For nearly six years, Obama and his supporters have managed to fend off allegations that his foreign policy is even more ideological - and far more radical - than Bush's by channeling the public's aversion to pie-in-the-sky rhetoric and obfuscating facts.

US President Barack Obama is an artist of political propaganda. Both his greatest admirers and his most vociferous opponents agree that his ability to manipulate public opinion has no peer in American politics today.

Bowe Bergdahl, but to take ownership over the decision by presenting it to the American people in a ceremony with Bergdahl's parents at the White House Rose Garden? Clearly Obama overreached. He misread the public's disposition.

This much is made clear by the immediate criticism his actions received from the liberal media. It wasn't just Fox News and National Review that said Obama broke the law when he failed to notify Congress of the swap 30 days prior to its implementation.

It was CNN and NBC News.

MSNBC commentators criticized the swap. And CNN interviewed Bergdahl's platoon mates who to a man accused him of desertion, with many alleging as well that he collaborated with the enemy.
