Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk has a way with words — and Tuesday, he blasted President Barack Obama for acting more like a “drug dealer in chief” than the commander-in-chief.
That’s what he said in an interview with The State Journal Register, who spoke to Kirk about the Obama administration’s $400 million ransom payment to Iran.
“We can’t have the president of the United States acting like the drug dealer in chief,” Kirk, a Republican, said. “Giving clean packs of money to a … state sponsor of terror. Those 500-euro notes will pop up across the Middle East,” Kirk said. “We’re going to see problems in multiple (countries) because of that money given to them.”
His statements, made Tuesday, came as fellow conservative lawmaker’s promises to keep the heat on the administration by holding hearings on the controversial cash payment in January.
Republicans say the money was ransom to an enemy of American interests. The Obama administration denies this, but their explanations on the secret cash payout have not satisfied critics in and out of Congress.
Republican presidential candidate Trump has begun telling supporters at his campaign rallies that Obama “openly and blatantly” lied about the prisoners. House Speaker Paul Ryan said Obama has set a “dangerous precedent” and owes the public a “full accounting of his actions.”
According to The Guardian, Kirk’s campaign won’t back down from his comments. In a statement, Kirk’s campaign manager Kevin Artl said, “Senator Kirk was referring to the Administration’s decision to send pallets of cash, not even US dollars but euros and Swiss francs, in a clear ransom payment to Iran, world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”
“The decision sets an awful and dangerous international standard that should be investigated and the lack of transparency from the Administration clearly indicated they knew their actions were not above board,” Artl said.
Kirk is currently engaged in a tough re-election bid against Rep. Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat. The Senate seat is considered one of the most vulnerable Republican heading into November.

I BELIEVE SENATOR MARK KIRK WAS 100 PERCENT CORRECT . I WILL GO A LITTLE FURTHER OBAMA IS THE MOST CORRUPT PERSON TO EVER HOLD ANY POLITICAL OFFICE.
For once, Sen Kirk is doing the right thing.
He’s fighting for his seat, the only leverage he has now is to attack Obama as he has alienated himself BY SPEAKING OUT AGAINST TRUMP. In other words, he another Marxist rino
I have never seen such corruption in government! We have an ‘idiot and chief’, supporting the biggest liar, cheat, murderer, trying to turn this country into a giant toilet!!! Thank God for Trump! I sure hope he makes it, and get rid of all the evil! Since obama LOVES vacations, we should send him and his wonderful family to Iran, on a one way trip for a permanent vacation ( lots of sand where he can practice getting his golf ball out of the trap). As far as killary, the color orange is definitely her color!
Oh dear!!”lots of sand”!!That’s Saudi Arabia and the the other “gulf” states.–a long long way from Iran!!.Why are you Americans so dumb and vulgar?.
And just who are you?
Because we have a coward and lier in OUR White House he lies as bad as Hillary his Student ! He should be impeached and a yellow strip down his back
There is no sand in Iran?
Thank you, genius, for pointing that out to us.
Q: Is it true that George W. Bush took more vacation days than Barack Obama?
A: Yes. Before his two-week trip to Martha’s Vineyard in August, Obama’s count was 125 full or partial days and Bush’s total at the same point in his presidency was 407.
You might take notice that Bush vacations were spent at their ranch in Texas, not in expensive hotel resorts, or CAMP DAVID, which is near DC. HUGE difference. I don’t think the Bush faily took dozens or 100’s of people with them!
family
Also, He is the First President to have to use 3 planes everywhere he goes. So much for the carbon footprint left by this man. He is also wants more background checks on people that purchase guns. Did he do a background check on the people he gave guns to in Benghazi or Mexico? How many passed the background check and who did he give the guns to?
George Bush would go to his ranch on his days off ,if a problem arose he would get back to Washington. I don’t call that vacation time.
WE HAVE A JIHADIST-IN-CHIEF!
