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:

I got an idea… Since congress has the power to declare war… Why doesn’t congress band together and demand his release without waiting on this duchebag of a president to finish golfing and giving aid to terrorist in Syria!!!
I haven’t been able to figure out why Obama’s masters don’t want to get this Marine out. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the Mexico/US border, but I don’t have a handle on it yet. For them to trade for a possible traitor, but leave this guy here, just doesn’t make sense. There’s got to be a reason behind it.
obama is a sissy. he gives away 5 terrorists for one deserter but won’t get one innocent man out of jail. what a $#%&!@* obama is. he is a disgrace to the human race. he deserves whatever he gets.
We’ll trade Obama for our marine.
HE IS NOT BLACK OR MUSLIM OR MEXICAN THIS IS WHY
We can entertain all kinds of Mexicans in the U.S. But we can’t get one of our own freed?! Sickening
So sad. All kinds of intervention in ferguson but nothing for this man
OBAMANATION COULD CARE LESS ABOUT AMERICA AND HER PEOPLE AND HE IS INSTRUCTED BY THE POWERS THAT BE TO DESTROY HER! THESE ARE THE PUPPET MASTERS BEHIND OBAMANATION IT IS NOT ONLY HIM HE MUST CARRY OUT THEIR ORDERS AND SO THEY ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER TO BRING IN THIS NWO=NEW WORLD ORDER! ONCE THEY MAKE A REASON TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW AND DISARM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEN IT WILL BE SLAVERY FROM HERE ON OUT! ONCE THEY CAN GET THAT RFID CHIP INTO EVERYONE THEN THEY HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THE HUMAN RACE! AND FOR THOSE THAT WILL NOT GO ALONG WITH THE RFID CHIP AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER THEY WILL BE MURDERED!!!
if that marine was BLACK Obama would tear mexico a new ass if they didnt release him
Of course he won’t help an HONORABLE marine…he doesn’t get to release 5 terrorists in exchange for him…
