Trump doesn’t have anything to do with this. Obama paid a $150 billion ransom.

If Trump had not mentioned it in every speech they would still be rotting in jail. Obama and Kerry did not give a damn about them.

lol. I thought that too, but then I heard on Fox News that we are releasing their own money........that is hilarious. We took their money and now we are going to give some back. What is Iran a child’s country or something.

Yes! It is their assets but still it is $150 billion to buy a lot of nukes with.

Odumbo and his ilk paid the 150 billion, that is correct but Iran knew that Trump would not. Guess in the end, Trump was right again.

Not one single candidate, not even Cruz, made such a big deal about the hostages as Trump. He mentioned them in every single speech and interview he did. That is what you call results. The Trump effect!

We released seven in return, no doubt hardened jihadis and spies ripe with knowledge. Maybe the Kenyan and Kerry need to dust off that copy of The Art of the Deal.

True but I think it is funny that we were able to take their money. Actually I think we should have put it towards our debt. Any other countries we can confiscate their money and put it towards our debt? We keep this up and soon we will only have a small debt (I guess paying it off is not good for some dumb reason).

Who did we give them?
I am hearing 7.
Which 7.

Once again, Obama loses. Can’t even get an equitable 4 for 4 deal. Always on the down side.

My guess is their 7 are a lot more dangerous than a writer and a pastor.

This administration will spin this, but if history serves as a guide, we are going to give back legit criminals and or terrorists for non-criminals who were basically kidnapped.

Obama has no idea how to exercise power. He is weak before the strong and strong before the weak. This man is a total idiot. I am seriously wondering if he is simply not one of them and doing as much as he can to help the terrorists.

He knows exactly what he is doing. He is strengthening Iran, and other hostile countries, while destroying the USA. Period.

If Obama goes to Dubai to live as is rumored it will all be obvious that he is a true Muslim. Since there is a home in Hawaii and Dubai, I bet Michelle and Obama will have an arrangement like Bill and Hillary.

What is this dual national BS?
You’re either an American or not.
