Speaking of Obama plans,
This guy is a catastrophe, worse however is the lack of any effective leadership in the republican party, whose "job one" following the midterms, should be removing this guy from office, and sending him off to a cell of his own at Guantanamo...The law violated by the Obama administration when it secretly exchanged five Guantanamo terrorists for an Army solider captured by the Taliban after deserting his post is punishable by jail, suspension and removal of office, according to written White House rules.
The nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), confirmed this week that the president broke a “clear and unambiguous” law when he swapped the high-level terrorists for Bowe Bergdahl, an Army sergeant who went AWOL in Afghanistan in 2009. According to rules issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the violation is serious and can carry severe consequences. They include fines, imprisonment, administrative discipline, suspension from duty without pay or removal from office, the rules specifically state.
The five Gitmo captives that were turned over to the Taliban held positions of great importance with the renowned terrorist group, including Chief of Staff of the Taliban Army and the Taliban Deputy Minister of Intelligence. They have American blood on their hands, according to a U.S. Senator who refers to the freed jihadists as the “Taliban Dream Team.” It’s atrocious enough that our commander-in-chief would even consider freeing these terrorists under any circumstances, even if no established law impeded him from doing it.
But Congress must be notified before acts of this magnitude are committed and the president completely disregarded the legislative branch. In fact the Department of Defense (DOD) failed to notify Congress at least 30 days in advance of the exchange, a flagrant violation of the law, and misused nearly $1 million of a wartime account to make the transfer, the GAO report says. The DOD used appropriated funds to carry out the transfer when no money was available for that purpose, congressional investigators found. This means the DOD violated a measure known as the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits federal agencies from incurring obligations exceeding an amount available in appropriation.
In a nutshell, Obama and his appointees flipped the finger at Congress, the American public and the rule of law
Don't kid yourself, the Republicans would NEVER put into place the means of sending a President to jail for fear it would be used against them. Additionally, it is almost a certainty that the Republicans will run some dipshit they believe has "broad appeal" in the foolish notion that they will get liberal / minority votes somehow and we will suffer through 8 years of President Hillary Clinton who will win for no better reason than the novelty of electing the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT.
Then a bunch of jackasses can feel like they were "part of history" just like they did with Obama and will one day brag to their grandchildren how they helped elect the first black President and first female President and they will remember it as a seminal event like being at Woodstock, which is an apt analogy because they are both essentially insignificant participation in something they actually contributed nothing to beyond their mere presence and yet somehow it became a pivotal point of their existence.
And they will truly feel like they personally changed the world for the better.

I doubt that you really think that there is any chance of O getting held responsible for this or any his his other actions. If anyone gets "hung" for this it'll be a lower level government functionary or some Colonel or General. And I seriously doubt even that will occur.

Never happen, I'd tell the truth so I wouldn't last three days. But since I have my magic 8 ball working, I'm betting that the 2016 election year panic buy (because it is now a cyclic event that will happen every election regardless of who is running), will completely eclipse the last two we saw.

Idk. I'm pretty sure were way past incompetence here. Look at everything this man does, says, apparently thinks and only conclusion one can come to is that this apparent bumbling is intentional and intent on enabling our enemies. The man hates this country.

Can't wait get a different set of genitals in there, if Hilary can handle Benghazi, the ultimate terrorist army will be easy peasy...
ISIS is on the move, very powerful, and unequivocally motivated. Can't wait to dance on their graves.
