    At this point in the obama admin "Talking" has become synonymous with "lying." Its funny cause obama has spewed so much nonsense that one can safely assume anything he says is a lie.

    I dont understand where these guys are coming from, whether they are so dumb they think they will get away with it, or such con artists that they are simply incapable of telling the truth, either way Obama has become a laughing stock.

    This video sums up the obama admin.

    White House: 90 in Administration Knew of Bergdahl Deal, But Not Congress

    Between 80 and 90 administration staffers knew about the trade of five Taliban leaders for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl even though Congress was kept in the dark, CNN reports, and members of both parties are unhappy about it.

    During a classified briefing to the entire House of Representatives late Monday afternoon, White House officials said that up to 90 people had prior knowledge of the trade.

    House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon called that news "disturbing," partly because of the high number who knew and partly because the White House has been saying it didn't inform Congress until after the swap was made because it feared Bergdahl's life might be in danger if there had been a leak.

    McKeon, a California Republican, told CNN he wants to get an exact number of those who knew and their names.

    "My question to them was, if you don't know who knew, then how could you – if a leak had happened and the sergeant had been killed – how could you go back and find out who leaked?" McKeon said.

    "It strikes me as unfortunate that they could have 80 to 90 people in the administration aware of what was happening and not be able to trust a single Republican or Democrat in the House or the Senate," Representative Greg Walden of Oregon, a member of the House of Representatives Republican leadership, told reporters after leaving a briefing on the exchange.

    Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will testify on Wednesday before the Armed Services Committee. McKeon said additional hearings and briefings are planned as part of the panel's investigation.

    Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., said President Barack Obama is "not going to get away with this one," and described it as an "arrogant thumbing of his nose by the president of the United States at the Congress of the United States. ... This is going to cost American lives."

    Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, declined to offer a defense of the administration when offered the chance by CNN's Ashleigh Banfield.

    "It didn't sit very well with those of us who were listening at the briefing," Schiff said of the news that so many administration staffers knew of the decision ahead of time.
