Fact is obumbles isn't and never will be up for the job. Since day 1 failure all fronts.
you, and the rest like you, are a disgrace to this country. You dullards whined and complained about how Bush got this raw deal with all the heat from the left..then you turned right around and went after Obama for far less things, 10 fold over. Including him bringing an American home..I mean, who in the he11 gets upset about bringing an American home from captivity???!!? Have we really become so political and vengeful that we will shame ourselves and be outraged over that?!?! Never mind, you dolts are too busy trying to convict the guy of desertion absent a trial. You lost your credibility at that point already smh
It has nothing to do with bringing home an American, in this case a deserter, it isn't about Bush either, fact is Obumbles has been a HUGE disappointment, no leadership skills.
Six of his fellow soldiers died looking for him even though they knew he walked away! What has this administration done to find and rescue him? After all, liberals boast of Obama finding and killing osama. What about the rule of not negotiating with terrorist? The president needed something to overshadow the VA mess, this was designed to present Obama as a hero bringing home a hero, instead he got kicked in the nuts as usual. However, his Objective worked. As southerngent wrote below, How much have you heard about the VA, BENGHAZI, F&F, OBAMACARE, NSA, IRS, AND ALL OF THE OTHER FAILURES OFHIS ADMINISTRATION since this occurred?

Van jones is a partisan hack that will defend Obama because he is black and a Chicago thug politician.
Obama broke the law, ANOTHER law he himself signed into law.He apparently can't even follow the very laws he passes into law.
Nobody is above the law, not even OBAMA.
The three girls kidnapped, starved, chained in different rooms and raped for 10 years by Ariel Castro in Cleveland went straight to a press conference when they were released but Bergdahl is quarantined and forgot how to speak English? Something is up..
If I were on the ballot in Alabama, I'd win.
It is often said that something “isn’t rocket science” when inferring that it just isn’t all that tough to understand once the emotions are set aside. Today’s politics really fits in that category. First, there is no “pure and holy”, there are short-falls everywhere with no one qualifying as perfect or even near perfect. Second, everywhere you look there is a whole lot of politics being played, which is always self-serving without any real consideration for the people, for the politician’s constituents, who they actually owe their total loyalty to. Third, there is a whole lot of effort by third party individuals and groups to influence the politicians and to seek favorable consideration from them. Fourth, the politicians and their supporters go to an enormous amount of effort and expense to con the people, the voters, including a constant barrage of propaganda that is very creative and emotional rather than factual and objective. All of these things together describe a status which leaves a whole lot of room for improvement but it is as American politics has been for awhile.
Today however, there has really been significant change with the costs of running for office exploding and with that leading to money literally controlling politics. The fifth point, is that today the candidates have to have at their disposal very large sums of money, actually sometimes millions or more, just to compete and that has created the reality of “the money” owning and controlling “puppet” politicians who then together concentrate on spending mega-bucks (even billions) to propagandize, to con the people and manipulate public opinion, with the result then being that the “puppet” politicians cater only to “the money” and insultingly take the voters for granted to be duped, used and abused as “pawns”. Sixth, the people, the majority, the voters are then challenged to rationally recognize that “the money” and the “puppets” offer them NOTHING but to be deceived and that the people absolutely need to check their biases, prejudices, emotions and prior loyalties in order to avoid being conned and instead choose the option that will best represent them and not just “the money” (where they simply keep losing while being told it is for their best).
Bush-Cheney clearly demonstrated all of this in using their offices and America’s resources for their private agenda to serve only “the money” and they proved beyond any doubt: that the “trickle down” theory is an absolute fraud with the wealthy always getting wealthier, while the majority pay the price, with it really just being aimed to solicit “the money’s” political support; and they clearly showed that “the money” have no conscience, only aggressive greed, as they continually push the country further into being a two class society with their competing in having it all, feeding their insatiable “more” (never enough) appetite, as the majority loses, including the total middle-class who loses more and simply keeps disappearing.
Today’s Republican / Tea Party is consistently working hard to disguise their efforts, by creating excitement with criticisms, propaganda and fears, to effectively achieve a return to “more of the same”, Bush-Cheney style, which can only result in “more of the same” that brought this country economically to it’s knees, when only “the money” prospered. It hasn’t mattered whether deceptively manipulating the conservative Christian, using the Swift-boat propaganda or the Tea Party movement and now whether using Obamacare, Benghazi, the VA or the Taliban prisoner exchange issues, the intent is always just the same – scream, yell and excite in order to sway and control public opinion for their own self-serving purposes. It is really up to the voters but blind loyalty just won’t cut it, the people have to be willing and disciplined to see reality and then to firmly refuse to be used.
