CNSNews.com) - It's the State Department's problem.

On the same day Republican lawmakers urged President Obama to do something about an American war veteran languishing in a Mexican jail, a White House spokesman indicated it's not going to happen.

"My colleagues at the State Department are very focused on this issue," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said at Wednesday's briefing."And so, I'd refer you to them for their efforts to work with the Mexican government."

Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, says he asked Vice President Biden to ask President Obama to call the Mexican president directly to urge leniency for Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi -- but apparently it hasn't happened.

President Ebola trades 5 Terrorist dream team thugs for a probable Army traitor and does NOTHING for this U.S. Marine. Great morale booster for the Troops!

I'd say he didn't care, but I bet he gets chuckle that he's there. A fifteen minute phone call and that Marine would be enroute to San Diego.

Tahmooressi is military, a gun owner, and not even black. There is no chance in the world that Obama will do anything for him.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Last night they were saying as early as this morning.

We’ll probably find that Obama made a deal for Mexico to keep him there till its more politically expedient.

Barry Obola isn’t ever going to do squat to get that Marine back.
