In the Bible, Esau sold his birthright for a mess of potage — some red lentil soup, to be exact. Looking at the week’s events, it seems that this country has sold its glorious birthright of constitutional government by honest men and women for a mess of potage — a false promise of hope and change delivered by a glib huckster and his shady friends. The deceit and lawlessness of Obama and those around him and the consequences have never been clearer than they were this week.
Nothing shows better the unprincipled nature of the administration and the acquiescence of the media than the stories of Bowe Bergdahl, who this week was charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, and Hillary Clinton’s destruction of her email server’s records. Both Obama and Clinton operate on the not unreasonable assumption that voters have memories no longer than a nanosecond and the complaisant press will be all too ready to help bury history.
It is clear that Bergdahl was, as the army has now charged, a deserter. Three days before his disappearance, he emailed his loopy parents:
The future is too good to waste on lies,” he wrote. “And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be American.”
He left the base, was predictably captured by the enemy and spent several years in captivity instead of being hailed by them as a hero as I suppose he imagined he’d be.
Six men died searching for him (PFC Matthew Martinek, SSG Kurt Curtiss, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Clayton Bowen, 2LT Darryn Andrews, SSG Michael Murphy) and one was seriously permanently disabled.
The military investigation into his disappearance surely made the circumstances of his disappearance into enemy territory and hands known. Still, undoubtedly in an effort to clear out Gitmo, an Obama campaign promise never fulfilled, the president traded five high-ranking Taliban commanders for Bergdahl, placing them under the uncertain short-term supervision of Qatar. Disgustingly, he cloaked his motives in pieties about never leaving a single troop behind.

How many captured U.S. military would the taliban give us for their man, obama?
I personally do not think Obama has any say in what’s going on – HIS HANDLERS however should be thrown out of the power circles!
