Obama: ‘My Government’ Didn’t Need Congressional Approval For Bergdahl Deal

During an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams, Barack Obama claims – incredibly – that “my government” acted ‘unanimously” in its decision to trade five Taliban commanders for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

    It was a “unanimous decision” by “my government.” “I make no apologies for it.”

But surely, he meant to say “my administration,” right? Don’t bet on it.

The deal was overwhelmingly rejected in 2012 by members of Congress, Pentagon officials and the intel community. That doesn’t suggest that the American people’s government was “unanimous” about the deal.

Pretty much out in the open now isn't it.
 
Wait until his last 6 months in office and see what he does. He is a power mad egomaniac.
 
I do believe that it is going to take tanks and force to get him and his 'mommy' Jarrett out of the WH. I do not believe that they intend to leave peaceably. They both intend to kick America's ass for as long as they can get away with it. IMO

While I hope that your prediction is not correct, at this point, I wouldn't lay high odds against it...   :shrug:

If that's the case, we only have 2 1/2 more years to go until we discover where the true sympathies of our military lay...