I couldn’t have said it any better. Great Job!!☺
Bob Roberts is right on the mark. Both Obama and Hilary are guilty MANY things in eluding treason. Where’s our Sept of justice? Being run by Muslims??
Our justic system was put in by Obamama without consent from congress remember he chose his own judge’s they are covered by justice, media, an the corruption of every democrate in office even the FBI. They both sould be prosecuted for treason an lieing to the Americans. Just the 400 million he sent to Iran should be enough to throw them under the Bus an prison!!!!
This is only one lie uncovered,I know there are more.People have start asking the right questions like Why the big Push for Syrians,Muslims or Islamic People when they want our Country but the aren’t Civilized There main Goal is to exterminate Americans Christians Jews,Catholics,Baptist,methodist etc.Our Constitution was put in place to protect Americans from Foreign Countries with Religious agenda’s as well Protecting Americans from there own Government in the event that it goes Rogue which it has!!!!!!!ObamaDictator Hillary next Dictator if the Laws don’t apple to them then Once they are in office nothing can stop them,she will be the next. Nazi Merkel
I agree, though you forgot about his sidekick Crocked Hillary Clinton.. while she was Secretary of State. So sad !!!!!????????????
Yes….the truth hurts.
I agree with you 100% he is a corrupt lying TYRANT!!!!
president maggot should be impeached, and put in jail for crimes against the country. what a classless animal he is… he is bound and determined to bring down the country, he is in cahoots with that other class act george soros we have to get him impeached before its to late
John, you’re right. WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LAME CONGRESS THAT CHARGES HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN DISCUSSED! He is definitely trying to bring down the country. 5 more months of him is too much…this needs to happen now.
And they wonder why Americans are fed up with politicians.
In my opinion, most in Congress are receiving kickbacks from Big Business, (Cereal Companies, Oil Companies, Big Pharma, Wall Street, etc.). This is why nothing is done in Congress. Some are good and try to do the right thing but most are like Reid, Pelosi and other liberals and care nothing about America or its citizens. It’s was I can get. ME ME ME Attitude.
Don’t forget the Clinton Foundation buying all they can
This Senator, Has spoken the truth about Obama, he has nothing to apologize for! The Congress, Senate need to
apologize to the American People for allowing the Democrats and Obama to remain in power!
Kirk is absolutely right, and who is this Tammy duckbill or duck worth or what ever the persons name is, sounds like a quack, leave her in the pasture to get rebred.
Everybody knows obama is a heartless person who only goes after his own pleasures ( on government expenses ) He had done nothing good but destroyed AMERICA with his stupid agendas. It would be better if he just took the money spending as many trillions as he please, go on a perpetual vacation for 8 years but just don’t do anything to this nation with his radical stupid policies that only helping the enemies, then Americans would be much better off.
Sen Kirk is 100% correct & I too will go further. Obama is so corrupt that along with his narcisism & arrogance he is down right sickening. Words are not adequate to explain just how despicable he is. He and Hillary are cut from the same cloth!!!
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% & KILLERY IS THE MOST CUNNING GRIFTER TO EVER HAD HELD GOVERNMENT OFFICE! VOTE TRUMP!
I have to disagree, I think H Clinton has got him beat but not by much
THATS FOR SURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do anyone NOT think that Obama, Clinton and the rest of that pack of Democrats are gangsters at the very least? And what is worse, it doesn’t matter to the average stupid liberal American voter.
I wish that he would go back to Hawaii today, but, allow the congress to appoint a fill-in Pres. Not our Vice-Pres !!!
well i agree he is one of the most corrupt but hillery is way worse.her and her and slick willy have had people killed .oh hell i guess big o has done the same.
Obama does not have to listen to anyone. He is Muslim in chief and nobody and I mean nobody is going to stop him. There’s nobody in the congress or senate who has the balls to stop him. That’s pretty evident after eight years of presidential corruption and still going strong.
