A HISTORY LESSON

A  HISTORY LESSON.  MOST OF US ALREADY KNOW THIS. ALL OF US  SHOULD.                  

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.  

CNN  News carried this quote,   “This  is what happens at the end of wars,” President Barack Obama boasted Tuesday when  he was asked about swapping an American Army Sgt. 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 can't  expect too much.  
What's  wrong with his statements? Let's keep it simple--  EVERYTHING is  wrong!  
George  Washington did not become president until six years after the Revolutionary War  ended in 1783. By 1789 there were no longer any prisoners for him to exchange.
FDR  died of a stroke before the end of WWII.  Like Lincoln, he stayed dead  after the war so he couldn't do what this jerk says he did. You'll 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.  
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 many 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.
