It strikes me that this is basically just being used as another stick to beat Obama with, just as it would be if Bergdahl was still sitting in his Taliban prison, people would be beating Obama with the 'Why haven't you gotten him released' 'Bring our boy back home' stick, exactly as I have already demonstrated in this thread with the screenshot from someones twitter account. Damned if you do and damned if you don't, but that's exactly what being a US President is all about.
I don't think anyone was beating Obama about getting Berg free, he's been known about and numerous deals considered and previously refused by Obama, including one to let 3 go. For whatever the push this time seems to be his health, although he looked rather healthy on camera.. Obvious some politics behind doing this now we may know or never about...
