You knew this was going to happen. You just didn’t know which “low-level rogue” member of the Administration would be the first to drop heavy rhetorical ordnance on the troops who served with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. It turns out to be Brandon Friedman, deputy assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, who is a military veteran himself. You can bet everyone in this Administration with a military resume is being quietly felt out by Obama’s political team to see how far they might be willing to go, in order to protect His Majesty’s rapidly disintegrating political narrative.
One of the striking things about the Bergdahl affair is that literally no one is willing to back up the Administration’s narrative, peddled by Benghazi fabulist Susan Rice on the Sunday shows, that Bergdahl was a war hero captured on the field of battle. Not one person with first-hand knowledge of Bergdahl’s disappearance has stepped forward to buttress this story. The mind reels at the incentives provided to any soldier willing to do so, but so far, no takers. On the contrary, even though they were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements and ordered to either keep quiet or spread disinformation, numerous members of the unit have come forward to testify that Bergdahl deserted his post. At least two of them, Sgt. Evan Beutow and Spc. Josh Fuller, have been willing to go on the record with well-founded suspicions that Bergdahl actively collaborated with the Taliban.
Solution for the Obama Administration? Portray these men as liars and political tools (“swift boaters,” as White House aides called them yesterday.) And when that didn’t work, hostilities were escalated by Friedman, who speculated that the entire platoon, other than Bergdahl, was composed of “psychopaths.”

$50 says within the next 72 hours Bergdahl will be said to be gay and his platoon-mates all homophobes.
(Yes, they are that desperate in the White Hut.)
They are Doubling Down on Failure and Stupidity.
It is the hallmark of this administration.................
You gotta know their internal polling numbers are scaring them to death.
Impuning Americas best and Brightest will NOT ingratiate the American People...by and large!!
As currently defined in Federal regulations, anyone who questions or exposes this government’s corruption is a “psychopath.” So, yes, this man must be correct.
Yeah, they are all the nutcases and he’s the one that’s right? Why then were they approached and uh, “requested” (bullied) to sign non-disclosure agreements surrounding the circumstances of bow-legged bird-dogs disappearance?
You might be a psychopath if ... you think everyone else is a psychopath!
They truly thought the Bergdahl Deal was gonna be a huge PR coup........................now, it’s just another huge embarrassing scandal..............
Friedman has military experience? Big deal, so did the deserter. Losing honor can wreck and overshadow proud military service.
In a perverse way, I’m grateful that Obama is going it alone with no guidance from savvy political operatives who could have prevented much of the damage he’s doing to the country and himself. Imagine if the administration was peopled by the likes of Joseph Goebbels and Erwin Rommel. Instead, it appears that Larry, Moe and Curly are running the cream pie business. So, stick it to the coal states with an illegal carbon trading tax. Make veterans (100% of whom probably vote) wait excessively for medical treatment. Use your pen and phone and just do whatever the heck strikes your fancy. And, when you leave office, be sure to pardon every Democrat crook and every black man in jail. Make as big and bold a statement about what Democratic leadership is all about as you’d like. Then, endorse Hillary Clinton for the 2016 election.
Watch the people line up at the poling stations like it was the day after Thanksgiving and Wall-mart is giving away free flat screen TV’s to first 1,000 customers.
I hope it is scaring them all you-know-what-less! But, considering this Regime’s endless reserve of that STUFF—could take a while!
Dear Mr.Obama.. What you just did was; 1. You put all of the American people in harms way by freeing the worst of the worst terrorist for a photo-op. 2. You again lied to the American people...(When have you ever told the truth?) 3. You sent your Minion out on Sunday and twisted and perverted the truth again. 4. You again by-passed the Congress because you don't like being said no too. 5. And the most important thing you did was, YOU SPIT IN THE FACE OF ALL WHO SERVED, WHO LOST LOVED ONES, WHO GAVE BODY PARTS, WHO LOST THEIR FATHERS,SONS,DAUGHTER,HUSBANDS,WIVES,BECAUSE YOU WANT A PHOTO-OP.THE REAL TRUTH IS YOU WANT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
One thing about the “Talban Dream Team” that was quickly forgotten - weren’t 2 of the 5 wanted by the UN for war crimes?
So the Emperor (any one still question that title?) released two men wanted by the UN. I thought the UN was the penultimate source of perfect information (Global Warming, et al) and righteous actions? How could the Emperor do anything against so an august international organization?
Incredible.
I await Joe Biden’s take on all of this.
0bama and company are stuck on stupid.
Half the people in this country are either so stupid or ill-informed that nothing matters to them except the welfare check arriving on time. What ought to be a landslide election may be turn out to be a dud (again). The communists will run Hillary in 2016, but who will the RINO’s run?
Who is the inept blond spokeswoman for the state department. Is that their role now - to lie to reporters?
“but who will the RINO’s run?”
Romney has dipped his toes in again. There’s a Bush lurking nearby. Rubio says he’ll run if he’s asked to. (Only the MSM would ask.) Most of our nearly dead guys, Dole and McCain, are too old and even they know it. The interesting thing is that Hillary’s alternate, Elizabeth Warren, is 64.
It appears nobody has an Eisenhower or Truman, let alone a Reagan or JFK. We’ve reached the bottom of the barrel and turned it upside down. The scrapings aren’t much.
