What do you think about those few Republicans who are Angry at the President about the Bergdahl prisoner swap?

If you do not have something intelligent and civil to say, your comment will be deleted.It is my opinion that technically the President violated US laws in several ways: in negotiating with terrorists; in failure to notify Congress, and probably others.However, I believe that it is politically stupid for any Republican to publicly make that point. It comes across as anti-military and seems to be a petty complain. I understand why some stiff-necked absolutists would do this, but consider it to be akin to political suicide.What do you think?

The narrative that we were fed by the administration and the media about the prisoner swap a few days ago appears appears to be bogus. The circumstances surrounding Sgt. Bergdahl's conduct in Afghanistan is coming to light. A lot more than a few Republican politicians appear to have changed their minds about this as the circumstances have trickled out in the media. While you can argue that many Republican politicians jump on anything the president does (justly or unjustly), in this case it appears Mr. Obama is suffering from a self inflicted wound.
