Shite House Whines: GOP Criticism of Bergdahl Is Just a “Proxy For Their Hatred Toward The President”
Via Politico:
President Barack Obama’s Rose Garden appearance Saturday afternoon with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s parents was an attempt to humanize the prisoner swap to deflect potential criticism of letting five Taliban leaders out of Guantanamo Bay, White House aides say.
It didn’t work.
White House aides were aware Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had been tagged a deserter, and that they would be grilled over not keeping Congress in the loop. But they figured people would be most outraged over the national security implications.
The White House has been surprised by how much attention has remained on the questions about Bergdahl, from the circumstances of his disappearance to the wild beard his father grew while he was being held that’s even led to Bergdahl’s hometown canceling a celebration. All this, Obama aides say, is in their minds a proxy for the hatred toward the president.
"Sorry, but after this travesty, We The People have every right to hate the treasonous fraud. I hate it that in Obowel's and his administration's eyes, desertion is serving with honor and distinction.
