As usual Barry is embroiled in yet another scandal this one concerning the VA.
As I said before he doesn't do anything unless he sees a political gain. A fine example was his recent trip to Afghanistan to divert attention from the VA scandal. The message was…see I love the troops…until they outed a CIA chief and it blew up in his face. Another golden opportunity to look like a champion has come his way and so far Barry has chose to pass it up. I'm talking about Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi.
The story is he made a wrong turn and somehow ended up in Mexico with three guns is his car and was subsequently thrown in jail. He also suffers from PTSD (guns and PTSD never go well together but that's a story for another day). The bottom line is Tahmooressi served his country admirably and his case deserves to be looked in to. But Barry and Stedman were preoccupied with the botched execution of a Black man (Clayton Lockett) calling it "deeply troubling". Barry asked Stedman to analyze problems with the implementation of the death penalty. This for a guy who shot a woman before burying her alive while Tahmooressi, a decorated vet, is left to rot in a Mexican jail.
Shows where the priorities of this administration lie.
All said and done Barry has the upper hand. He could threaten Mexico by enforcing our immigration laws (sad when you think about it) since we employ more of their citizens then they do. If additional arm twisting is needed maybe Valerie could write a little speech for Barry starting with this line.
Lets here it for Barry! (yea)
