While liberals have been busy trying to deny that the Obama administration helped to fund the Iranian regime, and thus by extension its craven recent attacks on US forces in the region, it turns out, unsurprisingly, that Obama did help to fund the terror regime.
In fact, according to National Review, he secretly airlifted over 400 million dollars to Iranian mullahs as ransom money:
In his address to the nation this morning, Donald Trump asserted that the ballistic missiles that targeted the al-Assad and Erbil bases in Iraq yesterday were paid for using “funds made available by the last administration.” Few things irritate media fact checkers more than Trump’s accusation that Obama helped fund the Iranian regime and its terror apparatus. Probably because it’s completely true…
We never “owed” the Islamic Republic any money. This is a myth. In 2016, the United States was in the middle of an unresolved dispute in front of the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal at The Hague over cash advanced by the Shah for military equipment we refused to deliver after the 1979 revolution. You might recall, this is when Iran began prosecuting its war against the United States, taking hostages, and killing service members.
It is unlikely that U.S. would ultimately have been obligated to hand over a single deutschmark to the mullahs. For one thing, the U.S. had its own counterclaims over Iran’s many violations — which, in total, exceeded the amount supposedly “owed” to it. Obama, in his obsessive goal of placating Iran to procure a deal, unilaterally dismissed a stipulation held by the previous administration that the United States wouldn’t release funds until other court judgments held against Iran for its terrorist acts on American citizens were all resolved.
Let’s remember, until the Wall Street Journal reported that the administration had secretly airlifted $400 million in ransom payments for four Americans detained in Tehran — seven months after the fact — we were never informed about the cash transfers. And Obama never offered any legal justification or accounting for the billions he transferred. Nor did Obama ever explain the fiscal calculation of tacking on an extra $1.3 billion in interest payments. The president, in fact, risibly claimed that the agreement had saved “billions of dollars.”
Obama was a DIVISIVE FAILURE (Identity Politics divide America)…he really SUCKED….

Trump might leave a lot to be desired, but respecting the above, it seems that former Democratic President Obama has a number of things to explain. I note, correct me should I be in error here, but the above referenced explanations are conspicuous by their absence.
Americans, let’s help D.J. and ourselves!
In 1982 an assessment of the actual threats to DOD personnel assigned abroad was conducted by a group of army officers. Their briefing to Reagan’s military chiefs provided the most significant threat was that presented by the Islamic State. That briefing provided one very old principal of war (The best defense is a good offense) and a new one just for the radical Muslim crowd (Kill them in their beds before they kill us in ours) were best suited to meet the threat. No one listened and it has cost America trillions of dollars and thousands of our young people. While you are thanking God for D.J. Trump read the comment below and ask yourselves, when are you going to act to help him save your behinds?

Rape, Pillage,Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had!
How much more before you stand up to those who have made the following lessons learned facts?
1. The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the American political class, the American bureaucracy, the American media, and American academia.
2. Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.
3. The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
4. Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards.
5. The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and most especially domestic.

PS These lessons learned were first presented to a gathering of Americans in 1989. The only positive change to the American political environment since then has been the arrival of one, Donald J. Trump!
Everybody knows that Obama was corrupt, even his supporters, if they would be honest to themselves. It is just that his supporters forgive him for his deceit, because the end justifies the means in their opinion.
It is interesting to note, that traditionally Presidents did not stay in Washington after they left office. Obama is the exception and his residence is fully staffed, which is also most unusual. Why does he need a staff of 20 people? My sense is that he is running a shadow government, which he set up before he left office. He also set up an awesome fund raising mechanism to try to control the Democratic Party, its candidates and its Congressional members. America has never seen this and the Mainstream Media refuses to discuss what they know is the truth about Obama. Trump’s poll numbers are now showing that an increasing number of African Americans are disillusioned by the Democrats. Trump is understandably concerned that going after Obama could turn that situation around, but, if he can bring himself to do the right thing, Obama should find himself, along with Hillary, and several others, under indictment.
G-d willing.
If that money was legitimately theirs, why was it done in secret. Such a web of lies!
