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:
GOP '14 msg so far – attacking POW, attacking those getting health care, loving on Putin and running down economy. Inspired.

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.

FFY. "@davidplouffe: Dem '14 msg–forget veterans, loving on terrorists, and running down economy w/bad EPA regs & tragic hc law. Inspired."

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!

@davidplouffe LOL nice attempt at spinning but complete BS

Dear @davidplouffe POW? that remains to be seen. So far he's a deserter. Healthcare is a joke. Putin plays O like a violin->that's funny.

As far as Bergdahl is concerned, Plouffe doesn’t have much ground to stand on when it comes to standing behind our military:
"Yes, I do remember the Obama campaign's 2008 campaign against John McCain. Why do you ask?" https://t.co/fPFJgWKQcb

Osama Bin Laden raid in the rear mirror, @davidplouffe comes out in full-throated in attacking #Bergdahl platoon soldiers as GOP operatives.
— Brad Cundiff (@bradcundiff) June 3, 2014
.@davidplouffe Let me know when #Bergdahl gets his POW Medal.

No wonder leftists hate soldiers/veterans so much. They consider them part of the GOP https://t.co/kvQhsodjCj @davidplouffe

@OrwellForks @davidplouffe That's why they don't mind letting them die waiting for the VA.
— The Real Bepo (D) (@TheRealBepo) June 3, 2014
@davidplouffe Attacking those getting healthcare? Who the hell has been running the VA while vets waste away and die?
— Allen (@wcu80) June 3, 2014
None of that is true. None. Yet you keep spitting out lies like rabies foam. @davidplouffe
— Keep Calm and Carry (@johnnyfriegas) June 3, 2014
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.
