President Obama called Tuesday for the release of Americans held in Iran, individually naming them during a speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention -- a week after his diplomatic team helped strike a nuclear accord with Iran that did not secure the prisoners' freedom.
The deal's failure to address the prisoners' status has fueled criticism of the Obama administration, though State Department officials have said they raised their imprisonment repeatedly. The president also scolded a reporter last week at a White House press conference for suggesting he was "content" to leave the prisoners out of the deal.

Pathetic.
I guess it’s possible, but I don’t think that is the case.
How does Obam gain from this?
Yep
What a scumbag this POS is, I don’t know why I am still shocked and surprised when he pulls something like this,you would think that I would have learned by now.
I see obama is rising up to his Jimmy Carter moment...
I disagree. He waited until there was no chance that they would be released, and he wouldn’t offend the Iranians.
Really...? You have to ask?
WOW. What bold leadership.
In other words, he did want them before but decided to wait until after the deal Then, he can look like a forceful leader who secured their release by his awesomely awesome aweesomeness, and the mullahs can show how humanitarian they are.
The media will lap it up like everything else Obama does.
It makes it look to the stupid, uninformed US voter that he actually GOT something from the "deal".
In reality, he got jack squat.
I've NEVER seen a "negotiation" where one side got EVERYTHING, and the other side claims some sort of "victory".
It's like losing all of your money in Vegas, and then bragging about what a great hotel you stayed at.
[WHATs GOT INTO HIM?]
CHOOM
He wants it on the record that he tried...
No he didn’t.
You’re right.
OMG,,..seriously?
King Obama cares so much doesn’t he? First he has to be FORCED to lower the flag to half-staff,
now his social network team informs him it might be a good idea to actually PRETEND care about those US prisoners held in Iran.
And of course, we’re not supposed to notice his stupidity or lack of concern,,right?
Check mate...... Major Garrett just won!
If CBS is smart, then they will promote him.
Oh and this is a lesson to the rest of the rat infested media.
Remember they got mad at Garrett for asking a real question.
Oh no, you don’t get it.
It’s only OK when King Obama brings up the topic. He has trained his lapdog press in the MSM to take cues as to when to bring up things.
See? That’s why the lib MSM had to attack Garrett. NOW they will give King Obama all the glory for mentioning concern for those held in Iran.
See how fake they are?
Actually, it's worse than that. Now they'll never have to report on or talk about what's actually in the treaty - from here on out, it's all about the hostages/prisoners.
The bobble-head was Obama.
You just stated you’d vote for Obama over Trump? Really?
Am I understanding you right?

All the lap dog media does is obey..., their master
LOL... Good analogy.
To ask for the hostages after the agreement?
Why not during, or even before as a good-faith gesture?
Can you explain what you think his thinking was?
This isn’t his agenda. The shear volume of what he is unraveling is too much for one person to come up with. The only rational conclusion is that a Leftist Anti-U. S. think tank is coming up with this and instructing Obama what to do on an almost hourly basis.
Obama is too stupid to get out of his own way.
He can’t even utter a couple of sentences without a prompter.
His IQ is not superior. His leadership skills are not superior. His grasp of international affairs has him bowing from the waist. He’s a clown.
I’m not buying the idea he earned his grades either.
Let me end with this. If this guy was as smart as they say he is, he would spend about thirty seconds on a speech and know it by heart.
I repeat myself, but he can’t even remember three sentences.
