The White House recently responded to the online petition to demand the release of U.S.M.C. Sgt. Tahmooressi, still sitting in a Mexican prison after 5 months and being completely ignored by his Commander In Chief.
As expected, Obama still refuses to do anything to help our Marine.
The U.S. State Department continues to provide extensive consular assistance to Mr. Tahmooressi, and will do so until his case is resolved. As in all cases when a U.S. citizen is arrested overseas, our goal is to see that Mr. Tahmooressi is treated fairly during the judicial process with the hope that he can receive the support, both emotional and medical, that he may require now and at the conclusion of the proceedings.
Mexico is one of the United States’ most important partners. We have close economic and cultural ties, and we work closely with them on numerous sensitive issues. While we will not go into detail about our private diplomatic discussions on this case, U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, have spoken to Mexican officials at the highest levels regarding Mr. Tahmooressi’s case.
Mexican authorities have been very willing to engage on this issue. They have provided prompt and continued consular access and visitations. As a result, the State Department has been able to provide regular updates on Mr. Tahmooressi’s condition to his family, Members of Congress, and the press.
We respect the rule of law and expect the judicial process of sovereign nations to protect other U.S. citizens who might find themselves in similar circumstances in the future. We will continue to monitor the case and work with the Mexican authorities as this case proceeds through the Mexican judicial system. We continue to urge the Mexican authorities to process this case expeditiously.
Of course this is all complete BS. Obama could simply demand the release of our Marine at any time. We gave Mexico $265 million in aid in 2013, and we can’t demand they help close the border and give us back our Marine?
“Private diplomatic discussions’? Of this I’m sure, Obama doesn’t want you to hear his private conversations where he tells his subordinates “We might do something about it next year.”
“We respect the rule of law” Uh, now is not the time to make jokes!
Sgt. Tahmooressi served his country honorably with 2 tours in Afghanistan and has been diagnosed with PTSD. He is now flat broke, having spent all his money on lawyers.
The Leathernecks Marine Corp Motorcycle Club of Central Florida is rallying to raise money to help Tahmooressi:

OMG oslimeo is such a waste of oxygen.
If u voted for Obama do the world a favor and choke to death
If our Marine had been a Muslim, he’d been home the next day.
I hope if one of his family members get thrown in jail, the US will react about the same way. He is such a POS, not worthy of being the leader of this once great country.
HE AGAIN SHOWS HE IS A POS
Obama traded a deserter for 5 terrorists, but ignore the plight of Tahmooressi.
And he is the President.. and you sad people.. type on a website … hmmmm …. lol
How ironic. The criminal prez refuses to come to the aide of military sworn to protect ..
….. unspeakable self.
IF THE MARINE WAS BLACK I BET HE WOULD.
His brothers in the core will sneak in there and take him out and no one will even know it.Some of us Americans are just waitng for our military to turn on this administration and when they have had enough of this clown and chief who does not respect them,and allows terrorist to leave our prison but does nothing for one of our own,Its coming and when it does the $#%&!@* will hit the fan if the militia doesn’t act first and that may happen sooner then anyone thinks.Hold on marine we will come for you there are people in your country who could give a $#%&!@* less about this lawless government we can and will enforce our own power on this $#%&!@*ed up Mexican country and we just might decide to march on to DC they need a dam good ass whipping and reconstructed
