"The law requires." Ha, ha, ha. This is King Obama we're talking about, not you or me.

When it comes to lawlessness, Obama is the gift that keeps on giving. If
Congress passes a law that is Constitutional but that he happens not to
like: no problem. He just won't enforce it (ask the folks in Arizona about
immigration laws).  Perhaps Congress fails to pass a law about something
that he does want done: that's no problem, either, because he has learned
that there is no cost to governing by decree. The latest instance of
presidential lawlessness concerns the Taliban's release of U.S. Army Sgt.
Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan in exchange for five high-level Taliban
prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. Naturally, one rejoices at the release of an
American solider after nearly five years of captivity in the savage
hell-hole of Afghanistan. But as Rep. Howard McKeon and Sen. James Inhofe
observed yesterday, "America has maintained a prohibition on negotiating
with terrorists for good reason. Trading five senior Taliban leaders from
detention in Guantanamo Bay for Bergdahl's release may have consequences for
the rest of our forces and all Americans." Prediction: you'll see many more
Americans captured and held for ransom now that the Taliban knows our policy
of not negotiating with terrorists implies that, if you push a little, we
will happily negotiate with terrorists.

"The law requires." Ha, ha, ha. This is King Obama we're talking about, not
you or me. Apparently, he can do whatever he pleases, from calling on the
IRS to harass his political opponents to selectively enforcing to law to
imprisoning video makers who are convenient scapegoats. But wait, there's
more."

President Obama wants to close down Gitmo and set free ALL the terrorists
imprisoned there, not merely the five that were recently released. So he
really doesn't need an excuse to turn terrorists loose, the case of SGT Bowe
Bergdahl just gave him a convenient cover. One that makes him look all
compassionate and caring to boot. So what if he broke the law to do it or
that this action could bring about even worse consequences in the long term?
Are you some kind of meanie that you would have a problem with ransoming a
young soldier from captivity so he could return home to his parents?
