...Obama, in his first public comments on the controversial trade of five Taliban prisoners for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl since the deal was announced, acknowledged Tuesday there's "absolutely" a risk that the former Guantanamo inmates will try to return to the battlefield -- but nevertheless defended the deal as in America's interest.

"I wouldn't be doing it if I thought that it was contrary to American national security," Obama said.

Over 51% of the voters agree with the son of a bitch. To the Democrats, he is worshipped as a god. This is evidenced by the fact that they did not boo the mention of Obama on National Television at their Convention three times in succession.

We are still having to live with the aftermath of the Carter Middle East policies.

Obama’s releasing 5 of some of the worst terrorists of this century surpasses Carter.

We will be living with the aftermath of this release for the next half-century and more.

The excuse: Bergdahl was ill, Qatar was willing to broker the exchange, now was the only time and these 5 were the terrorists the Taliban wanted.

{shaking head}

{wonder what the intended deal for the capture of Amb. Stevens was, had it not be flubbed up?}

Well, well, well, another screw-up of bamaboy....no surprises here...along with all the other screw-ups in his years in our White House, (shaking head) What is going to be left when this idiot leaves?

He was just looking out for his ‘gitmo’ buddies so his ‘kind’ will like him because anyone with any brains surely don't...I hope when we vote for a new POTUS in 2016 our heads are straight and clear, because we have a lot of work to do....fixing the budget (he used as his private checkbook); getting rid of this ridiculous obamacare (his private health plan for his buddies); fixing the VA and making sure our vets have the best care there is; denying open borders and sending back people that are taking our programs (he thinks these people are his ‘friends’ and they need help)...its going to take a lifetime to get this mess even looked at let alone fixed....

Put on your thinking caps and start paying attention of who your going to vote for....
