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.
CNSNews.com
carried this 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.
That’s been true of every combat situation, that at some point, you make sure
that you try to get your folks back... And that’s the right thing to do.”
Really?
That statement blatantly demonstrates that the most powerful man
in the World and 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 his rather critical predecessors. It shows me that we have
essentially elected a foreigner who has no understanding of the very country
that he reigns supreme over.
Allow me to expound:
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. You'll recall that
Harry S. Truman made the decision to drop two nuclear bombs on Japan, ending
World War II. We made no deals for prisoners. We went in and released them when
necessary...
If any Conservative President had made such an uninformed
statement we'd never hear the end of it. 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 traitor by President "57 States".
It should be pointed out that countless deserters and traitors
were shot or hung during all three of the aforementioned wars...
What amazes me even more than the ignorance of the President is that he has somehow managed to surround himself with a staff that is just as clueless.
