The optics are getting pretty ugly for the Obama administration. On top of everything else the White House is running from, with mounting evidence suggesting that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl deserted his platoon, the name of the game for Team Obama is damage control.
Former White House senior adviser and dedicated Obama flack David Plouffe is up to the task:

Quick! Blame Republicans! For everything.

He should be. The Obama administration is reaping the fruits of its incompetence and downright destructive policies.
Plouffe can try and shift blame until he’s blue in the face. In the end, there’s no denying that the Obama White House has done bad all by itself.
.@davidplouffe His own platoon attacked, not GOP, we aren't getting HC, we don't like Putin, and Obama trashed the economy.

Interesting. Wasn't @davidplouffe saying the economy was getting better? Now the GOP are running it down? https://t.co/6A8aGchgyG

That @davidplouffe blames GOP for the economy sucking, after years of saying how good it is, shows he's either a liar or incompetent.

Who says he can’t be both?
.@davidplouffe LOL. It's adorable how you squeezed so much nonsense into one tweet. Well done, sir!

As far as Bergdahl is concerned, Plouffe doesn’t have much ground to stand on when it comes to standing behind our military:

Osama Bin Laden raid in the rear mirror, @davidplouffe comes out in full-throated in attacking #Bergdahl platoon soldiers as GOP operatives.

None of that is true. None. Yet you keep spitting out lies like rabies foam. @davidplouffe

What’s wrong, David? Cat got your tongue?

Indeed. Unfortunately, the White House doesn’t share that sentiment:
@ByronYork @blackandgold43 @davidplouffe The truth would set a dangerous precedent for this administration.
