WARSAW, Poland (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday defended his decision to release five Afghan detainees from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for an American soldier's freedom, saying his administration had consulted with Congress "for some time" about that possibility. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff left open the possibility of desertion charges against the soldier.

Obama the treasonous LIAR.

Even his own party says Bozo didn’t consult Congress. He isn’t even good at lying.

Another prepared convenience...

Too bad nothing will really be done about any of this...

But hey...Since we have no one with the political will or ability to call any of this for what it is...

“He isn’t even good at lying.”

If nobody ever calls him on it, what now does it matter?

King Obama does not know how to tell the truth. He is mentally ill.

In what way does discussing the possibilities relate to we are actually doing this and getting Congressional approval? Kind of the way sweet relates to sour, sighted to blind or hearing to deaf? In other words zero just played the DICKtator card again.

Obama cannot even adhere to laws he signed. Was Congress consulted in advance of the specific swap of these five dangerous terrorists for the deserter? The answer is no. Thus another videotaped lie by Obama.

Obama has been slowly seizing total power, he’s ramping it up quick now, the coup against our form of Gov and those who respect rule of law will quicken.

What he’s done by freeing our enemies, top Al Qaeda terrorists will result in the MURDER of more US Soldiers and possibly US citizens. He did this illegally without Congress...as the dictator he thinks he is. Article 3 section 3 of the Constitution (which Obama despises and disregards) describes exactly what he has done and it is treasonous.

Another lie by the Liar in Chief.

These were all theoretical discussions. Even Dianne Feinstein is quoted today as having written from the Intelligence Committee to both Obama AND Clinton that they were not on board with a swap with a non governmental entity, i.e. the Taliban.

There was no need to go around Congress. Congress was told of the raid on Bin Laden and kept that a secret.

This is more lying and misdirection by the President.

And he has set us up for another 9/11 attack.

Americans will now die.

These five jihadis are on their satellite phone links with their compatriots plotting now, new ways to kill Americans.

Obama handed them a tremendous political and propaganda victory, and then acts like we are all playing politics.

"From a soldier that was there. He requested that his name not be posted for security reasons. "What you have is pretty well spot on. All I know is that our orders were kill on contact and then we came back and it was covered up. I've personally been threatened a few times that discussing it in half the detail you already have was considered an act of treason. 😐" "The one you have is spot on. Walked off with a couple bottles of water and a few knives if I remember correctly. Left all SSI. Seeked out Taliban leaders. Like a week later there was a broken arrow in the 501st AO. I'm absolutely convinced it was his doing. He was too well taken care of to be a POW. He defected and became a propaganda tool. That's all I know." From the Facebook page

This freak was a close associate of Bill Ayers and was a disciple of communist Frank Marshall Davis.

He comes from a long line of demented, corrupt socialist politicans in Chicago (Hillary also being one). Did we expect anything different from him?

Anyone want to bet this will not happen?
