‘The president didn’t care about it enough to make a simple phone call’
A group of politicians’ efforts to secure the release of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican jail paid off Friday night. California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher says President Obama was “AWOL” throughout the process.
The Republican Congressman told The Washington Times on Saturday that he and California RepublicanRep. Ed Royce, former New MexicoGov. Bill Richardson, and Arizona RepublicanRep. Matt Salmon took it upon themselves to fight for Mr. Tahmooressi when President Obama did not.
“The president, who is also the commander in chief, didn’t do his job,” Mr. Rohrabacher said. “There is a lack of concern for this man, for this American hero who served our country. As commander in chief he showed a total disdain and non-interest in an American hero who served us in Afghanistan and a total disregard for the fact that he was suffering.”
Mr. Rohrabacher said that while the Counsel General in Tijuana and members of congress were mobilized to try to save Mr. Tahmooressi, Mr. Obama had gone “AWOL” in the battle.
“The president not stepping forward was a slap in the face to veterans,” Mr. Rohrabacher said. “The president didn’t care about it enough to make a simple phone call.”

Dana is right. Obutt never did a thing to help Tamoreessi.

You can count Obola to do one or both of two things, take credit and court marshal him.
Obama is a DreamWorks production (gay California $$$$$).
Axelrod copied a lot of the same things he used to get Deval Patrick elected in Massachusetts.
And without a TelePrompTer, Obama would look foolish and incompetent with all the stuttering.
Rohrabacher is great.

Weeks after accusing President Bush of “shameful” behavior over the imprisonment of two Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed suspected drug smuggler along the U.S.-Mexico border, a federal lawmaker turned up the heat further, suggesting the president should be impeached if the two men are killed in prison.

True! Sometimes just for fun I look up Youtube videos of Obama w’out a teleprompter. (I.e.: in most cases, where he had one but it malfunctioned.) So funny! Sad too, though, when you realize this empty suit is actually the POTUS. The MSM has a lot to answer for.
Obama was too busy ensuring Mexican criminals stayed free in our country - had no time to support an innocent American in Mexico...
Thanks jazusamo.