Obama did nothing but lie about everything he ever did. His whole life was a lie and why are these conservative sites still always plastering his lying face and asking if you would vote for this scumball? We just want to forget this evil good for nothing liar. Do not post his face on these sites.

I wonder what it takes for the people of the United States to see that we have a Terrorist House of Congress, Justice Department, IRS, Hell millions of you have not received anything out of the raises on your social security they shifted the money to Medicare and they have at the same time cut your medicare and raised all of your medicine. The house of Congress wants to remove or shut down the only President in 50 years that has worked for America. Department of Education runs communist programs at our schools. Child services wants to take over your homes and run your childrens lives put hold you responsible for their wrong doing. They want and fight to have illegals in the country and they are taken care of better then Americans, they want the boarders open and fight for it at all cost to have every illegal thing come into the country and do as they please, And the house of Congress controlled by the Democrats has done no work at all for this country for Three years at all and have done nothing to help this country in 70 years. And they call out it is free. Well how did that happen the Government money is the peoples money. Did the jerk off law makers pay for anything out of their pockets. hell no they have not even paid back the money they have stolen for personal gains from Social Security
A “border” is a demarcation between countries. A “boarder” is someone who is paying a rent for a room in a house.
None of the House members should be getting paid. They have done nothing for the country in the last 3 years. You and I would not have a job if we did not do what is necessary. Why do these smug politicians think they deserve their pay and their huge pensions? They are literally robbing us blind. Why can’t they be on Social Security benefits like every one else? There is something wrong with this government. It stinks.
Obama the worst President in our history., Carter was in over his head and should never been President and the things he done was incompetent but Obama knew what he was doing and it was criminal and he knew it!
yes, thanks Billy
OBAMA MADE ENOUGH MONEY FROM IRAN FOR RELEASING MONEY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SETTLED IN COURT FOR THE ATROCITIES THE IRANIANS PUT ON AMERICANS. BUT OBAMA NOW IS THE PROUD OWNER OF A 14 MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE, HE PAID FOR WITH THE BLOOD OF THOSE KILLED OR WOUNDED BY THE IRANIAN REGIME.
Not bad for a former meager income “community organizer” who never presented legitimate documentation for [any] office. The people of the U.S. were grandly “snookered”.
Not bad for a former low income “community organizer” who never presented legitimate documentation for (ANY) office. The NWO takes very good care of its high profile puppets.
isn’t it treason to help our enemies ? once again congress turned a blind eye to the corrupt oboma , it only proves congress doesn’t work for americans any more , the more they tie trumps hands the more harm america is vonerable to , we should have stood up when they elected the illegal kenyan terrorist to office
Need term limits and ZERO retirement, there should be ZERO career politicians they get richer and screw the citizens. Pelosi helped her brother get on the same board that Hunter was on in Ukraine. She should go to jail along with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden!
And yet Obama is still free, still running the shadow government in Washington DC, everyone knows it, yet, no one in authority to do anything about it reacts with nothing but acceptance.
Traitors all, to a man.
This information is taken from an *opinion* piece and has no basis in fact. These claims have been debunked over and over. The money returned was frozen Iranian assets. There’s enough to be upset about without inventing things. And for those people upset about the loss of taxpayer monies: 1) It wasn’t OUR money to begin with. 2) President Trump has already spent more money golfing than Obama did in eight years. He’s making money on the Presidency; he could simply *give* rooms and food and whatnot to all the Secret Service personnel when they accompany him to his various properties – instead, he charges *us*, the taxpayers. And immediately after he was inaugurated, initiation fees at Mar-a-Lago DOUBLED, because he knew people would pay it to gain access to him. I agree we should be upset about wasting tax money, but a little consistency would be nice.
No, you are wrong. Still living under the lies from Obama and his cronies. And Obama got rich from his presidency while Trump gives his salary to charities. He started with more money than he has now becsause he is not trying to get rich from his office. Furthermore Obama spent so much taxpayer money on his constant vacations and tips around the world. I wonder how he found time to do anything positive t all. Better get YOUR facts straight!!!
I recall that Obama took to India thousands of his closest Indian friends. The White House never released the total cost of that trip, which included positioning a Naval Fleet off the coast of India. IMO, Obama was the most profligate and worst President in US history, even exceeding Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, the latter of whom gave the Chinese the technology to lift their rockets into space, in exchange for which he received a good chunk of campaign money through his bag man, Al Gore.
