President Barack Obama has certainly staked a lot on the fate of likely deserter Bowe Bergdahl. He sacrificed the lives of several of our men in uniform in a vain attempt to rescue him, then traded five Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay for his release.
Now, it appears the president is even willing to obstruct justice for Bergdahl. Recent reports indicate that senior Department of Defense officials are doing their best to poison the well for those prosecuting Bergdahl.
>> Having to listen to that New Yawk/Bronx accent of his is, IMHO, an act of torture.
Cawfee tawk... most in the suburban NYC area don’t speak that way.
That means, all he has to do is pardon Bergdahl. Which would be trivial if he could overcome his in-built wussness. In the meantime, pass the popcorn!
Well said!
Thank you.
0bama is a damned traitor, let there be no doubt!
Any who stayed home in 2012 or voted third party (Losertarian, Constipationalist, etc) certainly belong in the category.
It sounds more like “cwofee twok”, & Savage’s inability to pronounce the letter “ah” LOL
Well don’t freaking worry about it. Most of us voted for that anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-homo marriage sorry ass liberal POS Romney.
Dammit, I wish that Hannity, Beck, Rush, Levin & savage would say so. Gen. Ralph Peters seems to get a lil upset at Obama every now & then, but he still is too shy to say what I would like for him to say.
Agree with you Lib. Was at a Comedy club tonight something I seldom do, the Comic had 4 Negitive Obama jokes that had the audience in stitches and this from The Blue corner of Red Texas, El Paso.
Why wait for charges and conviction? Gerry didn't:
By the President of the United States of America
A ProclamationRichard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974.
Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television, radio, and in printed media, resulted in votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment.
As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution.
It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-ninth.
Dare you, Mr. President!
Well, thanks for educating me on that.
I would have figured that it would be similar to an issue of standing, can’t sue before you are injured.
But I see that he can apparently pardon before any conviction occurs.
Seems like a power ripe for abuse that should be taken removed like many other powers enjoyed by politicians.
Anyway, then, I fully expect him to do it, and I expect the house and senate to in turn do nothing.
I wish.
That ought to cement his precious legacy forever.
Several levels below the negative datum.
Out and out arrogant treason with impunity will be hard for future generations to believe.
I hope I completely wrong about this, but I think Obama’s legacy is going to be tainted by something far, far worse than pardon this traitor.
The only thing I trust about Obama is that he is truly Evil.
And he probably never will. A military guy's training just isn't going to let him say what's on his -- and your -- mind.
We need more sources for this. One is not enough.
Run a conservative candidate; you’ll get conservative voters to the polls.
Sounds pretty straight forward to me.
You are wrong. Obama is a puppet-—Romney would have been a puppet—that is why he was “allowed” to be the candidate. He would have been totally controlled, just as Justice Roberts is totally controlled by the Marxist, mafia, muslim, sodomite cartel.
But as bad as Romney would have been-—and he might have been a little less obvious than obama because he was a white man and couldn’t get away with half the stuff a black man could get away with-—he would have destroyed all chances to take the house-—all blame would have been on the Republicans.
We have a possibility of a R for president because of all the hate for the POS in the white house. But it may be too late-—they have all their goons in places of control—they purged the army, and put their homofascists in place-—(all fascist takeovers were headed by homosexuals (Hari/Lively). Why? All the most brutal forces in history are homosexual ones because they have no moral compass whatsoever and don’t mind brutalizing children and women (Spartans (don’t believe Hollywood), Samurai, Nazi SS, Bolsheviks). Vice breeds vice.
Is America in trouble.....sure-—but we need the masses to erupt against the tyranny of our courts, and Congress and president-—and without the rage, we will not get the masses to turn off the basketball games or soap operas or 50 shades books.
BTW, I held my nose and voted for Romney but the puppet masters weren’t going to let him win-—they put their little harem boy in-—because they could get more accomplished because of his “race”. They would not have allowed their boy Romney to win last time anyhow. They count the votes.
huh??
“Can a non-citizen be a traitor?”
Yes a traitor and an infiltrator.
