Location: Bastrop, Texas | I think things like this that present "bad optics" are a recreational activity for Obama. For all I know, what transpired was completely legal and legitimate. It's his way of flipping us the bird. It's also a good distraction. We will probably see things like this for the next 3 months. It takes the attention off Hillary and her own lingering problems and sometimes lures Trump into a trap. So far, he's been stepping in it. The strategy seems to be working. If I were Hillary, I wouldn't hold a press conference either. |

If you are referring to me, i couldn't care less how it makes me "look". I know I'm not ignorant. If you are looking for ignorance, look in the mirror. |

| Seriously Vickie? I do have a problem with him. I HAVE ZERO respect for him. If I'm not mistaken you're the one who referred to Trump supporters as "white trash" in a previous post.
You obviously have no viable defense for this President so you pick up my nickname and attack me for your perception of my lack of intelligence and call me stupid. LOL such a hypocrite |

Why he has earned every one of his nicknames. To get respect you have to earn it this man has done nothing to earn respect quite the opposite. |

I reserve the right to disrespect any president if I want to. The last one was referred to as Shrub, this one is Ovomit. I'm an equal opportunity hater.  |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | If you really want to feel like throwing up in the grass...it wasn't actually $400Million we "owed" Iran...this payoff will include $1.3 billion in interest on that $400 Mil. It was money paid to the US for weapons/military hardware that we never gave them due to the break down of relations back in the 70's.
Will someone explain to me why we had to give them the money...now (January) after all these years...when it is known that Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism? And they hate us? Oh...wait..."What Difference Does it Make?"
Why in foreign currency...cash...on pallets in the dark of night...only to "coincidentally" result in the release of hostages? I get why no wire transfer...but to me if we can't wire the money through traditional channels because we have such a dysfunctional relationship with them still...then they shouldn't have sent the money at all. I would bet my own money that the untraceable cash is already in the hands of terrorists...or funding Iran's effort to build nuclear weapons that they will happily turn and use on US interests.
This administration makes me feel as though I'm living in an alternate universe where common sense doesn't exist. And I'll call that joke of a president and his liberal delusional sycophants any name I like. They have earned them all. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Liberals can decry you for the name calling.......and in the same sentence call you a "bully". We get so used to their hypocrisy and double standards that we barely notice it. |

Does not inconsistency equate to lying? Or at the very least hypocritical?

They are so busy pointing fingers at each other or trying to "one-up" their counterparts, that it makes having a rational discussion a moot point.

| There was no name calling of anyone commenting or looking at this thread until someone took offense to me calling Obama, Obozo. I gave "just the facts" as ooriginal OP asked. Vickie called me ignorant and stupid which are completely different things by definition. I simply pointed out the hypocrisy in her statement. |

Show me one single forum where spirited political debates are devoid of name calling and full of civility. Show me one. There is no such thing. Bullies, snarky remarks, sarcasm......all part of political discourse. If someone is too fragile to handle it, then they should stick to romance novels.
