Obama: 'My Government' Didn't Need Congressional Approval For Bergdahl Deal
2014-06-08
[IJREVIEW] ring an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, Barack Obama
Jedi mind meld...
claims -- incredibly -- that "my government" acted 'unanimously" in its decision to trade five Taliban capos for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

It was a "unanimous decision" by "my government." "I make no apologies for it."

But surely, he meant to say "my administration," right? Don't bet on it.

The deal was overwhelmingly rejected in 2012 by members of Congress, Pentagon officials and the intel community. That doesn't suggest that the American people's government was unanimous about the swap, does it?
