You may recall that a few weeks ago, President Obama spoke of_three
former Presidents_ making prisoner swaps at the end of wars that took
place on their watch, "much like his swap" he said convincingly.

quote, This is what happens at the end of wars, President Barack Obama
boasted Tuesday when he was asked about swapping American Army Sgt.
Deserter for five vicious Taliban terrorists. "That was true for George
Washington... That was true for Abraham Lincoln and that was true for
FDR. Thats been true of every combat situation, that at some point, you
make sure that you try to get your folks back... And thats the right
thing to do.
Really?
That statement blatantly demonstrates that the most powerful man in the
World and two term President of the United States lacks even a grade
school level of knowledge of American History; specifically, history as
it relates to three of our most famous Presidents and. It demonstrates
again that we have essentially elected a foreigner who has no
understanding of the very country that he reigns supreme over. Then
again, he was educated at an Ivy league school so you can't expect too much.
What's wrong with his statements? Let's keep it simple--EVERTHING is
wrong!!!
The Revolutionary War ended in 1783... George Washington did not become
president until six years later in 1789.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in mid April of 1865. The Civil War
ended the following month. He was *_still_* dead at that time. No deals
were made to exchange prisoners after the war. All prisoners were simply
freed.
FDR died of a stroke before the end of WWII. Like Lincoln, he stayed
dead after the war so he couldn't do what this jerk says he did. You'll
recall that Harry S. Truman made the decision to drop two nuclear bombs
on Japan, ending World War II. He made no deals for prisoners. We went
in and released them when necessary.
None of the Presidents that Obama noted were in office at the ends of
those wars, making it impossible for them to make any sort of prisoner
swaps, let alone the 5 for 1; plus unspecified cash; for a deserter and
t*****r by the President of "57 States".
It should be pointed out that countless deserters and t*****rs were shot
or hanged during all three of the aforementioned wars.
What amazes me even more than the ignorance of the President is that he
has managed to surround himself with a staff that is just as clueless.
