This whole thing just looks like an increasingly worse decision as more details emerge.  Still not sure I understand what the Administration hoped to gain.

Another amateur political move by Obama. I'm sure the angle must have been "bringing a soldier home". Methinks someone didn't peek inside the cage before they bought the dog.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

LOL, he gets a soldier in enemy custody released, it's an obvious political ploy.  If he doesn't, he's abandoned him.

Black guy can't win for shit no matter what he does, film at 11.

I know we Democrats bitched and whined about Bush for 8 years, but I've been visiting the Tea Party groups on Facebook and such and the level of 'HANG HIM FOR TREASON' is absolutely incredible. I hate to play the black card but I'm going to anyway. Would conservatives be calling for such level of punishment if this was John Kerry? My gut says no.

No, I'm pretty sure they would want to hang John Kerry, too.

Don't they already?

"Bowe Bergdahl is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known. "

Absolutely love that film :)

Yeah, this is turning into a disaster and huge embarrassment on many levels.

Obama probably wanted one of these

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Change the record.  Heard this one a million times.

And who wouldn't want to bask in the universal popularity that rivals that of Benjamin Netanyahu?

Dude they wanted to hang Clinton for being a far left traitor and he spent his administration signing right wing reform bills and free trade deals between blow jobs.  This is less about ideology and more about partisan mental illness.  Not that Obama isn't terrible or anything.

From what I've read, Republicans consider it a terrible move and a mistake, while Democrats think the GOP are manufacturing outrage for political reasons.

I understand why Obama did the exchange. I'd also understand if Bergdahl's platoon mates beat him into an unrecognizable pulp.