I’m still wondering why Obama hasn’t been charged with the things he
has done contrary to the good of our nation. Where are the Republicans?
Because He is BLACK. IF IT WAS A WHITE Republican He would be in jail. I am Black
How about you getting a rally together with blacks and showing how corrupt Obsma and Hillary are and have national news cover it. If the blacks do this he cannot say it is racism.
I wrote a reply to this Åland it is not shown. Must be the rotten demos at work again
What is wrong with it
Thank you for stating that. The left and the MSM would love it if we all believed that we are all divided and that minorities are easily manipulated. Very offensive.
Your repugs are the worst. They do mean things and wipe their mouth and shout the loudest. All of them have very large skeletons in their cupboards. Trump is liar number 1
dont worry about Trump he will do just fine, with you or without , Now you make a common about lies that everyone has and that is true,but when you have lie and admit you are wrong and tell the world since he is running for President now that is something good, but when you lie and keep lying like Hillary and obama do and never admit that you lie well hell is waiting for them as well as us went you know what you are doing and still continues like Hillary obama and many in our government and state, so it good went you can feel good went the burn is off by telling the true like Trump did my vote is for Trump until well my friend have a great week.
Obama should be impeached talk about liars Obama & Hillary are the worst. Amazing people still vote for them. Hope Obama enjoyed his golf vacation & where was crooked Hillary while Louisiana was under water. What a disgrace. The two of them should be in jail
Mary, Weymouth, MA
All sweeping generalizations are false. Including this one.
they all are out to LUNCH!!!!!
Obama is guilty for so much, I cannot believe the Government or the people that support the Communist Progressive Democrat Crime party
The core of Obama’s foreign policy has been one of appeasement and apologies with great deference given to Muslim countries.
No it is lack of comitment to America and it’s people because he is here to destroy us per Alensky edicts.
We got 5 more months of this lying corrupt Muslim DICTATOR IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET MUCH WORSE AND WAKE UP AMERICA MARTIAL LAW IS COMING AND IT WILL ONLY GET COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND AND HE WILL TAKE OVER AND RUN A THIRD TERM AND NON OF THE SPINELESS REPUBLICANS WILL NOT COMFORT HIM BECAUSE THEY R SCARED OF BEING CALLED RACISTS…..The end is coming!!!!!
Not scared to be called racist. They are using the system and getting rich. I would not be surprised if many of them have taken bribes from Obama to go along with him. Otherwise, if they had any balls they would fight for this country and its citizens, not the illegals crossing the border.
Where has $10 trillion gone?
I agree with Senator Kirk. If Obama had been a Democrat he would have been impeached and convicted before his first term ended.
That don,t make no sense he is a democrat. Where is your head at?
Ken u mean republican not democrat being a democrat puts him above the law and they do not answer to anybody only we the people and REPUBLICANS AND GOD FEARING CHRUSTIANS AND JEWS HE THINKS AND TALKS JUST LIKE ADOLPH HITLER AND LOOK WHAT HAPPEN TO GERMANY TOTAL DESTRUCTION IN 1945 and OBAMA IS DESTROYING AMERICA DAILY WITH NO END IN SIGHT!….The only hope we have is JESUS CHRIST COMES BACK AND TAKE OVER..GOD BLESS ANMERICA…II CHRONICLES 7:14!!!!!
My sentiments exactly!!!!!!! We so very much need revival to break out across our nation!!!!!!! Please God, bring our nation to Humble Ourselves, Pray, Seek YOUR Face, AND ( this is verrrry important) TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS!!!!!!!!! This is the only way we can save our freedoms that began so long ago. We are a constitutional REPUBLIC, founded on Judeo Christian principles. Even our constitution was taken from biblical references, check it out!!!!!!!
Please pray for revival, and Donald Trump!!!!!!!
I agree 100% with Senator Mark Kirk.
I can no longer refer to him as President he’s just a clown who doesn’t know his ass from a hot rock.
