Nothing in life is perfect, least of all politics.
You have to work with what you have.
Applies to everything.
Yes. We no longer have the ability to transport people or materiel to the ISS that we funded and built. We have to hitch a ride with the Russians to get there and to get back.
Ass-clown in Chief let two US astronauts ride to the ISS right before he decided to get snippy with Putin. Putin now has them as hostages while Ass-clown tells a few more Russian Oligarchs that they can’t come to the US on vacation as “sanctions” over the Crimea.
Ass-clown is taking care of business though. He is releasing terrorists for a traitor and waiting for the cue card for Applause to come on at the WH “press” conferences while he golfs and hobnobs with billionaires, fellating each and being fellated in return...
And the band played on.
I’m truly shocked.
As my tagline says, if our Republic is going to be saved, it's the veterans who are going to have to step up (again!) and do it for those who are undeserving of their service.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Unfortunately, we have a spine-less group of politicians in Washington. Let me remind every one, what the democratic congress did to Nixon, during the Viet Nam war. They took all the money that was to go to the US MILITARY, unless the Nixon administration got out of Viet Nam. Does every body remember the helicopters flying out of the US embassy? These Washington politicians have the power of the purse, all they have to do is take away all the money from the EPA or any other ALPHABET GOVERNMENT AGENCIES and all of this will stop. OBAMA can’t do anything without the money that congress is giving him.
But revolt is coming.
You didn’t know that?
The sports team players analogy is perfect. We, the American citizenry get to ‘vote’ for our favorite turd in hopes that ‘this time it will really be different’ and something will actually get done. So we get to listen to pansy a$$ed Linda Graham say some strong words and watch Johnnie Bonehead cry about it. It should be plainly obvious to all that the current regime has absolutely no intention of following the law and that republicans in office will continue to do NOTHING! History books will show that the USA was taken over and destroyed without so much as a single physical battle having been fought.
At some point very soon, we the people will have to step up to the plate and do the right thing. Want a pipeline to the refineries? Build the damn pipeline! Want a Marine rescued from an invading country to our south? Assemble a few thousand men and go get him!
To think that God is just going to ‘miricle’ the sack of $hit in chief and all it’s cronies out of power seems just a wee bit delusional. I tend to share Ms Barnhardt’s frustration: http://www.barnhardt.biz/2014/06/03/why-im-considering-quitting/
Nope. That was a day-um good trade.
One more little thread highjack.
I'll see that trade and raise you a Mathewson-Rusie trade. The New York Giants trades Amos Rusie to the Cincinnati Reds for the then-unknown Christy Mathewson. Rusie only pitched in three games with Reds, with no victories while Christy Mathewson went on to win 373 games (including 80 shutouts) for the Giants and was one of the original five members of the Hall of Fame (with Ruth, Cobb, Johnson, and Wagner).
No one can stop him if God put him in that position to put America under judgement. Only God can remove him.
I’m not a vet, but I’ll meet you in D.C.
“Right” is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe he got everything right.
You know, all the stuff the Tea Party did, before it got scared because the media were calling it racist. Just as with the Tea Party -- back when it had guts -- we build momentum locally, then we can gather in DC. Hopefully we won't have to bring the torches and pitchforks.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I suppose he might think that. If his goal is laying waste to our country, I guess he is “right”. But his world view is not “what brung us to the dance” of economic strength, freedom and respect(not necessarily friendship and admiration) on the world stage. No matter which way you cut it, I have trouble calling his campaign of ripping apart every virtue of our society “right”.
No, I didn’t.
