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:

We have been subjected to a terrible injustice in our nation. Running on a war weary nation, you and I were promised to see an end to two wars. No one wants to see our military service men and women subjected to fulfill those roles to protect our nation and the freedoms of others. We believed that this promise would be accomplished with a mission to end when it was ready and responsibly. This turned out to be a grave mistake that created a massive location for terrorists to grow and gain support that has overtaken Syria, led back into Iraq that no has a RELIGOUS war against Christians. Our current leadership has failed you and I in every way and proven that even further by openly stating we have no plans to take on this threat. ( SEEN HERE: http://youtu.be/pssoTxQJH3g )At the same time our once timid ally has become the aggressor once again and invading a nation that broke away from the Bear’s collapse after the Berlin wall fell and the cold war ended. The Ukraine is a free democratic nation that is being overrun by bullies. Our leadership is failing us again and our nations promise to defend freedom wherever it is in this world. We now see the “flexibility ” that Obama promised to Russia that was captured on an open mic. ( http://youtu.be/XsFR8DbSRQE)
We see social media being used to wage a war against the west and our way of life. President Bush warned that there would be a long fight ahead for all terrorist organizations and the governments that harbor and support them ( http://youtu.be/_CSPbzitPL8 ).
This is not whether you like President Bush or if you support President Obama. This is a clear definition of leadership in a crisis and the lack there of in our current administration. So lets ask ourselves some very tough questions.
Are we tired of war?
Yes!
Are we tired of seeing our own citizens gone for months and years at a time fighting these wars?
Yes!
Are we tired of seeing these monsters torture and kill innocent people and wage a religious war against Christians or any other religion?
YES!
Aren’t we tired of seeing President Obama play golf when he should be leading efforts of international support and creating measures to fight these Terrorists?
YES!
Are we ourselves a perfect country without our own problems of race and equality?
NO!
We have Freedom to express ourselves and live with civility in most cases. The ones who do not are criminals and do not obey the laws created to institute fairness and order. While there are still many areas we can improve on we continue to strive to do better and that sets us apart from the criminals, the extremists, the terrorists, and the monsters who commit these acts. We voice our opinions through conversation, arguments, legal proceedings and activism or peaceful protests and demonstrations. These people in the grip of ISIS or any other terror group and supporting governments do not have those options and are viciously attacked, maimed, tortured, and murdered.
Do you wish to see these type of attacks in our nation?
NO!
Then the answer is clear whether we like it or not, we must take action to end all TERRORISTS and EXTREMEISTS so that violence and senseless attacks NEVER happen within our borders.
Wake up America, we need to do something. Our elected leader doesn’t have the spine to do the right thing after all the years of failures from Benghazi, the IRS, Fast and Furious, Iraq, Syria, and now ISIS……
We need a new leader…
We need an

Shame-shame, shame—–
And they call him the commander in chief??? He is not a commander of nothing. He is nothing but a terrorist. This is still no reason to ignore this Marine in Mexico!!!’ Bring him home Now!!!!!!
release him now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure hope Andrew gets back home soon with God’s help, he don’t deserve to be locked up in Mexico. He did nothing wrong. Obama lied when he said no American left behind. Obama is on the wrong side of America and the American people He should be in prison for all the harm he has done.
Trade in that ASS for This Marine !
He is white so obama doesnt give a c**p about him…if he was black it would be national news and obama would be threatening war with mexico….the racist in chief strikes again
the guy broke mexican law. just because he was in the service once doesn’t give him any special privileges. the mexicans don’t care; as such he is in the mexican legal system.

But its ok for the mexican military to cross our border and shoot at americans and for millions to invade our country bringing with them crime, illegal guns, illegal drugs, terrorists, and obama has no problem helping them though they broke our laws….does anyone else see a problem with this?