His only goal is fleecing the American people for as much as possible during the last few months he has left in office to which he has nothing to offer, but an empty suit.
Obama has backed jihad terroist from the get go. His Iran nuclear deal is a disaster for the world and has funded the terroist to continue their atrocities. He has placed Muslims in high positions in the government and had allowed unvetted Muslims into this country leaving them free to plot their next terroist acts against the American people. He should have been impeached years ago.
This administration is guilty of treason and should have been taken care several years ago.
Obama’s foreign policy is a danger to the United States. The American colonists paid dearly for their freedom. But there was much concern that it might slip away from them or from their posterity. The Framers’ intent in drafting the Constitution was to design a system of government that would make it as difficult as possible for the American people to be deprived of their freedom.
The Framers saw two principle dangers threatening their newly won freedom:
The first danger was that unless the powers granted to the central government were sufficient to enable it to perform its functions, the United States could not endure as a strong and united country.
The second danger was that unless a way could be found to protect the people against the human nature tendencies of government officials, freedom would eventually be destroyed by the very government intended to protect it.
Obama, Hillary, and other have been hard at work to remove those protections afforded to us by our Constitution. They would destroy it and our freedom.
Jerome-
Well-written Truth. Thank you.
It’s no wonder many of his staff actually HIDE from him. They know if they speak their mind, say or do anything that might offend him they will be fired immediately, without reason. Worse is that they cannot even discuss their dissatisfaction of Obama with their co-workers, you never know who might be a turn-coat in an effort to get on Obama’s good side. This man is nothing more than an America destroyer. It will take YEARS to repair the damage he’s done.
Jemb-
One reason why D’OweBama was elected in the first place was the hope and expectation that he’d fix the mess that the Shrub left America in. (Personally, i was hoping for the prosecution of the warmongers and profiteers in Iraq and Afghanistan who either did shoddy or NO work but were paid for it, and in addition, “lost” Billions of dollars, inasmuch as they could not – or would not – account for the disappearance of those monies.)
Well, based on the amount of debt he added to the Shrub’s burden, THAT didn’t work out so well, did it? All he did for his first term was to blame his predecessor and Republicans in Congress for stopping the ruination his plans brought. Unfortunately, they didn’t stand up to him effectively, and have not, to this day – which accounts for the lowest approval rating for CongressCretins in HISTORY, and a sustained dissatisfaction, as well.
obama is a muslime thru and thru. He is not a Christian as he claims. He has never been eligible to be in the WH. He is here to destroy America and its people. He has done nothing but bow down to the middle east and apologize for America who has helped to rebuild many European countries after the WW’s at our expense, not theirs. But we are evil people for doing that.
obama needs to go and when Trump gets into office he will undoe all his executive privileges that are strangling this countries growth and its people.
When the Christians were beheaded, where was Obama? A Muslim is happy when a Christian killed.
Agreed ch. Let’s pray that his last four months in office go much faster to avoid more damage.
And this will only continue under the corrupt leadership if we elect Hillary & Bill. God help us all.
We ALL need to start praying that the right person gets into the White House. Obama is the anti-Christ. Clintons should have been In jail a long time ago. You are right. God Bless All those people who sacrificed their lives for this country and look where we are.! Greed is destroying this country!
Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men (persons) of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights: that confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism — free government is founded in jealousy and not in confidence; it is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions; to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power … In question of power then, let not more be heard of confidence in man (or woman), but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
Congress has allowed Obama to break those chains and have not bound him down by them.
Thanks, Wizard-
One of my all-time favorite Jefferson citations.
The OTHER Constitutional solution is to swiftly arrest, try, and convict all officeholders who violate the public trust by lying under their oath of office – aka felony Perjury.
