Obama is deaf to disagreement not because he doesn't hear it but because in his very quotidian leftist mind disagreement with the truth leftists bring is illegitimate.
Those tin ears are great. I want one. How great it will be to whip out a tin ear from my backpack when someone is speaking in whispers and I'm all, "What? What? What?" It pisses me off when they refuse to raise their voice above ambient din. Wham! Tin ear, "Eh?" Come again..."
But no hearing aid can help Obama nor Susan Rice, nor any of the spokespersons for his administration. None of them have any idea at all of the things of which they speak, yet speak they do, on and on and on and on.

Jammie Wearing Fools has two Fox videos (they watch so we don't have to) of the same material.
The prelude to the first video is infuriating. The woman is all, "We don't know yet. We've yet to find out. Those service guys are liars." Things that men who served firsthand know, took fire looking for the guy, who know their mission changed from forward base to looking for a deserter, they've (the white house) yet to discover. Yet she bangs on delivering military axiom.
But the infuriating thing is having Party-minded, politics-minded, men and women who have not served mouthing axioms such as "Never leave a man behind" and "Served honorably" without any idea at all what that actually means. To misuse those phrases so egregiously in ways that expose their ignorance. Tin ear understates abject ignorance when it's coming from positions of leadership and power from basically children. Children with Ivy League educations. It's awful. I do know deaf people with better hearing than being shown here. Awful. Just awful. And they're too stuck, too ignorant to know it. For all their bright shiny education for all their political astuteness regarding maneuvering and base voter management, they know absolutely nothing about how the world actually works and the motivates anybody other than politically-minded people, often sinister motives arising from other cultures entirely, Taliban culture, and certainly military culture. And these basically children presume to know more than people who live it, presume to know it all. While admitting, well, we don't know yet. It's yet to be seen. While everyone else sees.
For Susan Rice the concept of serving honorably is the sterling ability to lie through her face with facility and actually believe the false sayings at the moment of speaking, or the ability to be entirely flexible to benefit Party, to jump right in and be whatever is necessary at the moment, unaffected by such things as loyalty to truth, rather serving honorably in bending truth to immediate need. She is amazing. Amazingly deplorable. Honor to her is honor to Party, honor to her boss, honor to whatever it takes to advance her own career in dishonesty, and not honor to truth. It's weird to behold.
My favorite part of Ralph Peter's piece is "quite possibly the most-hated individual soldier in the history of our military." + "In one of the most tone-deaf statements in White House history" = "(we’re making a lot of history here)," Ha ha ha, good one Col. Peters. I wish you had a deeper and less whinging voice.

Why yes, indeed. Amazing how this just grates on me.

