Now Charles Krauthammer Thinks Obama was Right

It's gotta be causing some panic at the Borg Network.
Shep Smith disagrees on Bergdahl. Meh. He disagrees occasionally
But now Krauthammer does.

Charles Krauthammer told Fox News that he would have made the same deal as Obama to release Sgt. Bergdahl and the president didn't have to notify Congress either.

"Look, had the choice been mine, I would have made that same choice," Krauthammer said. "It's a difficult decision and I would not attack those who would have done otherwise."--

Krauthammer said that the United States, along with other Western countries, "always comes out on the short end" in hostage swaps. He included Israel in this, pointing to when the country gave up 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in return for one sergeant.

elsewhere

The one area where the president holds the upper hand in those disputes is in matters of war and peace, he’s commander in chief. And I think a prisoner exchange is in the province of the presidency.”

That POS never misses an opportunity to trash President Obama.

Fuck him. On general principles.

I wouldn't pay attention to his views if he never supports President Obama; I wouldn't pay attention to his views if he decides to support Mr Obama whenever Friday the Thirteenth occurs in a month with no R halfway between leap years; and I still wouldn't pay attention to his views if he suddenly became Mr Obama's biggest fan

((And apparently, to a really naive and hysterically funny group here, that should mean that EVERYTHING he says is gospel and anyone who disagrees is jealous))