Let just THREE such convictions be brought in by juries in cases involving the Judicial Branch(preferably, a SCOTUS judge or three), the Executive Branch(anyone from NSA head to Preznit), or CongressCretins(anyone from junior House rep to President Pro Tempore of the Senate), and i guarantee the rest’ll sit up and take notice. Officeholders need to FEAR the people, and until they DO, we’ll continue to suffer tyrannies of various kinds at their hands(and pens, and phones).
Got to keep Hillary out if you don’t want more of same.
He is 100% RIGHT! But now since he is running for election ovamit will send his dogs to corrupt the election and he will loose just like what happened to Alan West! Anybody that goes against ovamit GOES DOWN! Wait and c! Its SAD BECAUSE WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM N DC! So people do not back down VOTE FOR ME KIRK AND MAKE SURE UR ELECTIONS DO NOT BECOME FRAUDULANT!
that worthless piece of crap should have been impeached his first term ! he’s a muslim scumbag and how he got there to begin with (oh I know opra-bill cosby etc,etc ! he’s not my president cause I didn’t vote for the sucker ! our house-senate & congress go with the flow and don’t want to break up there pieces of the pie ! 75% of them are robbers and thieves !! Oh (and if they did have a decent bone ) non of them got any balls to go against Obama cause he has black skin even though his mother was white as snow !60% of the whole gov. machine needs wiped clean and start & try to start over with some decent reps who are servents of the people and not of themselves !!!
He’s your president whether you voted for him or not. Unless of course you’re not an American Citizen.
Bruce-
He’s your president whether you voted for him or not.
Ah, another example of spewing from the alleged mind of a Public Fool System graduate.
Let your discretion be informed by the following facts:
The President is president of the Executive Branch of the General government ONLY. He is NOT the president of Congress; he is NOT the president of SCOTUS; he is NOT the president of any State, County, Parish, Town, City, or hamlet. He’s not the president of ANYONE not in the Executive Branch of the General government. He’s not a king. He canNOT lawfully order anyone under his command to violate ANY precept of the Constitution, either – and, in fact, anyone RECEIVING such an order should immediately place the miscreant under ARREST for violation of his Oath of Office, aka felony Perjury.
Unless of course you’re not an American Citizen.
Perhaps you’re unaware of the following sage words of Teddy Roosevelt:
“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”
— Theodore Roosevelt (Republican) in the Kansas City Star, May 7, 1918
So, what do you think? Would you describe yourself as base, servile, or both?
I do not think he went far enough, good for him!! At least he has a set.
Keep the pressure up on Obama. Support the senator 100%. About time someone tells it like it has been. Now. See if liberal press has what it takes to fairly report this. This president is nothing but an America wrecker.
Maybe that’s why obama wants to keep letting illegal aliens flood into this country, bringing their heroin and marijuana and whatever else they have to sell. He certainly doesn’t want a secure border…..the other day old hillary said our border with Mexico is safer than it’s ever been! For a full-time liar, she sure thinks people will believe her. We live in AZ….she knows NOTHING!!!!!
The boarders are certainly safer than they ever have been for anyone involved in illegal activities.
I THINK IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS ARE IN ORDER! IF NOT, THEN THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA!
Then u support this lying corrupt Muslim Obama and the LYING BITCH HILLARY AND U R THE REASON WE R IN DEEP S_ _ T because uwill not print the truth u r PC LIBERALS WHO HATE ANERICA
That worthless lying piece of sh_t Obama should have been impeach a long time ago. he has already put America in a real bad shape that I do not know how America is going to recover from a 21 trillion dollar deficit. He has mortgage the future, God only knows for how many years, all I can say America is in really bad shape. What really bother me is that we still have to pay for that sorry worthless piece of sh_t to play golf.
The polls show Kirk losing by at least 6%. Clinton is ahead in Illinois by at least 15%. Kirk is desperate and it shows in his comments – he has also said that Trump is “too bigoted and racist” to be president. The Democrats should send him a nice bunch of flowers for his help in giving them back the Senate.
No one ever accused Trump of racism until he ran against democrats.
