The Left Deserts Obama On Bergdahl Deal One of the striking aspects of the continuing controversy over the prisoner swap involving Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is that -- unlike the Benghazi scandal, the IRS disgrace and a host of other controversies in which there has been almost no liberal dissent from the Obama Administration -- the deal has produced a surprising range of opinion on the left.

Obama "Caught Flat-Footed" We are now four days into the Bergdahl controversy, and the backlash shows no signs of subsiding. This headline says it all: "Prisoner Swap Blows Up On White House." The White House thought it had a grand slam on its hands. NBC's Chuck Todd said this morning that the White House expected "euphoria," that everyone would "rally around the flag."

The Bergdahl Backlash If President Obama was hoping for a bounce from Saturday's surprise Rose Garden announcement about the release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, he didn't get it. Instead, he is facing a growing backlash -- from the troops, from members of Congress and even from the media. |

Shinseki Resigns. Now What? VA Secretary Eric Shinseki submitted his resignation this morning. After meeting with Shinseki at the White House, President Obama told reporters, "With considerable regret, I accepted. We don't have time for distractions. We need to fix the problem." While I agree that Shinseki needed to go, the White House is counting on the media to fall in line now and "move on." Brace yourself for all kinds of rhetoric about how decisive Obama has been and how he is taking charge. |

VA Scandal Explodes There was an unusual late-night hearing on Capitol Hill last night as top officials from the Veterans Administration appeared before the House Veterans Affairs Committee. The hearing began at 7:30 p.m., just hours after the release of a damning inspector general's report, and concluded just before midnight. |

BREAKING NEWS: The VA Inspector General has released an interim report on the Phoenix VA health system. It found that more than 1,700 veterans were not included in the facilities records, and that patients were waiting at least 115 days for first appointments.

What Happened To "Hope & Change"? Liberals who love big government are losing their patience with the Obama Administration. (More on that below.) From the epic failure that was the launch of Obamacare to the VA scandal, there has been little change in the way government works (or doesn't) and "hope" is the last thing Americans see in Washington, D.C. |

Radical Islam's War On Christian Women Meriam Yahya Ibrahim, a married 27 year-old woman, was recently sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery by a Sudanese court. How can a married woman be guilty of adultery? Sudan, which is governed by radical Islamic or Sharia law, refuses to recognize Meriam's marriage to her Christian husband, Daniel Wani, an American citizen. Under Sharia law, a Muslim woman cannot marry a Christian, and Meriam is considered to be a Muslim because her father was. |
