Why is that pos not in prison? That's where he and Hillary belong. Paying ransom to terrorists, smh
No worse then anything Ronald Reagan did. Actually, that was worse undercutting a sitting president. But debating here is like driving in Boston. One way streets.
Because he's not a piece of shit and in many other countries you would be jailed for saying that.
He didn't pay a ransom, you don't care whether you're informed or not. You don't care about being a liar,or a cheat. All you give a flying fuck about is being a true racist pig

You know dude, i I have really tried to treat you as an adult, however the more I see from you the harder it's become. It wasn't a fucking ransom you boob, it was a scheduled payment. There are plenty more heading that way as well. You still defend Bush and his lies about WMDs and Haliburton and everything else. You even said on this very forum you aren't a republican. You aren't sick of lies from anyone, that's the everyday soup you swin in. You're a fucking liar dude, you're lying right fucking now. If you were sick of crooks and liars you'd be notching about Trump, fox news, Bill O'Reilly, hedgehog, Hannity, Limbaugh, Giuliani, so go fuck yourself with that crap, you aren't sock of anything except losing.
You fucking clowns do nothing but bitch about everyone else, not one of you even tries to extol the positives of a single candidate from your party. Your entire political roundtable is petty incessant whining. The fact is the citizenship of our nation is far more tired of people like you than they are at Hillary or Obama. Look at his approval rating domestically and internationally, he'll be chronicled in history tomes as one of this country's most successful presidents and you're going to be just dumb enough to argue that too.
Honesty isn't something you just claim, you have to practice it with yourself as well.

You're a dipshit who's shoveled a ton of ridiculous bs, but this one takes the cake.
BO and Carter are neck and neck for worst presidents of my lifetime and nobody is even close to those two.
I would go up against you in any known intelligence test ever taken by man and flat whip your ass at each and every one, every time. Bush, Bush, and Taft are considered the worst and will remain so.
You go find me ANY actual proof to support your witless comment. That's how fucking dumb you are. By the way, seems like Terrell Pryor will still be scoring touchdowns in the NFL this year, too bad Kaepernick hasn't won that super bowl you guaranteed he'd win over the last few years. Yep, stupid is as stupid you.
Now go get your shine box twit

You are too delusional to argue with about anything :facepalm: It was paid ransom you fucking idiot the government admitted it, I knew it from the beginning. The democrat party is nothing but liars and cheats, you vote that way so I'm sure you are the same
Too bad you said terrell pryor is now a wr when you said was the better quarterback.
And i called out was your bs.....get the familiar trend.....that kaepernick had a weak arm.
But hey.....when the biggest dipshit thinks they're the smartest person around there's no arguing with them.....and to help you out; you're the dipshit.
You are probably right about that. We shall see. I am not defending Bush. Why do always bring him up like freaking clockwork? Thats all you got? Hillary and Bill are biggest political crooks this nation has ever seen. To defend them is asinine. Bought and paid for ten times over. Soros and the Globalist control everything including the Clinton crooks. She is a lying bitch. I detest liars. No integrity. It appears you don't care about that. What does that make you? I am an adult sir. A very respected one at that. Can you say the same? You support a liar and a crook.
:facepalm:
Yep he is and he's still a better quarterback than Kaepernick.

From the beginning huh? When exactly was the beginning waterhead? Tell me when exactly you stated that the money was to pay a ransom for hostages?
You're a liar. Hell you got caught lying by jaek in this very forum in a thread that's still on the front page I believe, what's that make you? That's how big of a liar you are, you can't even keep track of them you do it so much.
You have no moral compass and a total lack of self-awareness and accountability. You're a very lascivious person, that's why you can't argue with anyone. You don't have the wits or wherewithal to do so.
Glad you're going to be miserable for another 8 years, yoy deserve it.

WASHINGTON ? The State Department admitted Thursday that the United States handed over $400 million in cash to Iran only after Tehran released four American hostages ? two weeks after President Obama insisted the payment was not a ?ransom.?
State Department spokesman John Kirby was asked at a press briefing: ?In basic English, you?re saying you wouldn?t give them $400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct??
?That?s correct,? he replied.
In an Aug. 4 press conference, Obama said the opposite.
?We do not pay ransom. We didn?t here, and we won?t in the future,? the president told reporters, speaking of the January payment and hostage release.
Families ?know we have a policy that we don?t pay ransom. And the notion that we would somehow start now, in this high-profile way, and announce it to the world, even as we?re looking in the faces of other hostage families whose loved ones are being held hostage, and saying to them we don?t pay ransom, defies logic,? Obama added at the time.
He even lectured the press for daring to raise the issue.
?It?s been interesting to watch this story surface. Some of you may recall, we announced these payments in January. Many months ago. There wasn?t a secret. We announced them to all of you. [Press secretary Josh Earnest] did a briefing on them.
?This wasn?t some nefarious deal,? the president said.
?It wasn?t a secret. We were completely open with everybody about it and it is interesting to me how suddenly this became a story again.?
The US claims the money, delivered in stacks of cash aboard an unmarked cargo plane, was part of a settlement of a longstanding dispute with the Iranian regime over a never-completed arms deal from the 1970s.
Kirby continued to maintain Thursday that ?the two negotiations were separate,? referring to the hostage release and the arms deal.
Kirby?s comments came after the Wall Street Journal reported that the plane carrying $400 million crisscrossed the one returning the four Americans.
The paper had earlier reported that senior Justice Department officials had objected to sending the cash at the same time as the hostage release, but their objections were overruled by the State Department.
?People knew what it was going to look like, and there was concern the Iranians probably did consider it a ransom payment,?? one official told the Journal.
Critics said the president damaged himself by claiming there was no connection between the payment and the hostages.
?I think most of the world believes it is a ransom payment,? Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) told CNN.
?And the Obama administration, they lost credibility. They drew a red line and said they didn?t [pay ransom]. It is recorded. CNN has tapes of it. Every major network does . . . It looks fishy.?

The definition of ransom, you mindless liberals try to spin it and it was simply a ransom, you liberals are idiots....Obama should be in prison :0074
He has lied about so many things in 7.5 years but as usual the media will give him a free ride.
Blacks are so much worse off now than there were under the past several presidents. Median income is down, black youth unemployment has skyrocketed . You have to go back to the 60's to find race relations worse than they are now.
153 days until the Worst President since Jimmy Carter is Gone.
Only problem is the Bitch is Next. That will be good for the fried chicken franchises that offer the Hillary special. " 2 fat thighs, 2 small wings and a left wing".
Maybe they will serve those for free on January 20th.
123 million dollars given to Hillary by Wall Street and by Hedge Funds.
19k given to Trump.
Ask yourself ...if elected who will be the whore?