This is so terribly bad that it simply amazes me as to why I am the minority in America who clearly sees this and has this position. You have almost all of the media, Wall Street, corporate America against us. The owners of Google and Apple should be the most free enterprise supports of the great American system, yet Jeff Besos is trying to kill the American Dream as the most LIBERAL big guy in the Country.
I live in Seattle, so I know this.
It’s all a huge disgrace to our morals and ethics as a country. Obama paid a clear ransome and is still lying about it. He has the worst PR department on the planet.
Does anyone ever remember any racism in the last 25 years until The last few with Obama
NO PRESIDENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE OUR LEADER IF HE SUPPORTS OR EVEN OK’S BLACK LIVES MATTER DEMONSTRATIONS YELLING THAT COPS SHOULD BE KILLED. THAT IS NOT FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THAT IS ANARCHY
People need to listen to the Bengaz families, the ex secrete service, the key border control on the ground people, the last survivor etc. it is impossible for all of these people to be lying. My intuition has always been very very strong and it is a blessing that I have been given this and have this. My gut is talking so loudly here and when it talks like this it has NEVER been wrong in my 50 years of living. NEVER.
I AM SO DISAPPPOINTED IN OUR REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP TO LET A LOT OF THIS HAPPEN. PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT TED CRUZ BIG TIME BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE THAT WAS WILLING TO BE CARRIED OFF THE FLOOR OR BE TERMINATED FOR NOT ALLOWING THIS IRAN SITUATION TO OCCUR.
I’m a sad American – we are fighting about things that should be solidly in place and non partisan
A BORDER
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
CORPORATE TAX INVERSION ETC.
ENERGY INDEPENDANCE
I PRAY TO God every morning and night that he stop Hillary and Obama, among others. I know Trump will never tell a real lie to the American people. NEVER. that’s why so many people hate him because he speaks the truth. It is so so very clear to me that he can shave off 50% of our
Irresponsible spending. 50%
If you want your chance or your kids chance at what America represents- the real American Dream, then don’t let the Government steal it from you with lies, red tape and regulated bureaucracy
Our country should be the best and right now there are many other countries people prefer. SAD
PLEASE VOTE FOR TRUMP AMD LET HIM CLEAN HOUSE AND LET HIM RUN OUR COUNTRY LIKE A PROUD EFFICIEMT SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS
THANK YOU
M from Seattle
Kirk is correct. Obama just can’t send the American peoples money to whomever he so chooses. He is a menace to our country and has been helping and supporting terrorism right along, otherwise, he were not, we would have conquered the Isis by this time. I believe he is a terrorist plot himself and his wife as well, she too, has never said anything good about America. They got elected because of stupid people listening to his stupid ways and being the first black person to become president that everyone overlooked what he would actually stand for, he definitely conned the American people. He has provide anything but good to our country and has done nothing for our Country except bring more damage to our people. He should have been impeached and now been locked up for Treason. Anyone else would have been. He is programming Clinton, as she is an evil person and will follow in his footsteps and totally destroy what of America is left. God Bless America. Trump is our only hope. He is honest, raised great children and has made great companies that do well and proper. He knows how to get rid of the riff-raff that Obama brought into our government with these so called Democrats (there not democrats anymore) aren’t American people but Muslims as Obama is and how he believes, they believe. It needs to stop. We need to come together and stop it.
THE LAME DUCK or should I say, THE LAME “QUACK” paid a ransom……..he doesn’t give a damn about America! On vacation again??????
The history of American politics would make quite a soap opera. it’s packed with Hero’s and Villains Mystery, Murder and Intrigue.
If a ransom was paid, it leaves the door open for others to successfully
blackmail the United States. Where
does it end? It never does.
The only thing I want to know is what Iran threatened Obama with in order
to ensure payment of the blackmail.
