Here is a little history lesson for President Obama.
You should 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 this swap" he
said convincingly.
CNN 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 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. 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-- EVERYTHING is wrong! ?
1. George Washington did not become
president until six years after the Revolutionary War ended in 1783. By 1789
there were no longer any prisoners for him to exchange. ? ?
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 our "57 States" president.
5. It should be pointed out that
countless deserters and traitors were shot or hung during all three of the aforementioned
wars. What amazes one even more than the ignorance of the President is
that he has managed to surround himself with a staff that is just as clueless
or willing, as the media are, to cover for his dumb, lying rhetoric and
behavior!
P.S. Obama mentioned while being
interviewed on Super Bowl Sunday while in the White House kitchen, that George
Washington drank beer in the White House when he was president.
George Washington never lived in the White
House; it wasn't built yet.
If
a person is not smart enough to fact check his material before making a speech,
is he smart enough to be President?
JUST
ASKING…