No surprise. Lying is what senior government executives do best.
I note the reference to Nixon in the image. He was nailed because the Demos held Congress (as they had for 40 years) and Katherine Graham had a score to settle.
If we had more Republicans instead of Whigs, life might be a little rough for Choom, too.
But I don't think it's a tin ear as much as desperation. All their wonderful plans are collapsing and I'll bet they have been given some very bad news about what's on the horizon.
They thought they could change the subject, but their perpetually slipshod methods have laid them by the heels again.
"Bowe has been lynched without a trial," said Lee Ann Goddard Ferris, a neighbor of the soldier's family who has known Bergdahl's father, Bob, for 35 years and describes herself as a conservative Republican. "These are good people. These are good and loyal Americans."
@ rabel SRSLY? According to the host, out of the 800+ comments present at the link, the less than civil ones were deleted by him under the civility rule he set forth in 2014, following an unmanageable influx of uncivil comments.
ARM ....I don't think the negativity toward the Bergdahl affair is unusual. The President caused most of the questions by his Rose Garden hoopla. He seems to have a tin ear about matters such as this...just does not have an every-day guy's outlook. He seems to combine the worst cluelessness of Carter and Nixon, with some LBJ arrogance mixed in to the batch....but none of the LBJ accomplishents, such as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
How did he think no one would notice that this "exchange" was first proffered two plus years ago? Why did he not know that that time lapse made a difference?
As a parent I understand the emotions represented, but as a former soldier I also understand the questions now raised. For one, as the latter, I am willing to let the story evolve and refrain from judgment until more is known with some degree of certainty. However, as that former soldier I am inclined to hear the voices now raised by his companions in his old unit.
I am very inclined to disregard media focused aspersions toward veterans, in particular that once cast toward Admiral Stockdale as a dofus battle fatigued old vet. Really? I didn't vote for Perot & Stockdale, (I voted for Clinton and that other guy...the real dofus) but come on now. The stories surrounding the POW's from Vietnam also contain criticisms of various POW's by other POW's. Most of those men never made page 19, Section B, below the fold. Can you understand how and why there might be criticism of this surprise Rose Garden fandango and those involved?
I also wonder why more publicized effort has not apparently been made to recover other Americans held hostage or imprisoned elsewhere. Bergdahl is not the only one. I recently heard of another guy (truck driver) recovered with far less fan fare. So what is it with this Bergdahl case?
And please don't do as some are already trying to make a comparison of..."Swift Boating" of John Kerry. That would never have happened had he not made is military service a focal point of his campaign. Since I served where he served and live where he began his "Winter Soldier Investigation" I can tell you or anyone else that John Kerry is a complete liar on all matters related to those events.
Footnote: I voted for the preace candidate in my first Presidential election where I could vote and promptly found my self headed for war....albeit he managed to get the Civil Rights issues of the day through Congress...something I'd worked for and favored in my guise as a working full time night school college guy. So I voted for the next peace candidate from the opposite party and found myself stuck in war. You could say my precience isn't very good, I suppose. Subsequent to Clinton, I voted again for the opposition vbecasue I could not think about Gore without the urge to hurl chunks. Then that President formed the Department of Homeland Security...that Orwellian POS that improved not one bit of intra-governmental coordination, but vastly increased the bureaucracy It had to, that is all it was ever made up of, another fat layer, and its inclination was to cannibalize other gency work..think FEMA, formerly a collection of bookkeepers...now acquiring MRAPS etc for what, I'll listen. I was a military "fed" during those days and could see the folly as it unfolded....I was dumbfounded. So you mmight say I'm tnot the guy to listen to on this crap....ful disclosure if you will ;)
I just finished reading the entire thing and all the comments. Seems somebody has found a new home and nickname....but has the same inane ideas.
Best comments were by Spinelli, which is no surprise. Like me, he seems willing to wait until more evidence and details are known and shown, while still reserving some suspicion based upon what is known now. He makes a sound point on the issue of "hostage" and who is and who isn't one, officially and practically.

He has a tin ear?

You forgot "RACIST!", too.
President Obama's approval rating is so low that Kenyans are now claiming that he was born in the USA.
Yes - even the Keynesians are jumping ship.
Those tin ears are great. I want one. How great it will be to whip out a tin ear from my backpack when someone is speaking in whispers and I'm all, "What? What? What?" It pisses me off when they refuse to raise their voice above ambient din. Wham! Tin ear, "Eh?" Come again..."

The Obama work out tape is hilarious. To anyone who has ever worked with weights.
Wonder if he's still going to show up for D-Day ceremonies. Will make the icy reception at West Point look like a tropical paradise.
Pro Dem media are pushing white house talking points.
The Obama Workout Tape
"Bowe has been lynched without a trial," said Lee Ann Goddard Ferris, a neighbor of the soldier's family who has known Bergdahl's father, Bob, for 35 years and describes herself as a conservative Republican. "These are good people. These are good and loyal Americans."
It might be the primo marijuana chocolate candy talking, but I am actually interested in what Inga thinks about the Taliban exchange.
Was it awful enough to break the spell?
Hey Rabel...careful what you summon ;-))
Oh, God! What have I done?
@ rabel

So the Drudgasm of hate towards Bergdahl has begun to subside and the walk of shame begins.
Somewhere Mariusz Pudzanowski needs a new pair of pants, because he shit himself laughing at Barry O's workout video.