Was it threats to dump US dollars on
the currency markets, or some other devastating blow to the already weak
American economy. Whatever it was would make for extremely interesting
reading. Of course the American public will never be told, but will be
required to pay, and pay, and pay.
As well, it will be interesting to see if Obama steps down once his term in
office comes to an end. Please recall
that he’s fired all the military brass, and replaced them with his own choices. It remains to be seen whether they will side with Obama, or the American people.
IMPEACH NOW
When does Osama work? He has spent most of his presidency taking lavish trips and playing golf. Oh, I forgot he has also released terrorists from Guantanamo back to their countries so they can continue to kill our people., and he has spent our taxpayers money and indebted us forever, and brought terrorists into our country from our enemy nations to kill Americans. I blame the demos for voting for this heathen and continue to support Killary, the other half of the Alinski and Soros models.
If you were to send more than $10,000 in cash without reporting it you would be looking at some jail time and/or some big fines. Its called the Bank Secrecy Act to prevent money laundering. Why did we send cash? I do believe there is a mechanism where the money could be wired. Just how much money was spent in this clearly questionable and possibly illegal act? What happened to obama’s promise of a transparent government? Gee – another lie.
We were just paying back the money that belonged to Iran. It was part of the Nuclear Deal that was signed last January. They wanted a Billion ( which was THEIR MONEY ) , but they only got 400 million. We paid in cash because we have no banking relationship with the country. The Bank Secrecy Act only applies to U.S. Citizens DEPOSITING more than 10K in one bank transaction.
Bruce-
How did the 150 BILLION get to Iran?
Why was this payment IN CASH, in different currencies(Euro and Swiss franc) and kept hidden from the American People for so long, if it was on the up and up?
Have you ever READ the definition of “ransom”? If not, you should look it up and keep it in mind while you read and watch the fancy dancing by D’OweBama supporters/spokesmodels/weaseling liars. Did you read any interviews of the hostages, and how they were NOT to be released until the cash plane came in?
“Leverage” my ass; it was a ransom, plain, simple, no bones about it.
I never heard of obuma a before 8 years ago. That isn’t a America name. That name says a lot to me. Also. The prayer at the inauguration let the white do right, told me a lot too. It said troubles coming. Now trouble is here. It’s not too late to impeach. Put it on the book to go down in History.
IMPEACH NOW
President Obama should be impeached.
Obama, in my mind is a traitor, and so is most of the others up in DC I have thought in my mind that Obama has bribed these senators and representatives and that is why he is getting away with everything without being impeached, which should have happened in his first term. I wonder if in fact he did win the second term legally, or was there a lot of voter fraud. How long do these people up there think things can keep going on cheating and lying to the people of America. another Boston tea party is in order wipe the slate clean and start over.
By the time the process to impeach him goes through he will be out of office
wake up America befor it is to late!!!!!
He’s right on Target! Drug Dealer in Chief…Muslim Extemist…He’s part of the “brotherhood” who want to eradicate the Western World. The Presidency is his American job!! Way to go voters who put him in office! You helped seal our doom! YES! He should have been IMPEACHED a loooong time ago.
The alias, Barrak H. Obama continues to be unqualified for the US Presidency, Pelosi should be charged with treason for supporting his candidacy, the Obama entourage and all members of congress who have pledged 1st allegiance to Israel should be arrested, charged with treason and quartered in Guantanamo until their cases are adjudicated.
