Repost from an email I got: As Ronald Reagan said, the problem with Liberals is that they know so much about things that just are not true. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone This quote was several months ago. I heard it on CBS . Yup, our commander in whatever !!! 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 this swap he said convincingly. CNSNews 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 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 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 cant expect too much Whats wrong with his statements? Lets keep it simple--EVERTHING is wrong!!! The Revolutionary War ended in 1783. George Washington did not become president until six years later in 1789 and there were no longer any prisoners to exchange 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 couldnt do what this jerk says he did. Youll 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 traitor by our 57 States president. 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.
