>> he won the election. Running the campaign (although he didn't), makes him qualified. IS that pathetic, or what? The nerve of that woman to compare Obama's "experience" with Romney's tells you why MSNBC has no viewers. People know they're getting total bullshit when they turn it on.

State Department Spokeswoman Refuses to Apologize to Bowe Bergdahl's Platoon Townhall ^ \| June 24, 2014 \| Katie Pavlich When Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released in a swap for five Taliban prisoners three weeks ago and celebrated by the White House as a hero, his fellow Army platoon leaders came forward with details about how he was "captured" as a prisoner. Bergdahl was accused of being a deserter who violated his oath and left on his own accord by the men who served with him. At the time of their statements, State Department Deputy Press Secretary Marie Harf was asked during a press conference about the knowledge the platoon members had surrounding Bergdahl's alleged desertion. She dismissed their statements as non-credible and the men were framed by the administration as liars. Obama White House allies went so far as to call the platoon members "psychopaths." Last night Harf made an appearance on The Kelly File to talk about the ongoing crisis in Iraq but near the end of the interview, Megyn Kelly asked if she wanted to apologize to the platoon members, who took offense to her classification. Harf refused to apologize. The relevant portion of the video starts at the 9:45 mark. (VIDEO-AT-LINK) There's our elites, on full display. That "thank you for your service" is rote gobbledygook that they just mouth and don't mean. What has this woman done that even compares to the newest, lowliest private at Fort Bragg or El Toro? 1 posted on 6/24/2014, 5:14:51 PM by 2ndDivisionVet

TG, I remember the looney left's argument for Obama's qualifications the first time around was..."he won the election. Running the campaign (although he didn't), makes him qualified. Have they forgotten that lame chant? I remember that. No one denies that Obama is a master campaigner. However, it was clear from his first term that campaigning was all that Obama knew how to do. Even after he won re-election, his "solution" to breaking partisan gridlock in Washington was to go out onto the campaign trail and get the voters to try and pressure their congressional representatives. Of course, that fell flat on its face. The effects of this campaigning are clear. The partisan divide is deeper than ever before. Instead of building bridges, Obama let them burn, thinking he's above that bulls--t. Tenchusatsu