George H. W. Bush/MOSSAD/CIA influence has targeted the leadership of Iran for challenging the illegal UN confiscation of Palestinian territory and issuing it as a land-grant to Ben Gurion as the representative of Judaism. The semi-genocide initiated by Ben Gurion in 1947 against Palestinians, that was consumated in the 1948 land-grant, fraudulently named “Israel” has been continued. Judaism´s expansion as far as the Golan Heights of Syria, and its drilling for oil on Syrian territory should be stopped by whatever means are required. Iranian leadership has consistently defended its territory against Judaism´s subterfuge and further encroachment on Arab lands of thousands of years, which is the main reason for the continued defamation of Iran by Judaism´s (Israeli) leadership. Iranian leadership has shown consistent patience by not responding in-kind for the attack on its nuclear facility by Judaism´s MOSSAD. More recently, Iran has consistently fought the terrorism that has been deceitfully conducted by Judaism´s MOSSAD in the Arabian, Middle-East territories. A revealing article by a Jewish historian and a famous Rabbi explain that the current terrorism in the ME by Judaism´s israeli leadership is a continuation of Ben Gurion´s terrorism initiated in late 1947. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/08/prominent-jewish-leader-israel-intentionally-killed-civillians-1948-engaged-ethnic-cleansing-ever-since.html
Jews for justice in the Middle East, Berkeley, CA, published a treatise that documents the semi genocide initiated by Gen Gurion, and declaring that the current genocide of Arabs in their own lands is a continuation of Ben Gurion-type terrorism. The document can be downloaded at the following link: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/history/origin.html
The continued, current defamation and demonization of Iran results from the propaganda and terrorism that is conducted by Israeli (Judaism´s) leadership via the Likud party of “Israel”. The recent refund of Iranian dollars that US leadership has illegally held since 1979, (Ben-Menashe, p. 75) that the alias, Obama returned to Iran, which Jewish media has associated with the recent release of prisoners due to the timing, is an excellent example of propaganda against Iran. While the alias, Barrak H. Obama has committed treason against the USofA since 2007, perhaps earlier, the return to Iran of its money may have been one of the few appropriate actions he has taken while illegally occupying the POTUS slot.
Comments like this may help Sen. Kirk save his political future. As more becomes known about the Iranian money transfer they are going to begin to see this as the actions of an ineffective president who paid ransom to one of America’s enemies. This is also setting the stage to make Hillary either condemn the president’s actions or take the voters’ wrath for caving in to our enemies.
The ransom has the potential to create problems for Hillary Clinton. There is still enough time for this to grow into a scandal before election day.
EVERYONE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION IS CORRUPT. THIS MAN THAT OCCUPIES THE WHITE HOUSE LIES WHEN HIS LIPS ARE MOVING AND IS NOT TRUSTED BY MILLIONS FOR THAT VERY REASON. NO TRANSPARENCY, NO LOYALTY TO AMERICA, HATRED FOR ‘WE THE PEOPLE’, AND HAS A DIAGNOSABLE PERSONALITY MALADY OF NARCISSISM, WITH OTHER PATHOLOGY. THIS IS WHY MR. TRUMP IS SO REFRESHING. HE’S MAYBE NOT THE MOST SAVVY SPEAKER, BUT HE DOESN’T LIE, LOVES AMERICA, AND WILL FIGHT FOR US ALL! … NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. TRUST AND BELIEVE, AND VOTE! GOD BLESS AMERICA. PLEASE. WE NEED A BREAK.

I agree with kirk. I also believe It’s time that we the people take charge & demand that obama, clintons & Soros be convicted for their crimes and that all their money be taken to help undo all the harm they have done to Americans & the United States. Lets start cleaning house. People we need to unite & and take back our power.
I put my comment on here but these assholes at the famous site are all too damned chicken shit to PRINT what I wrote. Why the hell should they worry about what I say. I simply told the truth, that Obama is, and always has been a low-life bastard, and I was trained in knowing how to deal I would simply blow his black ass brains out.
Excuse my bad writing. What I meant to say was if I had been trained in how to wipe out people like him I would have blown his ignorant black ass brains out a long time ago.
You chicken shit, ignorant ass fools. Why don’t you print the truth and let him come after me. You posting police are just as damned bad as the rest of the queers and pukes in D.C.
After reading most of these “Blogs” and dealing with spelling and punctuation errors I ask this one question. Has anyone considered that the “Anti-Christ” is not an individual but a movement?
