Geez, and I thought Barack Obama’s last week was bad. This week things go from bad to worse. Just as they did after the Benghazi attacks, the White House trotted out Susan Rice to play Designated Liar, and once more, only days later, they’re caught in their own web of lies as their story falls apart almost by the hour.

Question: is there anything this President and his administration can do right?

I guarantee this is one scandal that isn’t going away anytime soon, as many brave American soldiers died trying to find Bowe Bergdahl’s whereabouts. Michelle Malkin hits the nail on the head:

My source did not mince words: “The fact that our government negotiated with terrorists and our enemy is incomprehensible. The fact that they exchanged five war criminals for a traitor is sickening. The worst part for those of us that suffered through that time is that PFC Bergdahl is being hailed as some kind of hero. He was automatically promoted to Specialist and Sergeant, ranks he does not deserve and did not earn. I have no doubt he will receive back pay for these past five years, a substantial sum. There will be book deals, and his family are celebrities. I am glad he is safe, and happy for his family, but he should return home to face a court martial.”

Are you listening, Capitol Hill and America? The Bowe Bergdahl mess isn’t just a story about one deserter, but two. There’s the muddle-headed lowlife who left his post and brothers behind. And there’s the corrupt commander-in-chief who has jeopardized more American soldiers’ lives to “rescue” Bergdahl by bowing to the Taliban, while snubbing the surviving heroes and at least 8 dead [My note: the toll, in fact, might have been as high as 14] American soldiers who lost their lives because of him.

This is what happens, America, when the only thing your White House and Commander-in-Chief knows how to do is think politically, without any concern for accountability, oversight, and the rule of law. In this case, they sought to put politics and their goal of closing Guantanamo Bay against the facts of the case, hoping the mainstream dino-media would provide political cover for them, and lost. Obamacare. Benghazi. The IRS scandal. The VA scandal. And now this. Anyone of these are potentially impeachable offenses, but you and I both know that will never happen. As far as I’m concerned, that’s OK, because with each passing day, each new scandal and example of incompetence, Barack Obama’s presidency and his unearned reputation as a competent leader is falling apart like a cheap bridge table.

The next show to drop: that the Obama administration also paid millions of dollars in ransom money to secure Bergdahl’s release. Can you say, “aiding and abetting your enemies”? An impeachable offense by any stretch of the imagination, but you knows how that will go.