Talk about a huge load of B.S. You must follow the bull around to keep full all of the time. You have absolutely no basis in fact for your allegations. But, let’s say they were true, which is a helluvalot to say. Can you show any receipt to prove that the secret service stays at Mara Lago, and how much was paid. And if so, can you show how the president was enumerated for those funds. He will not even accept his presidential salary. I’ll bet you took your salary! You are an extreme hypocrite, who talks in generalities wit not one shred of evidence to anything you say. Show us the facts, big mouth. Your opinion is worth what the bull is putting out that you are inhaling.
Put down your peace pipe. You are very ill informed. WE SEE OBAMA FOR WHAT HE IS… A GEORGE SOROS STOOGE. quote Soros “I elected Obama” I am the king maker”. Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it!
Pick out of it what you will, but why was this all in cash wrapped up on pallets in aircraft holds. How much of this cash did the Iranian people see or feel the benefit of?
https://fortune.com/2016/09/07/us-iran-billion-hostages-arms-deal/
The Obama administration has maintained that the $400 million was the first part of $1.7 billion sum it had agreed to pay Iran to resolve a failed decades-old arms deal made with the government of the Shah of Iran, which had paid the Pentagon a $400 million deposit prior to the 1979 uprising that ousted him. The $400 million was for airplane parts, which were never delivered, the Journal reports.
According to Obama administration officials, the U.S. government worried that a tribunal set up in The Hague to resolve U.S.-Iran claims would have awarded Iran $4 billion or more, so the U.S. and Iran negotiated a deal that gave Iran the original $400 million plus $1.3 billion in interest. The two more recent payments would complete that initial $1.7 billion agreement.
Obama needs to be held accountable for his robbing ways 0f our tax money.
Like I said in the beginning , Obama takes over revenges from radical poisonings mom since he were little wrapped around with Iranian Italy fakes births certificates fixed entry through Indonesia , Hawaii into the base US city Chicago study as laws student until he be able to held African American to support him be a US President till Trump exists take over lead to explore his deep relationship involved as terrorism polarized in overthrow the US politics platform as far beyond at bright and dark sides in Americans history and Why we are so surprised this happened !
It’s getting harder to tell the difference between obamba and the Iranian Mullahs. Maybe there is no difference ?
That’s because there IS NO difference; Some people just not have come to accept the fact that we had an ILLEGAL, TERRPORIST USURPER in the White House for 8 years. It should make for a few after- the- fact nightmares when you consider what he was “entrusted” with. One Congress member who was in the know as to his ineligibility for the White House is Nancy Pelosi. As to who orchestrated his “façade” family, including a tranny “wife” and two “bought or borrowed” daughters, to give him a sense of respectability, besides Soros, Jeremiah Wright and Jesse Jackson, it would be interesting to find out; it would also be interesting to find out how many Republican politicians were involved in the farce they foisted onto us which placed the entire nation at great danger. The objective was the complete dismantling of the US, but being the bumbler that he is, he did not quite manage to complete the agenda, although he pretty much dismantled the Military, made targets out of law enforcement, and rendered Congress and the Supreme Court Obsolete ; This is where Hillary came in she was to occupy the White House while he completed his agenda, whether it took one or two more terms in office; Remember that he had his Mini White House, that brick Mansion a few blocks from the White House, all equipped, including the HIGH WALLS. and ready to go to continue ‘running” the government until his mission was accomplished. Let that sink in and think about what this country would be like now if Hillary had pulled it off.
Obama got rich off of his Presidency. I wonder how much of the money sent to Iran was kicked back to Obama. The money was “cash” so not traceable, so what would have stopped him from taking as much as he wanted?
Barack Obama systemically provided aid and comfort to ALL of America’s declared enemies during his administration. He was the consummate “CAPITULATOR IN CHIEF”. He shamelessly bent over to foreign adversaries in favor of lifting a finger on behalf of the American people. In my opinion he was the WRONG person, at the WRONG time, for the WRONG reason. In the fulness of time, I am convinced that it will become more evident.
