Mr. President, shouldn't we run this by the Teapublicans first..................
Teapublicans have pointed out that President Obama failed to inform them of negotiations involving the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan. It has been pointed out that congress should have had 30 days to assess the ramifications of this situation.
Bergdahl release arrangement could threaten the safety of Americans, Republicans say
Top Republicans on the Senate and House armed services committees went so far as to accuse President Obama of having broken the law, which requires the administration to notify Congress before any transfers from Guantanamo are carried out.

Obama should always, Always inform Teapublicans on any action involving foreign affairs.
It's not like they would give out classified information merely for political gains or something.........
Republicans Tip world off to covert CIA Role in Libya
The politicization by the Republican Party of the tragic attack on the US consulate in Benghazi has been a security disaster for the United States. A document dump by Congressman Darrell Issa outed the identities of Libyans working with the US.

House GOP outs ‘undercover CIA operation in Libya’ on C-SPAN
Chaffetz’s and Issa’s outbursts ensured that every terrorist in the world would now be checking C-SPAN to find out what the CIA was hiding in Benghazi, and that the base in Benghazi would become a high-priority target, as the CIA is frowned upon by Al Qaeda terrorists and others.

Of course, Teapublicans will give no thought to that. It would spoil their fun. Spoil their new battle cry.
