Today, during a joint presser in Brussels with UK Prime Minister David Cameron, President Obama had this to say about the controversy over the Bergdahl swap:
PresObama on Bergdahl swap: "I'm never surprised by controversies that are whipped up in Washington. That's par for the course."

As for criticism of the deal to free Bergdahl, Pres Obama said he's "never surprised by controversies whipped up in Washington."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 5, 2014
So Obama is not sorry for releasing terrorists for Bergdahl, says he isn't surprised by controversies "whipped up by Washington."

He’s not sorry. At all:
President again strongly defends #Bergdahl prisoner swap: "we saw an opportunity, we seized it. and i make no apologies for it."
— Ed Henry (@edhenry) June 5, 2014
Nice double down, bro. RT @CuffyMeh: Obama' "No apologies." So there's that.

Citizens, including Bergdahl’s own platoon mates, are rightfully concerned about the prisoner swap. And with his flippant “whipped up” dismissal, the president is basically spitting in their faces.
President Obama dismisses any honest, serious and justifiable questions on Bergdahl as a 'whipped up controversy.' Sigh.

Oh, the #TalibanSWAP is just a "whipped up controversy" in Washington. Sure, Mr. President.

@markknoller Ignoring the law = a whipped up controversy. Got it.

"Whipped up"?! "Not surprised what Washington whips up"! POTUS answers question in Bussels about Bergdahl. Our national security is serious!
— Rosanna (@RGChronicles) June 5, 2014
In the Barack Obama dictionary, "whipped up controversy" = "facts I don't like." #bergdahl
— John Ennis (@JohnEnnisIV) June 5, 2014
Obama refers to vets speaking out on Bergdahl as "Washington whipping up controversy." Heavens.

"Whipped up controversies". That's rich.#Bergdahl

Obama thinks he can just brush this off with "whipped up controversy." Not going to work this time.
— Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) June 5, 2014
To say it's been "whipped up" is to discount the accounts/opinions of those who would know best.

"I'm never surprised by controversies that are whipped up in Washington." 'Cause I started all of them. Period. -Barack

Insanity if he can't recognize at least one problem with it RT @AsheSchow: Obama: #Bergdahl is a "whipped up" controversy.

Absolutely shameful.

— Gina (@MamaBling) June 5, 2014
